Dear Bader,

I understand your concern of working in the sun and high temperature. It is advisable to keep your self covered to prevent direct exposure to the sun which is going to reduce tanning. You can use mosturizing lotions to prevent dryness of the skin. Sun screen lotions will prevent sun burns but they may not prevent the skin from being darker.

Wishing you the best.
