I am a athlete I use to play in the field 6 hours daily whenever I used to go out in the field my skin tone gets darker I used to apply sunscreen but it doesn't work. Is there any cream which help me when I was playing outdoor and after playing to repair or regain the natural colour of skin.

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.
