About two years ago I started using Palmers skin success cream on my face as a way to get rid of acne and clear up my face in general. What I didn't know was that it can actually make your face lighter if used too much. I found out too late and since I have been using Palmers Skin Success products as a way to lighten my whole body and give it an even tone. It worked for awhile, then I stopped using it because I didn't want to get too light. Since I've stopped using it my skin is a strange brownish color.

Actually in the sun or under bright lights my skin looks a light brown color and looks very healthy, however during the winter and when there is not much light it has a strange brownish color to it. Im tired of using hydroquinone based products as I want to be able to go out in the sun and not worry about my skin turning an old off brownish color.
So, my question is any of you know of a way to lighten skin without using hydroquinone or other chemicals. I would like to have the skin tone of Nelly(man)

Get off the delusion!

Palmers may be a big brand, but there are many of its line of products that have steroids in them to help lighten skin. Besides steroids do get rid of some stretch marks.

Who told you Palmers contains no harsh chemicals?

If you want to lighten wihtout chemicals,

!) Get a night job. Forget letting the sun even touch you ever!
2) Apply retin a while on work at night.
3) Drink loads of milk and carrot and beetroot juice in this time.

You will lighten in about a year. Promise! I lightened several shades when I worked in a night job call center and this was something that did the job for me. I wasn't even intending to get lighter then but didn't realise that my lack of going out in the daytime ( unlike other friends I never could deprive myself of sleep and wakeup in the morning) and I did.


NOTE: You have to use a lightening agent to significantly lighten in this period. Otherwise everyone working at nights would be stark white lol

Great thread... I was wondering how I could achieve whole body lightening. I'm looking for something that will work faster than a year though.

What I said is that I'm looking for a skin lightening product that doesn't have hydroquinone and Palmers does have it(when its sold in the US)..
When I said other harsh chemicals I was referring to monobenzone or that other one that starts with a B.. beno something of that sort..

I'm no longer living where ill be able to stay out of the sun as much as I want, so working at night is not an option..

The question was if there is anyway effective skin lightening methods without chemicals that change colors when hit by the sun like hydroquinone
