I am currently in the color range number 26/27 on this chart File:Felix von Luschan Skin Color chart.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Felix_von_Luschan_Skin_Color_chart.svg)

I want to be 24/25

So that means I would not have to be DRASTIC about lightening right?
What do I use? It seems like Im just a blah brown. I have yellow and pink undertones which makes people mistake me for "light skin" but I want the brown to tone down some. The brown is really annoying me, especially in the legs, which are distinctly brown. I want golden brown to beige color.
Who has done this before?

Welcome Vanillawannabe. I like the chart. There are some lighteners that others are having success with on this board so feel free to read through the posts carefully. It's good to include a good sunblock spf 70 or higher at least 15-20 minutes before going out, exfoliating soap, skin lightener, an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or retin-a will also help speed up results, drink about 8 cups of water to helpr remove impurities, and a good multivitamin that also include vitamin C. This is only a few suggestions, stay away from products that include steroids or mercury.
