Skin lightner for African/African American/Black people??
Ok I am fairly new on this site and I am having a hard time figuring out what race is everyone. I am not trying to racist or anything. What works on other races doesn't work on black people and vice versa... With that being said...
Hi, Im Amina. I was a mid brown color. Before going to college I hardly went outside (overprotective mother needed to know where her children were at all time :rolleyes: ). So I did not know anything about sunscreen lotion. Now I am 4 shade darker than my usual color. Though I love my dark skin it just feels weird looking at pictures of my lighter skin vs now. I was wondering if anyone know of a product that works. I just want my mid brown skin color back.
Skin Lighter for African Americans
Amina, I would like to say I really agree with your comment about what works on some Black may not work on other Blacks. However, a few years ago I used a Tone Skin (Esoteria Cream/ night and day) product that may be purchased in Walgreens, RiteAid, or Walmart etc. The only advice I would say about using the product is you have to reduce the usage of the cream as you retrive the complexion you desire, which means you would need to reduce using the product to 1 once a week to every other week to once a month.
In regards to Ethnicity, I am Black. However, I perfer to be considered as an (Afro-West Indian American). See pics @ BLACKPEOPLEMEET.COM
And search for CHAYOTE23
I hope this is the right place to post this...
Hi All! I just wanted to say hello because I just found this sight. I belong to a few other online groups and you can alwys find some new info!
Anyway, I have just now placed an order for monobenzone (benoquin). I have seen it's effects on other boards, with documented photo proof. I will be taking pictures of various parts of my body from the beginning to the end of my journey. I will not be using it alone. One of the people that has used it an achieved great results has posted a "recipe" of sorts, mixing it with water and lotion.
Feel free to ask me any questions if I do not answer them when I post my results.
Oh, just to let you know, I have tried the Hypercreme Extratone B (on my body)and it did nothing for me. I used the Godiva fruit acid on my face and it did seem to help. I used that with the perfectcomplexion.net TCA/crystals blend. I am mixed race, so I am naturally a light caramel color. However, I live in Los Angeles and tan very easily (my father is VERY dark). I would just like to be my natural color from top to bottom.
