How can I lighten my olive skin?

Whoa, let's take a step back...Don't try to lighten your skin. I grew up in an all german community and my father always told me we were german but i had olive skin and brown eyes and dark hair. it made me feel like i didnt fit in, so i wanted to be white like everyone else. Then i found out we were italian on my father's side and grew to appreciate our culture and history. Olive skin is beautiful and you'll look better if you let your skin tan naturally. Instead go for some darker colors or if you want a punk look blue/purple go well with olive skin.

Stay in doors. I've unintentionally lightened mine while hiding out in the bat cave for the past few years or so. You could also take up swimming indoors, and then avoid too much sunlight (obviously). The safe balance of bleach and water just might lighten you a few shades.

Obviously, you won't get completely white, and it'll return quickly and easily, but you may be able to tone it down a bit.
