Need a good moisturizer, I had to stop lightening cause the skin below my eyes was getting really dark and its sore and it hurts all the time. Can someone please recommend a good moisturizer that can help the skin to recover from the trauma I caused to it.

Try raw shea butter. It repairs the skin and moisturizes it and is all natural.

Thanks super I will do just that, how is your lightening coming along, did you get rid of your spots, I keep getting new ones daily

imgorgeous · Jun 17, 2009, 09:42 AM

Lighter... the best mix for moisturiser you can ever get is

Half quanity of rose water, equal amount of glycerin and a few drops of lemon ( and I mean only a few drops of PURE lemon jyice )

Use this for fifteen days only and see the hydration and clarity your skin will get...

It lightens marginally... not significant... so only expect it to be a fantastic moisturiser more than anything else.

chandani I am just trying to recover, I did too much to soon, right now I have mj white spots from the mono that are popping up daily. Plus my face feels so sore and it hurts, so right now I am only using retina 0.10% on my face and movate 2 X a week on the body.

I just want to be one colour again :o

chandani · Jun 19, 2009, 02:35 PM

Well of course your face is gon be sore and hurt.. your putting on .10 retina on you FACE.. I don't think the effect of mono is making your face hurt.. howvever getting white spots sounds about right...
Hope fully you'll pull through and at the end you won't be so uneven

Let's just say I'm kind of in a similar situation.. tried to brighten my arms.. instead ended up with dark large marks all over my skin, a lot darker than my skin tone, its not going away no matter what I use.. so instaed on lightening I'm trying to fix my skin (sigh). I'm trying a lotta diff things but not working at all
What is this movate ? Heard of it in the forum before.. is it only found in africa ?

Girl, I used movate from north america before with good results, then I tried the african movate which I bought over her in Nigeria locally and within 3 days my skin was peeling uncontrollably had to stay indoors it was embarrassing, then after it finished it left me with white spots like rihanna white. But don't run to your local beauty store to buy movate, ITS STRONG AND DANGEROUS, it's a steroid, make sure you read up about it on wikipedia, its not for long term usage, and if you currently have any health issues DON'T USE IT. I have personally expereince heart flutters when I use it.:eek:

Clobetasol propionate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you do use it though I hope it can get rid of the dark marks.

Lightening is so frustrating honestly, once I get back to one colour I am just going to stick with it, yep that will be it for me folks

Super Shallow · Jun 20, 2009, 08:16 AM

I have a great color right now
In the beginning it was hard
A lot of paches spots and every thing bad you can imgain
Its only because I didn't know how to use mono
I used to put HQ MONO RETIN and others on my skin// which was worng

Nowadays I mix my mono powderonly with spoon or two of alchole and with Dove
That's it!
And after week or two when my skin becomes dry and hard I put for 2 days retin a to help the skin to peel.. and it works like a magic

Now I have other problems
My friend and other people that know me asking me about my skin
And its weird for them and for me
I was really dark like opreh now I like J.LOPEZ
I so happy with that

jojo9090 · Jun 20, 2009, 08:28 AM

Super shallow, I'm glad your having such great results. Where are you getting your mono from? Which alcohol do you use to mix it with?
Thanks , jojo

Or is it because what I said?

Both. Your English and also what you said about going from Oprah? To Jennifer Lopez.

Hi super shallow. Glaf you've had such great results, but wher do you get your mono? Which alcohol do u use to mix it with?
Thanks Jojo

Super Shallow · Jun 21, 2009, 04:29 AM

I buy it from a guy that buys it from Mono.net and from china
That guy have vitiligo but he don't use Mono and he sells me only because I told him that I got vitiligo.. I lied and it's not right and I regret for that

Alcohol 70%
http://www.first-aid-product.com/industrial/M-313t.gif

Not a drinking alcohol

If you don't have vitiligo
And if your skin is not damged
Don't start with mono!!
You can't go back!
And it's hard journey
You'll feel lonely.. ugly and weird
Depression despondency
Your skin will be with spots.. patchs
People will stare at you.. you will feel leprous
You'll have to put sunscreen every 2 hours put a hats always
Don't start with mono!

But if you already in the process
This what you should do..

To make 20% Mono cream
Take a jar... any jar.. measure with measuring tape 20% of the jar
Fulfill this 20% place in the jar with your Monobenzone powder
Then put few spoons of alcohol and it will dissolve the powder mix it good till it all will dissolve
Then then gradually add a lotion to the mixture.. and mix it good and slowly
I honestly recommend "Dove lotion for Dry skin" because Mono itself makes your skin very very dry
Mixing the powder with this lotion gives balanced mixture

I'm not a Doc or chemist
But I got 6 months of experience on myself... my skin been through a lot!
And only this way it works for me... I don't know about you..

I truly don't recommend Mono!
The sun will be your enemy
2 minets out there and you'll feel you skin on fire
Like it ripped from your flesh
Don't use Mono!

Hi super shallow...

Well I have been using isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol but I use a lot more of it... than the teaspoonfuls and plus I heated it..

You don't heat the rubbing alcohol?

I have dover regular cream with me... can I use that ?

Now its working for you too.. I'm the ing loner in this world because its still not working for me !
