Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Regular use of a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers protection against both UVA and UVB, is advisable throughout the day on all exposed areas e.g face, arms etc to prevent sun induced tan

Skin lightening cream contain one or more of the following ingredients which help to fade away the tan gradually e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, liquorice, tetrahydrocurcumin etc. Ban a Tan cream is one of these preparations and is absolutely safe to use for sun induced tanning.
