    I think some stars are obiviously doing something to their skins. To me Rihanna has gotten lighter some kind of way. You know what, I think that they are using something that us, common people, don't know about. Well, I have seen your pictures and have to know what you are using... I would love to lighten up like you did. If you want, you can pm me or just type it on the board. Please don't be afraid to let you experience out because I will tell you what I went though that works also. Looking forward to your email/pm.

    I know little kim bleaches but I don't think beyonce or rihanna bleach. Their skin is naturally light and I think just looks darker when they get a tan. Also when the celebs get under bright lights and have makeup on it makes their skin look much lighter.

    Actually rihanna was always a light-skinned,
    Check out this picture of her from when she was 10 years old-->
    Ultimate Rihanna @ RihannaDaily.com/Gallery - Passport from age of ten/002

    And beyonce has always been light as well because she got it from her mom,who is also really light to begin with.

    Lil'kim looks like a chinese porcelain doll and her skin looks patchy & rough. She looks awful.

    Exactly, those girls are always on the beach anyway. Especially Rihanna when she goes back to her home/family in Barbados.

    Skin treatments (peels, clarifying, etc), lighting, and makeup can all contribute to the way their skin looks.

    But are Beyonce and Rihanna "skin bleaching"? I highly doubt it. No, I don't believe that at all.

    BUT, is little Kim? Obviously. She admits it herself. And it's painfully obvious.

    Is this wrong?

    No!

    Actually no. JLo and JAlba do not lighten their skin at all. It's a matter of tanning and not tanning. JLo once said that she likes it better when she's tan because her cellulite isn't as visible. And as for JAlba she prefers to be tanned because it makes her more sculpted and firm and just overall makes her look healthy... lately though since she been pregnant I'm guessing she has not done it in awhile.

    JLo has naturally white skin, she does not lighten at all. If anything she probably uses a lot of bronzers.

    Not yet because the dark spots on my body are not that bad and the soap seems to do the trick so I have not yet tried it,but I hear it's good from the gluta-c cream thread.

    Ok I'm going to be blunt here and say those little snip bits of your pics could have very well been little snip bits of other random pictures from the internet. You've only shown parts of your face in all the pictures that makes a hard basis for before and after comparisons. I'm not convinced.

    My pictures are not from little "snip bits" of the internet. I wouldn't waste my time actually uploading all those pictures and posting them on here. I don't want my full pictures on here or anywhere on the internet (except Facebook lol)expecially on a site where I don't actually know anyone . Wouldn't be a very smart idea. My oppinon.

    But to *msmccook* I've been using hydroquinone 2% soap and cream for about 4 years not anything over 2% I think will proberly irratate your skin I would never go over 2%. A cream I recommand is Dr. Fred Summit Lightening cream :) works wonders also "du du osan" it's a african black herbal soap works good and makes your makeup go on smoother and your skin soft. :)

    Hydroquinone in any percentage is going to eventually darken your skin in the long run especially with exposure to the sun, it is also a harmful substance, everyone knows that, I didn't even know there were people who still used a product that contins it. If you haven't already seen it here's the list of lightening products that contain dangerous substances like hydroquinone, steroids, etc..

    I started using Hydroquinon as my cousin did (she went from a kelly roland complexion to a Beyoncé one)

    I think that it's the only way for us to get great results don't know about the soaps which one do you use ? (I'm in France so if you have some link on net it could be cool)

    :pI do a lot of research and I don't think that these celebs rely solely on external products as when you look at the tones they all got the same skin tone and its almost see through, if you know what I mean, so they definitely consuming something internally, although I'm 1/2 shade darker than gabrielle union , when I press or touch my skin it goes to like rihannas shade meaning that the pills I take reduce the pigment from inside, but because their rich they have the money to get all over body chemical peels and stuff, how else could they be lying in the sun 1 minute and be 2 shades lighter the next day, anyway that's my take on celebrity skin whitening, I prefer it this way as my whole body is evened out I just have keep my dosages up and stay protected form the sun with spf creams.

    The only celeb that has lightened their skin is Lil' Kim.

    Beyonce and Rihanna? Give me a break.

    They were both born light, they tan and use bronzers.

    What sense would it make to spend hundreds of dollars to lighten the skin, and then suntan on the beach all summer? Please.
