Skin Tone Dark Due To Cricket Career. How To Regain Complexion ?

Hello, I am 29 and was a cricketer for 8 years. My body exposed to sun so badly and I was not aware of any skin protection creams at that time. After giving up my cricket career 2 years ago, now I am working in a banking sector. My skin tone is not that dark in nature but due to heavy sun exposure all these years, the exposed parts (face and fore arms) turned more darker than the rest of my body (visible change in complexion). As per my knowledge I started using AHA Glow face wash and Garnier white complete multi-action fairness cream (both day/night creams). Are there any better ways to retain my natural skin complexion? Can I use any skin peeling creams at night? Please suggest me a suitable regimen for me. I am badly in need of your advice.
