Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.

I would advice that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen with UVA as well as UVB protective properties(minimum spf 30) throughout the day on all the sun exposed area like face, arms , neck.

Sun protective measures like umbrellas, full sleaves clothes, scarfs should be used as part of sun protective measures.

If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to use a demelanising cream containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin etc once daily to help fade away tan gradually

An oral Vit C once daily is also useful.

take care
regards
