How To Ensure Even Skin Tone?

I see that the color of the skin on my chest and other 'lesser-sun-exposed-areas' are more fair than my face and my hands. How do I make my hands and my face of the same color as those areas? Is using sunscreen over a long period of time, eating fruits, etc the only way?
