Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have got Hyperpigmentation of skin due to sun exposure..
As your skin is sensitive to sun you can always cover your face with scarf when exposed to sun..
You can limit sun exposure as much as possible..
As of now you can start washing your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can apply Kojic Acid containing creams as it is Mushroom extract and safe for long term use..
Creams containing Vitamin E and C as well as Arbutin are effective..
You can scrub your face twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can take steam exposure on face and then gently scrub with a soft towel to remove dead skin..
You can always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for a treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
