I am an African American female. During the summer, I was outside a lot watching my nieces and nephew in the heat of the day, which resulted in my skin becoming darker, very dark! I used to be a med-light tan color now I am a real dark caramel color! :eek: I had planned on whitening my skin, but then summer came and that went out the window-the sun, it was too much. And I don't want to be dark! The older I get, I've noticed the darker my hair, skin, and eyes become. My hair use to be aubrun-like now it's a reddish brown, my eyes use to be a greenish color now they are more amber like, and now my skin! I can reluctantly accept the darkening of my hair and eyes, but my skin, no! Seriously, it would be greatly appriciated if you all helped me!:o And if any of you know how long it would take me to lighten my skin color, if I wanted to be 4-5 shades lighter. Also, please only give me recommendations of pills or soaps, and if you have used them, and what your results were.

Thank you :)

I have had pigmentation problems with my skin ever since my last pregnancy. I don't have dark skin though. But I have tried almost everything! Creams, pills,lemon ,special treatments. Reading and believing in expensive or inexpensive products always cost me money and results which faded after discontinuing the product, or even little or no difference. Last time I ordered EXTREME WHITE LIGHTENER CREAM with hydoquinone 2%,
Which is advertised in this site,its been a month and I haven't received it yet!!
What I recommend is thatnext time use high sunblock and never never go out in the sun without it.find a facial brightener [lumedia cream and its serum from shephora is good for me] and stick with it 2-3times a day. This will maintain your skin as light as possible.
Although I still hope in something with permanent and better results
Hope this helps till then

Chamomile is an excellent skin lightener. You can use the dried herb (available at most health food stores in bulk) and make a tea out of it, using the tea as a wash over the whole skin. You can also make a brew in your bath tub and soak in it a few times a week.

Try rubbing some lemon on your face and mix honey if your skin is sensitive to lemon. It really lightens skin.

I'm using beauoxi white plus glutathione and angel night whitening cream for 4 months and I love the results to my skin. My skin is radiant, noticeably lighter and my pimples were gone. I have tried other glutathione brands and I could say I wasted time and money.

My problem is my groin area , its still darker compared to my skin though my groin is lighter now, I want it to be whiter fast. Its summer hahahah. I just bought amazing herbs cream. I hope it'll work
