Sorry if I am rambling on hehe
No your not rambling, I like to read and everyone here can tell you I like to write a lot. OK, I see now, the actress/model is pretty. About Don the vamp, yes he has very nice facial structure, what is his nationality? Well, w/ me for the past few years I have a fascination with vamps... excluding the sparkling ones from twilight. But, yeah I would think if I ever met don the vamp 80% of me would possibly believe he was a real vamp and I would be surprised if he ate real food. Yeah, although most of the time I do not dress like it, I am a bit goth/emo with the music, my art, books, movies, films, poetry, etc. I always like the role/style Aaliyah played in Queen of the damned as "Akasha". But that's not why I lighten, my goal is to reach the golden shade I had when I was a kid.
Well, make sure you do as much studying about mono used along w/ almond oil, the risks, how to limit spots, and so forth. I am still doing as much reading as I can about hydroquinone and tretinoin, among other things. As I am lightening so that I can understand my successes with it along with the challenges. I would suggest you can try contacting Lil' Greg for tips for best results in reaching this goal, up here who also uses mono, almond oil, and arbutin and he is very scientific.
Yeah I will definitely contact Lil' Greg. The spots is the only thing I am worried about. As far as going completely white.. it doesn't scare me at all because I am Caucasian and I was always pale like a ghost as a kid.. but surfing is what did it! I went too much into the sun and the doctor told me I needed to stop because skin cancer runs in my family and I wasn't about to lose myself in that situation! It's a scary thought and one has to take precautions!
Aaliyah did an amazing role in Queen Of The Damned.. and may I say she looked so fiiine! Hehehe props for her role and God bless her heart!
Don Henrie aka Don The Vampire is Japanese-American as far as I know.
Yeah, he can help with how to lighten the areas of the spots so they can blend. A suggestion, you can exfoliate first with retina (tretinoin), lactic acid, &/or salicylic acid for a few weeks to help remove any damaged and dead skin cells. After you do this as well as use a high sph sunblock, the skin underneath will naturally be lighter and the product you use will be more quickly absorbed. But, I know little about the full process of mono. Mequinol can also depig at 20% and can used along side tretinoin and can also lighten to the desired shade when used at a lower strength. Much luck
Mequinol just takes longer, right? It would probably be safer for me to use that than Mono only because I'm not too dark.
Vin Diesal complexion.. maybe even 2 shades lighter.
I'm unsure if it takes longer to depig but from this article it seems to state that it will depig much sooner with less side effects compared to mono:Quote:

Also. Golden Girl. That site that was posted in the first or second page selling the Retin A and HQ for like $2.
What's up with that? Is that a scam or something? Like $2 for a product that some people sell for $6-$200?
That's what I had thought and it through me off a bit. But, the reason they are so cheap is because they are Indian generic brands used in India but contains the same active ingredients, which are cheaper than American/Western generic brands, and much cheaper than American/western brand name versions such as Eldoquin, Epiquin Micro, Lustra, Melanex, etc. for generic Hq and Retin-A for generic tretinoin. Some are resold in the U.S. with higher prices, depending who the sellers are. I did check out their manufactures of the products to see if they were legit. I realized it really doesn't cost much to manufacture, it's the middle man that chooses the price for profit.Quote:

Will that be good enough to use with these?
If it is a good cleanser for you and cleanse well then it should work fine, I don't know the ingredients in it. If you want, you can post the ingredients list of it and I can take a look at it.Quote:

This is a basic cleanser and will clean the skin, but make sure you have a good skin moisturizer since this can be drying. Especially while also using hq/ra. COSMETICSINFO.ORG - Your source for safety information about cosmetics and personal care products
Ok thanks. But overall this is good for me to use with the RA/HQ?Quote:

It didn't work good though, I still have my forehead a whole shade darker from this summer, even though I use Makari all the time since October and now its all done but my forehead, and around my eyes, is still darker than the rest of my facfe.
I use neutrogena with helioplex, spf 70 or higher, even their spf 55 worked very well on me and I didn't redarken while using it. Cause it absorbs very well w/out the white residue. I would think spf 15 would do little. My forehead is ketching up, the forehead is usually the darkest though.

Because I really don't have enough time in the mornings to put on all that sunblock.
I can't say, but I doubt it. You'll be surprised how much a good sunblock can do. You still may get some success, but will get even more when using sunblock religiously at least 15-20 min before when you go outside, better off not waisting lightening product. Only time when I don't apply is if I'm going out at night time and I don't use in the house and have had success. I heard both should still be done though.Quote:

For hq, yeah you can apply 2x a day (and can even not apply the hq on night you apply retin-a). You have to check how your skin reacts, if its getting too irritated then it is best to cut back. I had to cut back to use 1x a day or 1x everyother day and still have lightening.
Ok. Now when I go out I only need to put the sunblock on the parts of my skin that re exposed right?Quote:

Yes, that is what I do. I apply on the exposed areas.Quote:

Try once a day for starters... see how your skin takes it.. you may not peel for the first four days and then you will feel like your face is super peely and burning a littls.. beause of the retin A.. Your face will feel a little "crispy" and tight around the corners of you mouth.. LOL.. it doesn't matter which one you put first, but I like to use the retin A first them HQ.. Makes me feel like it's penetrating better...Quote:

Will it still work?
OK do you want to go really light
Ow well den imma give yuh my lightening secret
This will make you like 4 shades lighter in a wekk if you do it proply na d consistently
. Oright get yourself bio claire lotion and the oil and mix it in a tub and then you will need 1 other maxi light oil and hot movate gel mix all this together in a tub
And store in tha frigde over night
The next morning get yourself a lemon
Squezze it into a cup dip your finger in and apply the lemon liquid to your face and neck leave on until it dries
Then wash off
Now apply your lightening lotion to your body
At lease twice through the day when it gets to night time
Here's da trick
Apply it thickly on your legs and arms
And neck
And then get some glad wrap and wrap it
Over those area
Easliy
Don't apply the glad wrap to your face though
And then aplly it thick on your face
And go to sleep with your face facing upwards
And make sure you put on socks over the toes
In the morning you will wake up don't take it of until it gets to about 11:50
Go to the bath tub fill it wif really warm water
And take all that stuff of
And lay in da tub
All your dead skin wiff come of and
Your skin will be so light
Do this about one whole week
Straight
And I swear you will notice results
But please stay out of the sun because then your skin will only reproduce more melanin
After you get to your desired result
Only do this twice a week
And the rest of the week normally apply the cream to the body softly
This will maintain the color
Anywas I do this and I went so light
That its so noticeable
Like
Because I went from trey songs color to a bit lighter then chris brown... Anyway try this people I swear by it
Use Retin A... it will peel the skin better... and make the HQ work faster... HQ will peel the skin too... but not nearly as well... it will dry it and flake kind of gross then peel... and not a good look... the Retin A will help this along better.. besides you may get some acne from HQ alone on the face... so retin A will help with that tooQuote:

Steroids are dangerous they can cause many medical conditions, also stretch marks, wrinkles etc.
Now how long does A Tube Of 30 Gm Cream and A Tube Of 20 Gm Gel last?
How long will they last if I use them twice a day?
Because I'm on a budget and I need to know how much I need to get.
It can last me almost two months, I mixed both the hq/ra in jar when I used it. Doesn't take much to cover your face, you don't need to apply it thick.
