Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello, let me tell you that melanin is a protective pigment, that is protecting ur skin from sunburn and various skin cancers...Tanning is a protective mechanism in itself, the only concern is cosmetic
Tanning is reversible, reverts to normal on avoidance of skin exposure in a few days.
To avoid it and to have sunprotection at the same time, u need appropriate usage of sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15, eg Shadowz silk lotion, liberally 30 min before stepping out in day, on the exposed parts..also use broad rimmed hats, umbrella, full sleeved clothing as feasible.
You don't need any hydroquinone or lasers for the same.
Thanks
Take care
