I have been trying to whiten my skin for around 2 years. My body has had minimal exposure to sunlight (and some places none at all), but instead of paling, my skin has become clearer. :confused:
I can see the arteries on my hands sharply, slightly on my arms and legs, and even faintly around my face/neck. There is also a general redness from the blood around said areas from blood. The rest is an almost yellowed color. Yuck.
I still really want whiter skin, but I fear that using skin whitening creams would make the skin even more see-through.
Would the creams make skin more see-through, or color the skin white over?

Seeing your arteries or veins is not a good sign! :eek: It means that your skin is thinning, I would recommend you gradually slow down with whatever cream you're using and focus on getting back some plump thick skin again!
May I recommend getting Retin A and vitamin C & E supplements to increase your collagen level?
Also, I read that drinking teas help rebuilding elastic and collagen so maybe you can try that too.

Good luck! Hope I helped...

Dragon I think your getting VARICOSE VEINS which is not troublesome but not a very good thing to get...

You veins start jutting out more... and usually it happens to people who become tooo pale, genetic or a professional hazard..

I have white looking Indian relatives... who have varicose veins on their legs..

My sister is light on the body and dark on the face.. her legs are getting varicose veins as she is an air stewardess and apparently they get varicose trouble over the years because of the flying...

Nothing much you can do but put on some weight , do some yoga which relaxes the veins.. if your short tempered control your emotions as this tenses nerves and the condition begins getting worse...

Im not sure I have diagnosed what you have but it hink hwat your getting is VARICOSE VEINS

No Offense but why would you want to whiten your skin?
I think that's so stupid
I have a peach complexion and Im Hispanic

Nothing WRONG WITH THAT
