Hi At the site you will be exposed to a lot of sun, dust, dirt and maybe pollen too. It would be advisable to apply a sunscreen with spf more than 30 to avoid tanning and sunlight induced skin changes. Reapply after 3-4 hrs. Cover your face with a cloth/ handkerchief and wear a broad brimmed hat over your elmet if the sun is very harsh. Use a good cleanser 2-3 times a day and moisturize your skin at bedtime. It would be a good idea to use a non hydroquinone whitening cream at night to keep pigmentation at bay.
