What is the procedure called? I'm interested.

You can use a skin lightening cream that you feel comfortable with and the saran-wrap/plastic bag method. You will do this at night before you go to sleep. This is kind of awkward and uncomfortable...

I've never used Extra Claire so I can't speak on that. But as far as Bio Claire: we have a love-hate relationship. It always lightens me quickly but then sometimes the lighter skin comes with...

I buy it because it does work fast and it's convenient for me. What I do is leave it on, like all day while I'm in the house and by the fourth day, my skin will be bright. By the second or third...

Movate made me physically sick. I was nauseous, had racing heart beat, shortness of breath and broke me out. Everyone's skin is different so you may respond to it differently. But I think the product...

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I don't have a definitive answer on what will work, but I can give suggestions. In your case, I'm assuming this is probably what happened: When you waxed/threaded...

I tried it. And it burnt my face. Waste of $9.00. Everyone's skin responds to products different, but I personally wouldn't recommend buying it.

No that isn't me. Lol. This is actually a singer. But anyway, I have darkened a lot due to the summer. But thank God it's over so I can start lightening again. But it does have steroids in it. For...

Rareindividual! It's been awhile. How's your lightening going?

But here's the scoop: I've used bio claire in the past and I use it from time to time when I need to lighten within a week. I usually...

@ Lightgirl: Where did you find those pictures? Girl, the first one is like obvious.com. It looks like she began lightening her face and was able to apply a lighter make-up but didn't begin...

I totally understand where you're coming from. And I'd be happy to help. I, myself, am really getting fed up with this heat/sun because it seems like if I go one day without sunscreen, I darken half...

My sentiments exactly lol. I'm still brainstorming ideas. Have you just started lightening or have you done so for awhile? Also, what is your current & goal color?

I know how harsh the southern heat can be ! Lol. I was thinking about hosting the group like once a week and having refreshments etc. I live in the bronx but I was thinking of finding a place to host...

I'm really interested in starting an actual group, nyc based, to discuss skin lightening and products. I think one of the hardest parts of going through this SLJ (skin lightening journey) is that you...

LionessRampant: There's no need to be patronizing. I definitely feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I will give you that. However, 1: it should be done in a respectful manner and...

@ Nikkicute: I agree. I never believed her to be a dark-skinned woman, but I do remember her having a brown skin tone. She is now extremely light.

The choice to do that is rightfully up to her. I...

@ Violaename: Lol. And like I said, if you want to lighten for whatever reason, it doesn't matter. As a human being you have the right to make your own decisions. But don't condemn others and insult...

Yes girl. Indeed it is.

Hey guys. I know I've been away for awhile buT I'm back.

Anyway, I'm sure almost every has seen the Tyra Banks episode about skin lightening and all that jazz. Tyra dedicated this whole episode...

Sara_uk you're a trip! Lmao

Yay =]

@ seriouschick:

Thanks for the response. I actually haven't heard of "Now Foods" but I'm located in nyc, so I wouldn't doubt one exists here. How long did it take for you to see a difference with...

Yeah girl. Apparently it helps to give a bright and glowing complexion. Instead of GNC, I went to the vitamin shoppe and pick up 1000 mg of vitamin c, 50 mg of zinc and 500 mg of Primrose oil (fish...

Totally understandable.

Stopping lighteners once achieving desired complexions: I'm not a 100 percent sure so don't quote me. I really am not sure if you'd go all the way back to your original...

Nah that's not a dumb question girl. From what I understand, the reason most people have adverse reactions and extreme darkening is for two reasons: the product that they used had a dangerous...

And when the temptation arises to take it off, fight it! Lol.
Also, upon waking up... try to leave the bags on as long as humanly possible.

Good Luck!

To be honest with you, I only used a neoprosone and movate mix. I found out after the fact that these lighteners weren't safe, so I wouldn't tell u to use them. If you have a lightener that is...

I don't know why it's not working. Anyway, I used neoprosone and movate for 2 weeks (I don't recommend using them) but I've been trying to lighten my body for a bit longer. The problem with me is I...

Sorry about that. Let me try again.

Thanks Golden Girl. Well... I knew it sounded too good...

Oh well.

Also... I meant to add this in earlier but I forgot. Here's a pic of me prior to lightening (I've been using products off and on since '08):

This isn't necessarily a safe list but here's a starting point:

Thanks for answering ! Lol. Do you know if it lightened them or was it just good for clearing acne?

Hi Meadowzz,

So despite much of the hype concerning skin bleaching pills, the majority of us have come to the conclusion that most do not lighten the skin. A lot of them may help smooth and clear...

So I'm heading to the GNC store to pick up some supplements (specifically Fish Oil Pills and Vitamin C) to aid the lightening process. What brands do you guys recommend and at what mg for the Vitamin...

Anyone? Lol

Lolz! No problem. And I'm sure you probably figured but remember to tie the bags on your feet and hands after you put on the shopping bags. And please keep me posted on your results. If I find...

Lol @ "the save my soul" part.

I don't know how 2010 you would consider this but when I had problems lightening my feet, as a strange as this may sound a Jamaican friend of mine told me to use the...

Foxiebrownie: Sorry I left you out of the last post. But I've used a bunch of products.

I've used Esoterica Night Cream, Bioclaire, Movate(dangerous, but if you choose to use it, don't use on...

Sorry for the late response. I've been visiting friends down south so I haven't been able to keep up with my regimen or with AMHD. Anywho: I'm back =]

QueenBri: Thanks so much for the compliment....

The world is already set up to diminish and invalidate the worth of black women, please don't give it any un-needed assistance.

It's one thing to lighten yourself. Another to pollute a young...

I think she means just for the parts that are clearly visible. I would just buy whatever shade I'm trying to attain, in a concealer, matte foundation and a translucent powder, to ensure full...

Lol. No probz.
Thanks & Happy Lightening to u also!

I only would use to maintain the color. So I would probably still use but cut down from 3 times a day to like 1. Getting to her color is realistic and won't generate too much suspicion. But any...

Sanaa is simply gorg. In general. But I really would love to be specifically Lala Vasquez's color. I think her color is perfect. And yep, that's me. I'm more caramel brown than yellow. The flash was...

It's the worst. Well before I started using Dr. Fred Summit (I was using other products before it, mind you)... I was a deep brown complexion. Like D. Woods. Now with this product and others, I'm now...

Yea girl. For the results to be actually noticeable, for me it was like 2 months. But then again, everyone's skin is different. The only thing I will say about bio claire, is be careful. When I'm low...

I'm actually having the opposite problem. Lol. But Dr. Fred Summit changed my face from chocolate brown to a real caramel brown. Its really greasy so if I know ill be out during the day, I only put...

I've used it for about 4 months now and I'd say you'll see noticeable results within 2 months. I think the fastest that I saw it work was when I mixed it with bioclaire lightening body cream and some...
