Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

Due to lack of sun protection, our skin usually gets tanned.

The best treatment for it would be application of glycolic acid cream at night. It will require a prescription.

Also using a sunscreen would be important in order to prevent from tanning in the future.
Its important to use the sunscreen one every four hours as the effect lasts only for four hours.

Take care
