Are you biracial too? I am 1/2 italian, 1/2 black

Yeah I'm 1/2 white 1/8 black 3/8 indian

Have you changed colors at all? I am going to try and be patient. Monday I will be able to order the 2 tubes of ultraquin. I will post pics of like my hands but not face as I don't want people knowing.

I have always admired the "ritz cracker" complexion that's why I say no to mono.

Have you used anything? And what color are you dying your hair to?

What's ultraquin?
And I'm doing the same diry blonde or a dusky brown colour...

It's a 4 percent HQ cream I got the link from here
You have never used whitening before? I haven't...

Oh I have but nothing seems to work for me
:|
I'm using this cristiline product on here everyone is rabing about but I tkeep breaking out so I'm not getting anylightening :|

Sorry the link is so big: Google Image Result for http://www.pharmacymix.com/SiteCM/i/Upload/231933A97A1F5561E40E8E924B8F3B9DEC2FF2FA.gif

Well I have made a solemn swear to myself if the HQ doesn't work I am going to mono :(
Anything is better than this though :)

I would suggest only using the cream in the winter though and wear sunblock so that it doesn't oxodise with the air/sun and make you darker!

I'm planning on using a 4% hq cream to in the winter months!
Are you getting coloured contacts as well?

And woow that is expensive!

Lol I know! But its worth it IMO. I don't think to get the contacts, but I have thought of gray, only because they tell me I had it as a baby... I was quite a fair baby and little girl, and was born with flaxen hair, so I am not ENTIRELY transforming myself. Yet by winter of next year I will definitely look different. We are not very dark anyway, so it should probably take 6 months if the sun is avoided

Yeah I'm going to probably start the hq at the start of November with some some retin.a
Aparantly it speeds up results so much!

I think they are already mixed with that stuff I am going to give you the link I use:

https://skin-careonline.com/

It doesn't say it's mixed in on the list...

The Tri-Luma does though

Well, I'm using one of those there... bc that strength requires prescription
Would you consider the mequinol?

I didn't see the mequinol on there :S
I really want to try that too! You?

Uh huh! But I don't know where to find it! All these frign fakers! Lets try to find a seller

Yeah I think I might try the hq first and see how that goes?
What are your plans/regimes?

Right now I scrub and shave a lot to increase absorption and I use ambi and sunscreen and stay out of the sun
My face is glowing because of it, but I want color change!! What do you do?

I just wash my face with soap and apply this cristiline stuff on with a cotton wool and put on sunscreen... no results yet :|

Well, I'm not a patient person so if HQ doesn't work within 10 days its on to mequinol!!
I want to look like a mannequin/femmebott/barbie somewhat haha I know sounds insane
Perfect. Beautiful, plastic

Hahaha I envy that look!
But ill give the hq a month or so

All right well if you take pics before me let me know so I can send you my email address
By the way check out ana beatriz barros
She is my inspiration

OK I'll pm you?

What is pm? Where do I find it? Is it a private message?

Yes if you look up into the top right hand corner of the page you should see a flashing picture of an envolope when I send you a message just click on it and try and use your initiative to read it reply etc lol

OK lol I will
I'm so anxious to be fair! Ill message you l8r

Hey guys, how's it going with hq? Either of u tried mequinol yet?

The hq is lightening my face well, still waiting for it to show results on hands/arms

Glad your getting results golden girl. Have you decided not 2 use mequinol?

Thanks Jojo! I have decided to stick with the hq/retina for a few months and then hopefully switch to something more natural but still cost effective that I can maintain with. For me the hq/ra is strong and gives results but will use only temporarily. So I changed my mind from trying the mequinol for now.

Hydroquinone works well on the face too but it is not permanent. I mix raw hydroquinone with eskinol to make a 10% solutuion. I use hydroquinone and mequinol on my face. The mequinol does wonders. It will really lighten you up. The hydroquinone solution is great also but I do not like the fact that it is not permanent.

Hey Missteetee, I have a few questions to ask that I hopw that you can answer for me:
1. Is the mequinol that you use you do not redarken from it, are the results permanent or 2. how do you maintain?
3. What is Eskinol?
4. What percentage of Hq do you use on your face, and you are also using mequinonl 10%?
5. Can you please explain you daily regimen that you use and for how long you have been using it?
6. What is your original shade and how many shades have you lightened? Were you able to lighten your whole body as well?

Hi, regarding my face I use homemade 10% mequinol in the morning and at night. I use the 10% hydroquinone homemade solution on my face in the night time right before I use the mequinol. My face complexion use to be the color of Tatyana Ali but now it is at least 2 shades lighter. I'm not trying to depig at all but I do want to keep my skin lightened by at least 2 shades. My complexion has been maintaining but I have been doing this regimen for a year now non stop. As for my body it has lightened but the color is still a bit uneven. Eskinol is a filipinio product and it is just an astringent that comes in lemon,papaya, calamansi, cucumber and avocado. I prefer the papaya astringent because it lightens your face. But basically I dissolve raw hydroquinone powder with a little alcohol and then I mix it into the eskinol.

Thanks Missteetee for answering. Are you sure you only lightened only 2 shades in one year from using hq and mequinol 10% twice a day? I thought a person would be many shades lighter? I have been using hq 4% and tretinoin 0.05% for 2 weeks on my face and I have lightened 2 shades already, I'm still waiting for my arms and hands to lighten. What celebrity does your new shade look like?
