I go swimming at 11 am. what can i apply on skin to avoid skin darkening since the exposed area of skin has become really dark?

Sunscreen : A mineral based sunscreen such as neutrogena pure & free spf50 or aveeno (oatmeal) mineralblock can help prevent sun damage which leads to the darkening of the skin. Apply and adequate amount and wear sun protective clothing and stay in the shade as much as possible.
