Yes, yes, that's nice... but I'm not going to get the color I want to be or even out my screwed up hyperpigmented face by putting a slice of lemon on my face for 30mins a day. At least not in a timely fashion, I don't want to have to do that for the rest 10yrs to get 1 shade lighter... of course I exaggerate but you get the idea...

If you have a problem with scars or spots on your face or body then this sounds great! But if you use a skin whitener to lighten your complexion full body, in order to change who you are as some of the statements here suggest, then I think you need a session with a therapist to determine why you want to change yourself. Many people of color strive to change themselves due to pressure in our society that heightens the appeal to be white or light skinned. Commercials and videos cater to light skinned girls perpetrating that it's cool or good to be light. Keep your dark skin! The darker the better- our dark brown ancestors were beautiful and people in present day Africa, Asia and India are just beautiful!!

I really am dumb found to see so many people who desire to lighten their body color!!
There is something really scary about this! Girls learn to love yourselves as God made you! Again! As my last post mentioned! Dark skin is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! ACCEPT it!
Revel and Delight in it!! And others will too!! Life is too short and other things too important to dwell on such matters.

The eliminer pills and cream have not only repaired the damage but have made my skin sooo
light. I found them on the net eliminer I am so happy now:):):):):)
Cream is really expensive for that much and seems like they don't have lots of testimonies from customers... hmmmmm... idk...

Kammiepooh thanks for your concern, but what I am about to say I have mentioned in another thread. So I'll paste the message here:
You ask why some desire to change their physical appearance when you have unsuccessfully tried to change yours... for different reasons of course... but, the fact remains the same.
The point is that you still attempted to change your skin by using self tanners to appear artificially darker. I am not saying you are wrong for this to darken your skin, as this is your right. Just as it is everyone else right if they desire to look lighter. I understand you ask this question because you have not been in this situation. So, I will try and explain.
Most of us are not trying to become a different race, that is physically impossible, but to achieve a lighter tone. For many, it isn't to lighten just for the heck of it, I'm sure they have their reasons to. You first have to also question societies around the world and in our communities why do they mistreat those who are not light, even those from the same group. All colors are equally beautiful as we are all created equal, but we all are not treated equally. Even for those who wish to not change their tone, whether they are fair, yellow, red, brown, or dark brown, which is completely their desire and is fine. Safety when altering anything on the body is important, as I am struggling to find better products.
Also, those who question "why lighten" must also question "why tan, why artificially tan, why perm the hair, why straighten the hair, why get nose jobs, dye the hair a different color, and colored contacts, lip injections, butt implants, even tattoos, wigs, " etc. etc... Humanity is always trying to alter their appearance and for one to say someone shouldn't and the other can, is hypocritical. I do not believe people MUST alter their appearance, but if they wish to or not, either way they have their reasons.

I dare everyone on this site to read a book or even take a few moments to broaden your horizons by watching National Geographic- or do ANYTHING constructive to enlighten yourselves on the history of your heritage. You have let white society enslave you once again-not your body-but your minds. You are all obsessed with this ridiculous ritual of lightening your skin. DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE FOR YOURSELVES AND SOCIETY!!
I will not waste any more of my precious time responding to any one of you!! Or by reading your posts or responses. I have a productive life- GET ONE!!

Kammiepooh that was a lame comment you made, as well as prejudging one's own actions. I rarely watch tv and when I do I only watch Discover, Nat Geo, History Channel, CNN, MSNBC. And I am definitely a book worm and bet I have more books in one room than you had in 1 lifetime. I also enjoy creating websites, programming, and action scripts as I am a web designer..so to misapprehend one's intelligence is a fallacy on your part. To categorize everyone here as one race or ethnic group is stereotypical and judgemental. We come from all backgrounds, all colors, and all nationalities.
It doesn't make you any better coming on this forum every waking hour of the day harassing the other members. Did you read my previous post carefully that I had written to you? Please re-read it for clarification purposes before you are reported. Please find another forum to harass or read a few intellectual literatures at your local library. Peace.;)

People are tired of using products that are puting their health at risk unknowingly (amazingly some dont even care, they just want to be white/lighter) and today we are going to end this!
After my sitaution with Bio Claire I decided to go natural and I'm glad I did!
Starting Monday I will be using gluta-blend soap (a soap that is blended with kojic acid, glutathione, and rosehip oil. It is also good at exfoliating and micropeeling) and istant skin whitening effect lotion ( a lotion that contain high dosage of kojic acid and glutathion aswell as rosehip oil and other safe ingredients) and will update you on my progress. I was kinda concerned about the high dosage of kojic acid in the lotion but I searched for reviews on the product and users have seeing amazing results. Although the results were not instant ( 1 1/2 weeks before they seen results) they seen amazing results. And the bottles last 3 weeks if used all over. ITs actually the bet seller on the amira website I orderd from and I must say the amira website is amazing because it only sells natural safe products! Goggle amira majic for the website.
So feel free to post ingredients that your unsure about or comment/review on safe products you are using or have used.
HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE! JOIN THE NATURAL MOVEMENT!:D
*MODS PLEASE DONT DELETE THIS THREAD BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS THREAD WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE*
Hi, I'm considering the South Beach Skin Solutions for the more sensitive areas as my nipples, and pubic areas have darkened since pregnancy and not returned to my normal skin colour. Has anyone tried it or can anyone offer advice. I also seem to suffer from hyperpigmentation, where minor cuts and scratches darken when it heals and takes years to go away. Even my legs have darkened pores even though I wax. Will South Beach Skin Sol help for this as well... or should I use something else for that?

I'm familiar with South Beach Skin Solutions. But from looking at their active ingredients, they are good in helping the lightening process and discolorations:
Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate)
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract)
Bearberry leaf extract (Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract)
So you can give it a try if you like and tell us your progress. I also have hyperpigmentation and was unalbe to lighten them with lightening creams. From what I was told, I would have to use a TCA peel to remove the dead skin first, and then use retin-a (tretinoine) and a good lightening cream to help them to lighten and prevent from getting dark.
