ok, im not like midnight dark.
im in between black and white because i am both african and caucasian.
but my skin is still pretty tan/brown.
i want to whiten it just a bit.. not like michael jackson or anything.
and i want it to last.
any suggestions?
Try your local asian markets. They sell skin whitening soaps. They’re usually papaya-like soaps. I am currently using one called “Likas” from a Filipino market. It’s orange with a papaya on it. It works well. You have to keep using it though to maintain the lighter skin color. You would have to bleach your skin if you want it to be permanent.
I wouldn’t try a cream/lotion because it can ruin your gorgeous skin tone and make it uneven. there are skin lightening soaps so it can provide a nice even skin tone as well. There isn’t a really safe way to lighten your skin because alot of products work in splotches. High SPF sunblock is the safest to be honest, everything else is REALLY risky.
Perhaps ask a dermatologist?
If you are referring to a permanent lightening, there is no guarantee it would be safe for you, even if others had no complications. It’s not worth the risk. I’ll bet you’re nice looking just the way God made you.
I would suggest a certified dermatologist. No one can give you better advice than that.
I bet you skin is perfect as it is. I don’t think there is a safe way just love your skin tone
Be happy with who you are.
try to stay out of the sun… put on the highest spf sunscreen possible everyday. i don’t know of any product that can make your skin lighter…
First…you should be please with your color skin. Why change something that is your natural way to look? You can be lighter in skin but what about your body shape, it is going to fix with a lighter color skin?
Second… I heard that beta carotene is good to give a lighter tone to your skin.
There are alot of ‘bleaching’ creams that Indians and Asians use. So maybe go to your local ‘china’ town or health food shops and see if you can find any. As far as i know they are safe and most work pretty well.
Also, always put sunscreen on, every day.
Accept who you are. It’s beautiful.
Our skin ages less and remains smooth for years with proper care. I am 44 and look 30 years old.
My cousin tried to lighten her skin with Hydroquinon and it worked for a while but then one day her natural color returned with the exception of her upper lip. I’ll take being a pretty brown all over any day!
Stay out of the sun.
