Hi ! Start using a sunscreen with an SPF of atleast 30 . For the acne scars and pores , an assessment has to be made in person , so that the treatment can be planned.Usually acne scars do not respond much to creams/gels alone . Procedural treatment is required and that can be decided only after assessing the severity and type of the scars.
Next Steps
Sunscreen is very effective for preventing further tanning of skin.Use the sunscreen once in 3-4 hours especially between 7am-5pm on all days,irrespective of the climate.
Health Tips
Do not go for over the counter/pharmacist prescribed creams claiming to remove the tan ! I hope this helps !
