Sorry but you're pretty much stuck with the skin color you're in for the rest of your life. The effective skin lightening creams work only temporarily. When you visit a dermatologist, they'd tell you the same thing too. There're no permanent skin whitening products in the market. Even after using skin lightening products and noticing a bit of lightening, your color will return to its original tone everytime it gets exposed to sunlight. The most effective way is by using sun block and you have to be VERY consistant. A dermatologist said that if you consistently put on sunscreen for 2 months but forgot to put it on one day while your out in the sun, the complete effects are reversed and you'd get your original color back. That's how consistant you have to be if you want to lighten your skin tone. Then again, putting on chemicals like sunscreen very consistently is also harmful.
Best you can do is use wear clothes to protect your body from the sunlight and a cap.
Also, if you have to use any skin lightening products, the most effective ingredient is hydroquinone. Unfortunately, this ingredient is carcinogenous, meaning it's cancer causing. So avoid it if you can.

So did you even have a question? First off, they're not trying to bleach themselves in an attempt to mock any particular race, they merely believe that fairness is associated with beauty and are just yearning for their own personal satisfaction. It's similar to women of Western civilizations who try to tan in order to achieve a sun kissed glow, their idea of beauty. To make such a broad and rude generalization about a certain group of people is simply wrong, especially when you haven't gathered all the facts. Please try to be open and accepting of new ideas instead of using ignorance to fuel hatred towards others.

Use this homemade face pack for one week you will find a difference. Make a face pack consisting of cucumber juice, lemon juice and some rose water. To remove tan make a paste using Haldi (Turmeric) with a little raw (unboiled) milk and lemon juice. Apply it on the skin; it will help in removing a tan.

Over the counter whitening creams can cause hyper - or hypo- pigmentation problems.
There's really no safe prescription medication to alter pigmentation either. (i.e. all have side effects)
The best thing to do is to wear sunscreen everyday & clothing impregnated w/ SPF. ex) Solumbra @ http://www.sunprecautions.com/
