Bad idea: Please try to be happy with your natural skin color -- the era of judging folks by this is thankfully ending -- and avoid sunlight / use sunblock to avoid further darkening. Long-term use of skin lighteners is likely to lead to your becoming seriously and permanently disfigured, and few people like seeing someone do this.
