hey...i need some help with my skin. i have really dark skin. i dont think i do because when i look in the mirror and i see a light person. lol but people tell me i am DARK lyke chocolate. soo is there any cream or soap or SOEMTHING any thing at all i can do to be lighter. i do some times spend time in the sun and the cream i current use has vitamin b3 and natrual milk protien so is that good or what should i use... thanks a bunch
I don't think that you should try to change the appearance of your skin. GOing from light to dark is a bit easier because you can simply submit your skin to ultraviolet rays and incease the amount of melanin being produced which will lead to darker skin. THis, of course, has detrimental health effects. There are safeer products such as soy-based dyes that work termporarily for darkening the skin. Unfortunately, for lightening the skin there are no great methods but there are some that will leave your skin permanently lighter. Look at Michael Jackson. He has permanently changed the color of his skin through bleaching. I would try less exposure to the sun for starters and then find someone who loves your skin color and spend more time with them.

I suggests you should go see a dermatologists first. I've used papaya soap before but not long enough to actually see the result. Papaya soap is very popular in the Philippines, it must work! In fact, I'm trying it again to see if it actually works. I live in Mira Mesa that's in San Diego, CA and you can buy this at any Asian store. I don't know if they have one there in Garden Grove but I'm pretty sure they do. Just ask the cashier lady about it and they will tell you. Good Luck!
garden grove is like ASIAN CITY... we got a LOt of asian stores. i still havnt found papya soap tho. i also have trouble finding a good doctor. i keep changing becuase they ALL turn out to be weridos. thanks for the help tho. i currently use "fair and lovley" cream. i think it works. i should have taken a pix before and after affects. i dont reall use it like the box says soo. i am also in the sun EVERY day
You should really ask a skin specialist, because many bleaching creams contain forbidden substances (even when it is not on the bottle), even mercury, that can leave you with darker and lighter areas on your skin, that no dermatologist can ever take away.
Look, I am very light skinned and al of my life people have been telling me to go in the sun to get a tan (which I do not get). Finally I have stopped trying and now enjoy my light skin like it is and cultivate it. I do not go into the sun and that does make a difference.
If your skin is naturally darker, staying away from the sun will not make you snowwhite, but it will have you look in the summer, as you look in the winter.
I really reccomand not using any creams that are made in third world countries, because of hidden harmful substances. There is too little control.
