    Plzzz... help me! This is very imp to me
    I'm 22 yrs and I have a really big problem with my dirty skin and I'm getting married next month! I have a tan complexion and my skin is much darker and dirty than my normal complexion. Maybe it is unfortunately due to carelessness from my youth. I take bath everyday and scrub really hard but I just can't get rid of it. Please help me. Please note that I can't afford expensive creams and laser treatments. How can I get rid of this problem??

    No amount of scrubbing will get rid of dark skin. It will just scrub off your top layers of skin and make your face more sensitive. If you don't want to spend too much, you can try Otentika products. Search Google for it. They come for like $10. The next cheapest I know of is Whiter Skin cream. After that, the rest of the products are usually $50+. I have heard of lemon juice workign to lighten skin, but I don't know how effective it is.

    Best thing would be to use a skin lightening cream along with proper moisturizer. You can also try something like Palmers Cocoa Butter Cream. Find a good moisturizing cream with Vitamin E and use it along with a skin lightening product.

    Depends on how much you want to spend. Otentika makes some skin lightening creams that are cheap. There are others that people say work a little better like Makari. Personally, Ive had good experience using a product called Whiter Skin. The Palmers Cocoa Butter is a skin smoothing product. Some people use it to fade away scars or stretch marks. It might work to smooth out those areas you want like your elbows.

    Don't forget about the bio clair that's like $7 for the body lotion and the same for the cream and les than $3 for the whitening soap. From bhbtrading.com I ordered mine on Friday, still waiting to receive it (did ground shipping), live in US. It also ships from US (from that website anyway, there are other sites that sell it for about $10
