Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it's better to use sunblocks with SPF 30 and above instead of quoting sun exposure altogether.
Sunblocks will be used in particular areas and thus help with darkening prevention and the rest of the useful effects are still achieved like vitamin D formation etc.
However, if problem persists, a dermatologist review and consideration of UV therapy may be an option.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
