Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Tanning seems to be your main concern. Sea side sun has lot of UV rays and therefore it is quite common to get tanned on a beach vacation, specially if you did'nt used a sunscreen.
Sun protection is an essential part in the management of tanning. I would suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day.
A sunscreen with minimum spf 30 or more is broad spectrum. Reapply every 2 -3 hours whenever outdoors.
Besides sun protection you may also use a pigment lightening cream containing one or more of the pigment lightening ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin etc.
The mechanism of action of these ingredients is either by exfoliation of existing pigment Or by prevention of synthesis of new pigment.
These pigment reducing creams are prescription products and therefore I suggest you to talk to your doctor for the needful.
