Brief Answer:
Chemical peels, sunscreen

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin condition.
From your history it seems you have got excessive tanned skin because of your outdoor sporting activity.
For you I would suggest you get series of chemical peels from a qualified dermatologist. Chemical peels help in rejuvenating your skin by removing dead upper layers of skin. Of all the chemical peels, Glycolic acid is common used and has very good results. Other common peels used are salicyclic acid, retinol peel( yellow peel), cocktail peels etc.
If additionally preceded by a simple procedure called microdermabrasion, even more gratifying results can be achieved.
At home, I would suggest regular use of cream containing mixture of kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice extract and tetrahydrocurcumin. Also, twice a week facial masks containing kojic acid and vitamin C can be applied at home.
Always use high SPF (>50) before going out in sun and repeat after every 2 hours if possible.
Hope this will take care of your situation
Thank you
