Sun protection!: The best way to lighten skin tone uniformly and with no side effects (benefits actually) is to practice safe sun habits ( wearing and reapplying sunscreen, avoiding 10-2 sun, etc.

Avoid sun/tanning: Do you mean you want to keep it whiter? Pale could mean anemia/not healthy appearing skin. Whiter skin is different and the safest way is avoid the sun/tanning, but then you will need vitamin d supplement. Localized areas of darker skin may be bleached out slowly with topical such as lustra, but will redarken with sun exposure. Consult doc. Good luck.
