Answer 1

The only way to become more fair is to lesson the time your skin is in contact with the sun. I am usually a fair brown, after being away from the sun, I get lighter. But I can also get very, very dark if I'm in the sun a lot. People do get lighter skin with age a lot of times because they aren't spending as much time in the sun... I live near the beach, so even with sunscreen, I still get dark every summer. =). So if you want to be more fair, don't go outdoors as much & if you do--cover up! If you go swimming, wear a long sleeve rash guard or swimsuit. And if you do have to go into the sun, wear SUNBLOCK (not sunscreen). A sunblock will block ALL rays and is stronger protection against the sun (especially if you want to be on track for becoming fairer).

Answer 2

slip, slop and slap. old ozzie rule. SLIP (on a shirt) Slop (on sun screen) and SLAP (on a hat). see? just cover up and use sun screen. you'll be fair again in no time. I live in South Africa where the sun's also really harsh, and I'm fair. If im in the sun I go brown, but after a few weeks of sun screen im back to being fair. But you have to be consistent. Why do you want to be fair tho? a tan (but not overboard) looks healthy

Answer 3

Stay out of the sun for a number of years, the pigment should eventually return to "normal".

Answer 4

people differ because of the thickness of your skin.
use sun screen, and lotions a lot and it should come back.

Answer 5

fading cream?
