Help on staying pale in the summer?

I’m half Italian, so I tan very easily, but I don’t really want the sun on my face because it can cause your pores to get larger due to damaged skin (so I’ve read). Well, my arms are getting tan because I wear short sleeves. It’s too hot to wear long sleeves. So my arms are getting tan while my neck and face isn’t 😭 How can I stay pale but still enjoy the outside? I’ve heard you can still tan with sunscreen.
