Use a good quality SUN PROTECTION FORMULA. Of at least SPF 20. Keep reapplying it after every 2 hours because they last no more than that. Keep yourself hydrated. And try wearing cotton clothes with full sleeves, they are keep you cool plus full sleeves will prevent tanning, this helps me a lot. Do not use greasy moisturizers before going out as they cause further tanning when in sun. Applying ice on the face once in a week washes down the tan up to a great extent. Washing face every time you come from outside prevents pigmentation and removes the tan. Basic idea is to keep the skin clean.
