    Has anyone ever accused you of lightening your skin?
    The only people that really say anything about the change in the color of my skin is my family. And I live with them and they know I do it because my mother does it lol. So Yeah. Otherwise no one has actually come right out and asked me if I bleach. They have to notice a difference. Seeing as how my skin color has changed. But since it's all even and my skin looks nice and clear, no one will say anything? Or they're maybe talking about me but just behind my back. It's whatever. Just curious if anyone has any stories to tell. Don't be shy!

    Well nobody asked me whether I'm bleaching when I got lighter by using bio claire.
    However my sis told me that my mother was thinking I'm on a skin lightening trip.
    But my sister (who doesn't really know about the whole skin lightening skin) answered that it might be because I hardly went out in the daylight for my six weeks of holidays. When holidays were over a classmate asked me whether I was locked up during the holidays cause I look a bit lighter. Other than that everybody was complimentint me and told me that I look different. But they didn't realize its also my skin (heck, I didn't even realize myself) that looks different. But attributed my new look and glow to the skin to my new hair do. (long, dark brown and wavy)

    Which skin lightening products are you ladies using? Have you tried Makari? I'm really considering it, except the fact that a lot of people have had some breakouts from the products

    Sweetchia,
    I was asked the same thing yrs ago. I had adult acne. (3 pimples per month DR said was acne)?
    I really did have a dr put me on Obagi which was 8% HQ w retin a at night. I wore hats & sunscreens which broke me out sometimes. They know I wear hats & shades, etc all the time. They know I'm a diva so it just me being me lol Im running from the some sun!
    Ive never really darkened after the HQ. I do maintain about once or twice a week.
    THOUGHT I could get my arms, legs, & back to match w mono & benz... WRONG!!
