To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.
