Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
Your problem is that of skin pigmentation due to sun induced tanning .
First of all, it is important that you use a good sunscreen with a spf of atleast 26 regularly over your face and other exposed body parts. Apply it atleast thirty minutes before sun exposure .Reapply it every three hours if you stay out in the sun .
Now for the pigmentation that you have developed., you need to apply a skin lightening agent like kojivit cream over the affected areas twice a day .
In addition , take oral vitamin c supplements along once a day for atleast one month .
Try to wear full sleeved clothes so as to avoid sun exposure . Wear cap or hats so as to avoid direct sun exposure to face.
You can continue the above treatment for atleast three to four weeks to see any noticable difference .
Hope it helps
Please ask if you need any further clarifications
