unfortunately you can't avoid tanning, it's in your genes - the skin must protect itself from excessive exposure to sunlight. But you can help reduce the tanning to the minimum.
* as stupid as this advice sounds - it 100% will help - don't stay in the sunlight very much !
* don't wear dark coloured clothes - black and dark colours attract the sunlight, while white and similar colours reject it. It's important because you get tanned while you are dressed too - it's been scientifically proved. Besides, natural fabrics stop the sunlight several times more than sintetic ones - so i'd suggest wearing as many white cotton clothes as you can.
* if you can't avoid tanning, you can get rid of the tan regularly. Use scrub once a week - it's double useful - it will lighten your skin and make it softer too !
* besides, i don't see why you make such a problem of it - most people look younger, fresher and happier when they are tanned. I bet you don't make an exception !
Good luck anyway, i hope this helps at least a little !

that is true. the high level sunscreen does work - u just need to know to reapply every few hours. wear light coloured and clothes that cover u in a lgiht material so u don't get overheated in summer. use a large hat. drink lots of water

SAME HERE! Except I get lighter by not going out. Well, I rarely go out. I mostly stay home except for school or shopping indoors.
Try asking a doctor. A skin doctor, perhaps?

stay out of the sun light as much as possible, stay indoors and find something to do inside. usually in the winter months people tend to lighten up.
