Well, if you don't really care whether you get dark or not but you just want sunscreen, get SPF 45 or something. But if you care about being tanned, get SPF 100000 or somthing. If you get sunsceen because you go swimming, normal sunscreen isn't good enough, get water proof ones, and you can also get sunscreen lip balm water proof too. (Water proof means sweat proof and other liquied proof.)

Use aloe vera gel and stay out of the sun. It'll take a few days if it is a severe sunburn.

Use sunscreen everyday, with at least an spf of 15. Or use mederma or a prescription creme that containes hydroquonine. Both bleach dark spots, but you need to use sunscreen so that the spots don't get darker.

I have to be careful with sunscreen too; it can irritate my skin.  I'm going to make the suggestions I'm sure you've already tried.  Try PABA-free baby sunscreen.. and also look at the active ingredients listed on the label.  You might be able to find one particular kind of sunblock (like zinc oxide) that will work.  If all this fails, go to your doctor - he/she might be able to help or refer you to a dermatologist.

Research shows that above spf 35 there isn't that much difference in the protection.  They key to using sunscreen is to use a higher spf, apply liberally, and repeat every couple hours.  Waterproof does not mean swim proof, it just means the water won't break down the formula, but it can still be mechanicially washed off with activity.  SPF applies only to UVB radiation, which primarily causes sunburn, but you will also want protection from UVA, which will be included in any sunscreen with a 15+ spf.\n\nDon't forget to stay in the shade when possible, wear sunglasses, a hat, and clothing when not swimming.  All of these can be effortless and promote healthy skin for life.

The best skin comes from good care of your body both internally and externally.  Internally- the most important thing for your skin is the amount of water it gets. You should drink a lot of water, given that your body is almost all water. Imagine your skin as the flower that you present to the world and you are it's vase. Take away the water and the flower wilts and wrinkles and looks bad very quickly, just like your skin. Externally, there is the daily regimen that is very simple that usually works to keep skin healthy and clear:\n\nThere are basic steps that you do in the morning and at night:\n\nIn the morning:\nwash your face, with a mild soap designed for your face. harsh soaps wash away the healthy natural oils your skin produces. There are plenty of products that do this, depending on your taste. Personally, I like oil of olay classic foaming face wash. Or, dove or neutregina face soap bars. \n\nSecond, apply a mild toner. Toner helps reduce the size of your pores. It makes your skin appear better, because the texture of it looks finer. \n\nThirdly, and perhaps most importantly!!! SUNBLOCK!!! Don't walk out of the house without at least an SPF 15 moisturizer. The sun is very damaging to the skin. Asian women have known this for centuries. Keeping out of the sun is essential for preventing wrinkles. This application of sunblock and moisturizer- is the foundation for your skin care. Allow it to dry then apply your makeup (or if you don't wear any, your skin is still protected)\nMy favorite is again- oil of olay daily moisturizer with spf 15 and vitamin e.\n\nRegimen at night:\n1)remove all your make-up with a product specifically for this. Makeup dosn't come off all the way with just soap. If you use foundation, especially, invest in a makeup remover. If you use water proof mascara-it's the same thing. My favorite for this- is Ponds cream clenser. \n2)Wash your face with a nicely scrubbing product. It will scrub and clean away all of the stuff that gets on your face throughout the day. --Don't think there is anything? Don't you have to dust your house every week because there is a visible layer of junk(in the form of dust) on the furniture? This same thing happens every day to your skin to a degree. There are again many products available, but what you want it to do is gently exfoliate(exfoliate= remove the rough layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin) the skin of your face (or your entire body). My favorite for this is St. Ives apricot scrub. There is one for sensitive skin as well. \nThen, you pat your skin dry (never rub it with the towel!) and apply your night cream or lotion. Unlike the movies, it dosn't look like a big layer of green icing on your face. Chose a nice moisturizing cream or lotion that is specifically for night time use. Your body rejuvinates and heals mostly when you are sleeping-so applying lotion at night is highly effective.\n\nSO- That's it! if you have pimples, or excessively oily skin- dab your face with the neutregina little rice papers throughout the day to remove the excess oil.  Good luck!

Try to avoid the sun for a while. And when you do go out into sunlight, use an  high SPF sunscreen. Show the pigmentation to a doctor, and show any new pigmentations to doctor as well, you could get skin cancer.

On my face, I use Eucerin clear-skin moisturizer with SPF 15.  I don't think the sunblock blocks the moisturizer; I've found the moisturizer works really well and unlike most other moisturizers with sunblock (even ones that advertise as being non-comedogenic or specifically for faces), which make me break out.  This one is not too expensive and you can get it at pharmacies if you don't find it elsewhere because it's approved by dermatologists.

First of all keep you arms covered when outside or use sun screen all year round.\nIf you do this the skin will naturally lighten on it's own. But there are a number of skin lighteners on the market available at your drug store or cosmetic counter.

first try using a sports sunscreen, its designed for sweat and wetness. use a very high spf, 30 or 45. and last, the tan will fade naturally. there is no way to lighten your skin with natural creams ...
