    How to reverse skin lightening
    Okay, so I have a few questions to ask about skin lightening. See, I believe my skin may have been lightened. My mom's side of the family has this really light, yellowish looking skin color but my so-called dad's side has this fair skin with some type of peach undertone to it. Well, my skin is deathly pale, has no undertone to it whatsoever, its oily, red on my face, red patches on my skin, and on my back there are these weird white bumps that are very visible. They aren't acne or anything, so I don't know what they are. Another thing? NO ONE in my whole family has ever had acne!

    I am thinking that my skin may have been lightened or bleached, (seeing as how a DNA test proved that the man whom my mom claims to be my dad is not) and I want to know is there anything to reverse it? Anything at all?

    I am confused. Are you saying that you don't know whether your skin has been lightened or not ? Are you saying that your Mum may have applied lightening products as a child to cover what happened ?

    Crazy... but I wouldn't recommend a tan if you're pale-white. You'll just get burnt red and maybe skin cancer. Try spray tanning.
