It is not possible to change a dark skin to white skin. Color of the skin depends on the presence of Melanin and also depends on Heredity and Gene. 

Still, intake of certain fruits and vegetables and following a certain skin whitening home remedies will give significant results.  

1. Fruits like papaya, orange, tomato, carrot will make the skin clear.

2. Have a glass of fresh Tomato juice without sugar during breakfast everyday. 

3. Carrot juice also helps(without sugar) . It is also good during dieting. 

3. Add plenty of oranges, lemon juice to daily intake as it cleanses the body. Skin will become clear and blemishes free.

Here are some home made tips to have a even, glowing, blemishes free and bright skin tone:

1. Mint leaves are good to reduce marks and scars. Apply a paste of freshly ground mint leaves on face and neck. Wash off after dry. Can add few drops of lemon juice to this paste. We can also ix tis in Multani Metti and apply for hands and feet to have a even tone. It is a good brightening agent for quicker results on regular usage.

2. Green Gram flour mixed in Lemon juice is ideal for Oily skin. As Lemon is a good bleaching agent it reduces tan and improves skin color.

3. Freshly ground turmeric mixed in whole milk gives glow and color to skin. Apply in face and wash off after dry. Can be used daily and for whole body too.

Whenever something is applied for face to reduce Wrinkles its important not to move the facial muscles and these packs hold the skin tight. 

1. To reduce Wrinkles on the face, apply a mixture of sandalwood powder, rosewater and glycerin. Wash with cold water after some time.

2. Smash a banana and add a little honey. Apply on face and neck and wash off with cold water after 15mts. Use this 2 to 3 times a week for better results.

This is quite old custom but very good for skin. Usually  pure Coconut oil or Till oil is used. Gently warm the oil and apply on your body massage upwards leave it for 30mts and wash off with besan. Regular practice helps to retain the essential oil in the skin, makes it soft and silky and makes the skin glow

Skin Tan

Don't forget your sunscreen when stepping out in the sun. But before selecting the right brand for your skin consult a dermatologist and know about our skin type. 

People with normal skin can go for a sunscreen lotion whereas people with oil and combination skin type can go for a water based sunscreen. 

Most of them leave their skin unattended when they are indoor but it is important to apply a light moisturizer to the exposed areas.

ok, now how to remove the tanning using simple but effective methods?

Reducing Skin Tan:

Here are some remedies to remove tan from face, hands and feet. I have tried myself these tips and found it very effective.

1.  Beat egg white add a little honey and apply it on  face as a thin layer (avoid around the eyes). Don't try to move your facial muscles ( i.e., don't talk or laugh) as it holds the skin tight. Wash after 20mts with cold water and then with besan ( if u need). This gently removes tan and also reduce wrinkles. 

2. Mix besan with curd and apply a thin layer on face, hands and feet. Wash it when it dries. Curd is very good to remove tan. You can even do this daily before bath to have a even tone of skin color. If you have oily or combination skin add juice from half lemon to the mixture. 

3.Mix milk with little turmeric, apply and leave for 20mts . Scrub it in circular motion gently and wash off. This also reduces the growth of facial hair. 

4. As we know lemon is a natural bleach. But apply it in right way to avoid allergies. Mix lemon, glycerine and rose water in 2:1:1 ratio and apply. Wash off when it dries. Its better to prepare the mixture fresh every time. 

5.Tomato pulp mixed with curd also removes tan quickly. 

6. Mix Tea water with Multhani Metti and apply it on hands and feet. Leave it to dry and wash off with cold water. ( heard this is very effective to remove excess tan usually from hands and feet. I haven't tried this but got this tip from my beautician friend)
