fruits, vegetables and water will make your skin glow, but not lighten it.. i've maintained my original fair color successfully now after several attempts on non-working products that promised to deliver results, whether homemade or branded.. believe me, your original skin tone wont come back if you just rely on time because people cant just stay indoors in order to live, study, work or enjoy.. life should go on, right?.. so here's what you can do:
use safe (no hydroquinone, mercury or steroids because these harm the skin after long term use) AND potent (unlike most commerical products that dont work or show little results) skin lighteners from a reputable source.. here's a good one -

wear a high spf (50 or better) sunscreen to protect from further darkening and sun damage.. sunscreens are a must whether you're in a skin lightening regimen or not.. it's your best defense to aging and wrinkling of skin..
continue eating healthy foods, plus an intake of at least 500 mg vit. C supplement t enhance your skin color and inhibit the production of melanin (brown pigments found in skin)..
that's your best bet.. i've done it.

Avoid excess sun.
Too little sun is not good, so do not avoid it completely, as this will make your skin hyper sensitive.
There are no topical products that remove tans safely.
Do not use bleach!
Most acidic fruits will not harm your skin, but they will not lighten it either.
Proper hydration is definitely good for general health and the condition of skin. However, drinking copious amounts of water taxes kidneys and is not good for anything. It certainly will not lighten skin.
The natural tanning agent in the skin is called melanin. It is the skin's defense against UV radiation. It will not go away until you successfully avoid UV radiation for a period of time.
Time is the answer. Don't try to accelerate the body's natural responses. You will likely exacerbate problems.
Nature is wise. Listen to her.
Be patient, or you might end up as a doctor's patient!

Most of what you can try won't work.
Paint might but I'm not sure that's such a good idea, you might also look into whatever Michael Jackson used but that might also not be the best idea around.
Or just live with what you've got.

i think you should try wearing total sunblock every day, even on cloudy days. that way your skin will not get any tan at all.
also, you may want to try speeding things up by using a whitening moisturizer designed for lightening skin pigmentation. not sure, but it could work
