Hey mepk3... well lemons isn't really affecting me that much rite now... I think its fine using them... hasn't really cause much trouble.. or anything.. besides I used to use lemons since I was 10 or eleven... when I used to get pimples.. yeah I used to get pimples at 10 because I used to eat too much of butter anedd pickles back then.. . fortunately they have died out since I turned 19... five years free of acne...

Okay?? I had to get veeners cause of lemons... You are putting this on your skin your face... let me know in about 3 weeks... lol

Mix your mono w/ lotion ( no alcohol) or coca butter. Use the acid soap & suncreen in the day.
U will be fine... less is more.

Yeah mepk5 I am mixing with almond oil now... and then use a little retin a...

No alcohol anymore... but I am sort of worried it won't seep into my skin without alcohol too well.

Hey need u can use alcohol but keep it to a minimu, maybe a pinch my experience alcohol works better than lemon, you peel sooner

needtolighten · Mar 10, 2009, 05:40 PM

Hiya lighter.. yeah I think I need a touch of alcohol in there... by the way its been like what? Two weeks?/ no lightening.. no nothing.. its just about the same... for a change there is no darkening either which is good.. but nothing is really happening using the mono...

mepk5 · Mar 10, 2009, 05:55 PM

Aha! I got it! Hydrogen peroxide will give u the little kick u need w/o drying your skin...
Careful on your face it will turn r eyebrows red...

mepk5 · Mar 10, 2009, 05:57 PM

Don't put it in your mixture. Use it as a n astrigent. ( after u wash your face. Put it on let it dry. Then your mono.

lighterrr · Mar 10, 2009, 08:12 PM

Wow mpk I am scared of that mix, but if it works well gl

mepk5 · Mar 10, 2009, 08:53 PM

Hydrogen peroxide is gentle it doesn't burn but it will lighten, hair skin clothes.
I've used it as an astrigent for years.
Some women use it on their mustaches... & lighten their eyebrows.
It's not alcohol or acid like lemons.

Mono is scary to put on your face! Thank goodnes I didn't try it! I'm not that daring! Or brave.

A good tip for preventing your eyebrows from getting bleached, apply vaseline over it. I do this when I'm using Jolen. :)

lighterrr · Mar 11, 2009, 11:58 AM

Think that's how the stars have those brown eyebrows, that look so nice with their makeup

mepk5 · Mar 11, 2009, 02:28 PM

Yep,
I've highlighted my eyebrows before. Sally hansen has a good one also.
I will use vaseline to cover them when I use the hydrogen peroxide from now on.

Thanks punk chic!!

Hey mepk won't hydrogen peroxide burn your lashes away?

Sounds little scary to me babes...

Although peroxide and retin a did help me with acne blues in my early teens I know it's a sexy useful product.. it even causes temporary whitening... making you look much lighter especially if you have a cold water bath and then aplly it..

mepk5 · Mar 12, 2009, 01:01 PM

No it will not burn your lashes. It doesn't burn even if u apply it to a cut or bruise.
Try it on your hands first. U'll see. It has no tingling burning or stinging. I use to exfoliate then pour about 4 bottles in my bath water. It didn't burn there either! LOL try it.

lighterrr · Mar 13, 2009, 12:20 AM

Thanks mpk going to try it on the eybrows so when I pencil them in with browb they look more natural

mepk5 · Mar 13, 2009, 01:41 PM

No! Not hydrogen peroxide( it will take days)
Buy the sall hansen's cream
& put it on in about 7 min they will be lighterrr. I put on & forgot once.
I ended up w blonde eyebrows. I had to add a brown lip pencil until the color grew out which was 3 weeks... LOL

needtolighten · Mar 14, 2009, 10:56 AM

Gosh Lol... this thread seems more of a cosmetic eye lightener one now.. I totally feel like What am I doing here amongst the babes.. . lolz..
