How to get glowing skin all over?

Well I tan super easily, now that I'm actually a bit darker than I want to be, how do I get a bit lighter? I wasn't born with dark skin. And if that's not possible, how can you get really luminous, glowing skin naturally? I don't wanna use a cream or something, just want some home remedies that DON'T involve lemons/limes. Thanks in Advance!
