If you are talking about a tan, UV rays from the sun are what makes your skin darker. If you do not apply sun blockthe skin will just burn, and turn red when exposed to the UV rays for too long. Apply sun screen, or a sun tan lotionthat will help protect your skin from the harmful rays, and encourage your skin to get a radiant tan naturally. UV rays are not used in self-tan products.

Then again, if it is something that truly bothers you, I suggest that it would be easier to tan the rest of your body than to pale your package.
