Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have sun tanning and recurring prolonged exposure to sun can lead to excessive melanin production and causing dark spots on face..
I would suggest you to start washing your face with Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid containing facewash like Melaglow, AHA Glow etc..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Apply Vitamin E containing cream..
You can also apply Azelic acid creams..
You can exfoliate your skin twice a week that will help in reducing dead skin..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
You should completely avoid sun exposure to face and in case if you are exposed to sun you can always apply sunscreen lotion and cover your face with a scarf..
You can also consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
