be happy with what you have, changing your appearance in a photograph isn't going to change you now is it, enhance photos by all means, take out all your spots, warts and blemishes but keep you you. H

select your skin (pen tool, masking, selective color, etc. etc.) and you can go radical and use hue adjustments (if you want to join blue man group) but if you just want to lighten i would play with curves, fine tne with levels

I'm sorry to seem like the bad guy but you've posted 3 threads containing the same exact thing within the last day. If you havent learned anything in the first 2 then i don't think you will. 3rd time isnt always the charm. Anyways good luck.
