Brief Answer:
you must use effective sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Please do not use lemon with milk anymore on your skin.
For the skin getting darker on exposure to direct sunlight, you must use effective sunscreen like Lotus sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 60 or 120. You should use this half an hour before going out in the sun to prevent direct sun damage on your face.
If possible, avoid going out in direct sun.
Apply the sunscreen every 2 hrs when you are under direct sunlight.
Wash your face with cold water, do not use warm or hot water.
To regain the original skin tone, use a toner like lakme skin toner.
I have given you the examples, you can use whichever brand is available for you and that brand which suits your skin.
Do not mess with your facial skin again, else you may cause permanent damage to the skin.
Wish you good health.
