Hi,bhanu,thanks for query.Sun screen lotion can not make you more tan.Use any sunscreen lotion with a SPF of more 15,that is suitable for our skin conditions.Take good diet rich in vitamines and minerals,more of fruits and vegetables and salada will help with this.Fairness creams are available in market,but there efficacy is doubtful.If yu are so much concerned please consult a dermatologist for this.
wishing you good health.
