    Skin lightening for coloured people?
    Hey I'm new to all this and so any advice / assistance would be appreciated. Basically my father is indian and my mother is Chinese and currently I'm living in Australia my skin is very dark (no exaggeration) and I would like to inquire as to how I would go about lightening it. I don't want to become white I just want a lighter shade of brown as perception of my skin colour seems to change depending on lightning. I'm not looking at using mono or hydrq as I'm not really that serious about it I'm just wondering if things like papaya soap will actually do anything or if products like nur76 actually work and I've read something about skin peeling? (no idea what it is )

    Again any assistance would be much appreciated

    I have tried Nur76 and couldn't see any significant difference, but then you may find it helpful.

    Again some people swear by papaya and I think it is an OK brightener and exfoliator but not if you want to see a real change, in my experience.

    The good thing about both these products is that they are relatively inexpensive, so you won't break the bank if you decide to try it for yourself. If you do, let us know how you get on.

    Good Luck

    Kojic acid soap is also very useful

    Skin lightening for colored people? Suddenly I feel like I'm in a time warp back to the 1960's or something.
