Hi. Greetings. The following precautions would help you : 1. Daily use of sunscreen in day time of SPF 30 applied half hour before sun exposure 2. Daily bed time use of moisturiser like cetaphil or emoderm. Reapply during lunch break during office hours if u have dry skin. 3. Peeling agents prescribed by dermatologist for reducing tan quicker. Chemical peels and micro derm abrasion is also an option. 4. Evaluation by dermatologist as to rule out any pigmentation problem 5. Kindly read my blog on daily skin care on Practo health feed. Hope this helps. Warm regards. Dr Govind S Mittal, excel care hospital, Bangalore.
