To avoid getting dark, getting wrinkles and skin cancer, you can start using Sunblock (US FDA stated a couple of years ago that anything that's above SPF 30 is NOT effective anymore)
For getting rid of your tanned complexion/tan lines, you can use the following:
1. Virgin Coconut Oil - you can use this as your moisturizer every NIGHT before you go to bed since this will get rid of your dark skin cells and will eventually lighten your skin tone. Do NOT use this during morning unless you want to get tanned.
2. Kojic Soap/Cream- This one gently peels your skin (it's micropeeling, so don't worry about walking around like a zombie) and this can actually lighten your complexion/dark spots. Aside from giving you a whiten complexion in just 1 week's time, it can get rid of blackheads, minimize your pore size, lighten your pimple marks, and dry up your zits.
3. Gluthatione - Any brand will do. It is an antioxidant especially prescribed by doctors/dermatologists (especially if you're a smoker) that has a side effect of ligthening your skin tone, giving you a healthier skin, and making you look younger. If you are going to use this as a skin whitener/lightener, you don't have to worry about being "too white" since once you've achieved your maximum level of whiteness (realistically speaking), it will just maintain your skin complexion.
4. Ask your derma for a skin peeling -diamond peel, glycolic peel, etc.
5. Exfoliate with the use of a loofah when taking a bath, or at least a good brand of body scrub (2-3x a week). Just like VCO, this will get rid of your dark skin cells and this can help you in whitening/lightening your complexion.

A tan will only last 7 to 9 days.

is it a spray on tan? if it is, you can gently scrub streaks away with peroxide and a pumice stone. whitening toothpaste also works for small areas. if you have been tanning in a tanning bed, then just stop going. if you get tan from just being out in the sun a lot, try hats and plenty of sunscreen.

if you use a tanning bed stop going & it'll fade in about a week, if you're talking about a spray tan use a good exfoliater or white vinager
