1. Avoid further sun exposure by using sunscreen, wearing hats, and covering up with long-sleeved clothing. 2. Keep the skin hydrated with moisturizers and avoid using irritating skincare products. 3. Consider using whitening products containing vitamin C, arbutin, or similar ingredients to promote melanin metabolism. 4. If skin darkening after sunburn is severe, consult a doctor for guidance on using medications that may aid skin recovery, such as vitamin E cream or asiaticoside cream.
