Tyrosine causes melanin production.. it can be found in milk.. cheese... eggs... and meat and... beans and some others.. are there any other foods that stimulate melanin?. Also I heard almond was another cause...

And almonds are brilliant for skin and hair.

Lol. If you stop eating these, then another source of information, stop eating carbohydrates because they are source of energy and that invigorates your melanin production.

In short, stop eating.

Common, Id suggest stop eating spicy foods and stick to cooling ones. Any food that cools down your body will automatically calm your overall sense of being and thereby your melanocytes also.

If yoghurt cools you down, id say its good for lightening.

Just because it contains tyrosine or whatever sine , does not mean you should stop.
Seriously !

Lol I was thinking of stopping eating meat,eggs and the others:P become a vegetarian lol but stay clear of bananas.. they cause melanin too:p

Lol atkins... haven't tried that diet... I'll stick with this one:p

Does anyone know any other food that can cause melanin production ? Or that can decrease it...

Green tea has helped with brightening my skin a little, I drink about 4 cups a day..

Yes, I prefer organic green tea as well due to it's antioxidant properties, along with other health benefits.

Does black tea contain arbutin?

I don't know why but I have to agree with you about tea causing darkening.

Coffee I am not sure. I have been a tea drinker all my life. And my family always says that we should refrain from having black tea as it causes darkening.

It may be a myth but its something that has been believed in my family since generations.

I am not saying age old myths are always true, but there could be some truth to it!

I could be wrong !

Are u serious... tea causes darkening :O... DAMN!

Lol... no scientific evidence.. its just an ancient saying amongst people of my community.

So chill :)

Green and black tea Yum
