I would suggest you to use a sunscreen, regularly.UV A part of the electromagnetic spectrum is mainly responsible for tanning. Therefore, a good sunscreen should have broad spectrum UV A coverage in addition to UV B coverage, in order to be able to prevent tanning and it needs to be applied in sufficient quantity and every 2-3 hourly.A sunscreen with minimum 30 spf would be adequate. It should mention both UV B and UV A coverage. Therefore it is important to select the right sunscreen for desired effectsIt should be applied in the following quantity:--3ml for face and neck(a little more than 1/2 teaspoon)--3ml for each arm(a little more than 1/2 teaspoon).A sunscreen should be applied every 2-3 hours.If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a cream containing one or more of the skin lightening agents e.g kojic acid (kojic cream), glycolic acid (Glyco -A cream), arbutin (Demelan cream) or hydroquinone etc once daily at night to gradually fade away the tan.Hope this helpsRegards
