Ok first of all, you have to understand what you can achieve. Your skin has a certain level of melanin which is what gives it its natural colour. This colour darkens (tanning) when you go out in the sun. You can lessen this darkening, but you cannot lighten your skin beyond its natural level of melanin. So if you're naturally brown or wheatish, you can only achieve that, but you can't go milky white. And anyway, what's important is having a clear complexion, not the colour of your skin.

Some home remedies for reducing tan and lightening the skin include: curds, almond oil, lemon juice, tomato pulp. You can also mix powders like tumeric, neem powder, besan (chickpea flour) with any one of the juices (or all of them) and make a mask. As I have dry skin, I first rub in almond oil on my face...it keeps the mask from drying my skin out too much. Then I apply a mixture of a few of these ingredients and leave it on for at least 10 min before washing it off.

What you can also do is rub the fresh juices (tomato, lemon) or curds on your face after you come home (from work/school whtever). It immediately starts to counter whatever tan you got during the day. You can do this daily, and maybe use a complete mask twice or thrice, or however's convenient for you.

But remember that these are just external remedies. For a glowing complexion, you have to have a balanced diet (plenty of veggies, fresh fruit) and drink loads of water daily. Regular exercise and at least 7 hours of sleep also help.

to have a good complexion and fair skin tone, apply chandan or lemon on your face.
