I wanted to get the toner and the scrubber and th soap to ensure that I didnt use any chemicals, or harsh scrubbers that would counteract with the melederm. I like to use all of the same brand, especially when it comes to doing something drastic to the face.
But you guys are saying it doesnt work, and thats its a waste. I seriously feel like crying. I finally thought there was hope, and now, I dont have any hope that Ill ever having the angelic complexion I once had. When I was a child, I was very light, but living in california, and being exposed to the sun for years, has darkened skin. Well for the past 3 years I have stayed out of the sun, and used sunblocks and umbrellas or hats to shield me from direct sunlight, and I have gotten back some of my natural color. I live in riveride, which is a desert, and even being outside when its hot can and does tan your skin. Especially if your me, and your skin is used to producing thousands of melanocytes, because of the climate I live in.
Im just tired of being upset with my complexion.... it is praised to be light skinned. And I am... but Im not satisfied, I feel dark, and whether its mental or not, I know I would be happier, if I could just go a few shades.
But seriously, I dont think anything works. And if it does, then its bad for your skin like monobenzone and hydroquinone. I dont want to be WHITE like michael jackson, and I dont want to avoid the sun for the rest of my life. I want to have a natural fair skinned glow, and I want to enjoy the sun again. But I know I wont be able to, as long as I fear getting dark.
