Does skin lightening methods work on naturally fair skin?

Why would anyone want to be lighter then 'fair skin', unless that person is dead, then it would have that effect.

Tick

Most people with fair skin only need to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and wear sunscreen if they want to stay pale.

Are you trying to be paler than you already are? Or are you just curious?

I know several people who are naturally fair toned but who want to use lightening methods for various reasons. Such as from assisting with correcting minor things such as clearing freckles, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation. To those who want that Dita Von Teese flawless old hollywood look. The crowd is complex anddiverse who want to achieve different aspects and goals for themselves. regardless if it is having a fairer complexion, a golden complexion, or just correcting simple hyperpigmented flaws.

XXxEmOxXxPrInCeSsxXx what exaclty are you looking to achieve exactly?

I want my skin lighter, and to possibly get rid of my freckles.

I am currently like the first picture, but I used to be much lighter, as shown in the second

I want my skin to be as light as it was last summer, the second picture.

Here is an example of my skin tone for the rest of me

There are simple methods of lightening your freckles or skin to what it was previously. For example to help fade freckles (ephelides) you can use retinoids such as retin-a or the generic version tretinoin (vitamin A acid). Also dermabrasion, AHA peels such as lactic or glycolic, and patience. I prefer the lactic acid since it helps lighten naturally, is gentle, and moisturizing.

In addition to this, using simple natural lightening methods consisting of organic yogurt (contains lactic acid), lemon juice, tumeric, papaya (contains papain which lightens naturally), and parsely are among the few ingredients to use. But to protect your skin and help prevent some of the tanning, you'll need to use a sunblock that protects against UVA and UVB rays with at least spf 30 (although I prefer spf 55+). Even hats like a farmer's hat or strw hat for example to help give you additional shade and sun protection.

Am I supposed to eat it or put it on my skin?

How long will this take?

And thank you

Apply it topically to your skin.
Also, another option is a good quality vitamin C serum which help to exfoliate, fade, and gives the skin a natural glow. These are mild methods of fading sun tans, freckles, acne marks, and sun damage from the skin. You can also simply opt to use lactic acid peels in low to medium strengths as well, as another option. But always moisturize with a facial moisturizer afterwords whatever you choose to use. Or you can choose to use a skin lightener, I have been using fair &white exclusive whitenizer which has helped fade my acne marks and skin tone over all.

Which is the cheapest of them all to do?

Thank you for your help

Recipes for tan and freckle fading:
How to remove or fade freckles naturally | eHow.com
Methods of How To Easily Lighten Freckles & Tans
How to Remove Freckles | eHow.com

Cheapest would possibly be ingredients from the grocery store. Fair & white exclusive gel cost me about $10 +tax, or nadinola around $6 from walmart.

Thank you for all your help!

Since you are already white and want to be whiter, then maybe you can use benoquin aka monobenzone. I know someone who was into the vampire thing and they were using it. But keep in mind, it will make you like Michael Jackson. And it will not look weird since you are already pale.

I don't think flawless skin is necessarily white skin. It may have been Hollywood old perspective of it, and almost still (smiles), but your skin can be flawless in so many other shades. I know you're not saying that, but just wanted to clear that up for people that may have thought that.

No problem because that is a personal decision. I just felt the need to mention that because it sounded like "Hollywood's old flawless pale skin", or however worded, was just the only way to be considered flawless. :)
