Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello Shubhangi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
1) For your pimples, you could benefit from using a gel containing 1 % Clindamycin gel in the morning and 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide gel at bedtime.
Use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil OS cleanser to wash your face.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid fried foods and sugary foods.
2) For the tanning, you could use a gel containing 6% glycolic acid at bedtime.
Use a gel based, broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 and above every 4 hours to prevent further darkening of the skin. Repeat application every 3-4 hours.
You could get chemical peels like glycolic acid peels done by a dermatologist.
You could also use a vitamin C containing serum at bed time before the application of glycolic acid gel.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
