HUH nice and funny reply. Getting a little fairskin from these things and maintaining it life long.

I love the natural way too and by natural I mean, available at the drugstore.

Things to use:

Multivitamin + vita c w/ rose hips (500 mg)
Soy lotions (ex, aveeno pos radiant, ambi... )
Niacinamide lotions (ex, oil of olay quench)
Alpha hydroxy lotions (kiss my face peaches & cream 8% aha lotion)
Glucosamine complex (olay definity (also has niacinamide))
Glycolic acid 10% toner
Body scrub
Spf

Some people use papaya soap, but I recommend using freeman pineapple enzyme mask, which has papain, bromelaine (pineapple enzyme), glycolic acid, lactic acid. Use it as much as is comfortable for your skin. But whatever works for you.

OK, so let me explain.

Moisturize even if you use lightening agents. Soy and niacinamide are proven skin lighteners. Moisturize more than once a day, 2-3. when you get home from work and @ night.

Use spf (everyone on this board knows, LOL) I recommend aveeno positively radiant spf moisturizer. Also, reapply during the day!! Every couple of hours or so.

The aha is for your face and I use it before I use my aveeno spf in the morning and my olay definity @ night. I hear some people use it on their body and they sell an aha body lotion.

Body scrubs, I use them every day honestly, and I see no ill effects.

You should still use lightening lotions if you want things to go quickly. Lol. I recommend kojic. I got mine from rite aid. Use all natural ones like arbutin and stay away from hq, and anything with mono and benz in the name.

Using these will give you results, BUT USING THESE WITH A SKIN LIGHTENER WILL GIVE YOU ULTRA RESULTS.

By the way... you can buy all this stuff @ drugstore dot com. $50 free shipping. Woot.
