    I agree. I guess it's because skin lightening is viewed so negatively that it can put you on the defensive, when questioned.


    In all honesty it is a bit like asking someone why they wear certain clothes. It's just CHOICE and I thank God that I lIve in a free country where I can CHOOSE!!

    Yeah Maharani & Red, agree, well I'm defensive because I really do feel its as equal as asking every person that buys suntan lotion (not just sunblock) if they're not happy with their own skin :)

    Well America at least is like 80% northern european descent, so it makes sense there's a tanning salon on every city block but no lightening cream stores (thats what beauty supply for)...

    I'm working on melasma, suntoasted neck and forearms, I'm also darker on my left side of face from driving. :< My darker parts are like




    I love SL's color it's close to my torso (unexposed skin) shade... mostly I just want to get relatively even.



    It's been years of neglect so I'm not expecting to undo it overnight.
    So there's almost this sort of situation going on now

    :(

    I'm back on sunblock, glycolic peels, and 3 % HQ. I'm seeing a gradual difference after 3 months.

    I actually use my breasts or childhood photographs as my ideal color goal. LOL!

    I would have to say natural skin tone from above, is closest to Brown,

    What's yours?
    Hi! Does anyone here think that going from dark brown to olive is to far? I was naturally a light person years ago (childhood) and was mostly tan during that time (East African). I guess I should show off the childhood pics to keep the nosy people satisfied.

    How long could it take before the sun damage reverses? Lastly, how long will it take to see this change using natural methods like exfoliation and sunblock?

    Thanks! (First Post)
