Sun spots are not a good sign. They're a sign of permanent skin damage from unnecessary exposure to the sun (or tanning bed). If you absolutely MUST tan though:
- stay hydrated with at least 8 glasses of water a day (spots are partly a sign you aren't taking in enough fluids)
- use a moisterizing cream with a little sun screen in it when you tan (tanning at a slower pace helps)
- take in a well balanced diet with plenty of anti-oxidants (foods rich in vitamin A and E which help protect the skin from damage).
Not sure if you can naturally reverse the appearance of spots without using chemical creams that sometimes do even more skin damage than they "fix" but follow the steps above and you might be able to avoid getting any more.
Best of luck.

You already know the answer - you have to stop tanning.
Please - check out the new self tanning lotions and sprays. They are incredible! I'm a model in Ontario, Canada and my agency forbids the use of tanning beds. The risks are just too high. Try the sprays instead - they last about 8 showers and won't give you cancer... or sunspots!

Selsum Blue or Aveeno Lotion

I've heard of like...skin bleach. It lightens dark spots or dark skin. Try looking it up on ebay under 'skin bleach'...or 'skin lightening'!
