Tanning is a protective effect of skin against ultraviolet radiation.A sunscreen of 30 SPF is required.You must apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and at 9 am..noon and 3 pm. The adequate quantity is the size of a coin.Avoid skin lite cream as it is not indicated for tanning and on long term application it can itself induce pigmentation known as ochronosis.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy.
