So, getting any expensive treatments would not be allowed to me By my parents, Please suggest something to Me Sir, I'll be highly thankful to you!

hi
Skin tanning in most cases resolves of is own....all that you need to do is to apply a sunscreen regularly over your face...you should prevent any further damage by sun by using a sunscreen everytime you move out in the sun.....Just wait for 2-3 weeks and if even after continued sunscreen use, you feel that the skin colour is not coming back to normal,,then you can use a lightening agent like hydroquinone once a day...but remember that such agents are used only during night time.....
Hope it helps
