I'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?

kindly consult dermatologist.
