Yes, yes, that's nice... but I'm not going to get the color I want to be or even out my screwed up hyperpigmented face by putting a slice of lemon on my face for 30mins a day. At least not in a timely fashion, I don't want to have to do that for the rest 10yrs to get 1 shade lighter... of course I exaggerate but you get the idea...
If you have a problem with scars or spots on your face or body then this sounds great! But if you use a skin whitener to lighten your complexion full body, in order to change who you are as some of the statements here suggest, then I think you need a session with a therapist to determine why you want to change yourself. Many people of color strive to change themselves due to pressure in our society that heightens the appeal to be white or light skinned. Commercials and videos cater to light skinned girls perpetrating that it's cool or good to be light. Keep your dark skin! The darker the better- our dark brown ancestors were beautiful and people in present day Africa, Asia and India are just beautiful!!
I really am dumb found to see so many people who desire to lighten their body color!!
There is something really scary about this! Girls learn to love yourselves as God made you! Again! As my last post mentioned! Dark skin is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! ACCEPT it!
Revel and Delight in it!! And others will too!! Life is too short and other things too important to dwell on such matters.
Cream is really expensive for that much and seems like they don't have lots of testimonies from customers... hmmmmm... idk...Quote:

The point is that you still attempted to change your skin by using self tanners to appear artificially darker. I am not saying you are wrong for this to darken your skin, as this is your right. Just as it is everyone else right if they desire to look lighter. I understand you ask this question because you have not been in this situation. So, I will try and explain.
Most of us are not trying to become a different race, that is physically impossible, but to achieve a lighter tone. For many, it isn't to lighten just for the heck of it, I'm sure they have their reasons to. You first have to also question societies around the world and in our communities why do they mistreat those who are not light, even those from the same group. All colors are equally beautiful as we are all created equal, but we all are not treated equally. Even for those who wish to not change their tone, whether they are fair, yellow, red, brown, or dark brown, which is completely their desire and is fine. Safety when altering anything on the body is important, as I am struggling to find better products.
Also, those who question "why lighten" must also question "why tan, why artificially tan, why perm the hair, why straighten the hair, why get nose jobs, dye the hair a different color, and colored contacts, lip injections, butt implants, even tattoos, wigs, " etc. etc... Humanity is always trying to alter their appearance and for one to say someone shouldn't and the other can, is hypocritical. I do not believe people MUST alter their appearance, but if they wish to or not, either way they have their reasons.
BANGING answer Golden Girl!!
No need for me to say anything lol

lighterrr: Did you mix your own formula with the sepiwhite or was it the fair and flawless you used that has sepiwhite as the ingredient?Quote:

Hi, I'm considering the South Beach Skin Solutions for the more sensitive areas as my nipples, and pubic areas have darkened since pregnancy and not returned to my normal skin colour. Has anyone tried it or can anyone offer advice. I also seem to suffer from hyperpigmentation, where minor cuts and scratches darken when it heals and takes years to go away. Even my legs have darkened pores even though I wax. Will South Beach Skin Sol help for this as well... or should I use something else for that?Quote:

So you can give it a try if you like and tell us your progress. I also have hyperpigmentation and was unalbe to lighten them with lightening creams. From what I was told, I would have to use a TCA peel to remove the dead skin first, and then use retin-a (tretinoine) and a good lightening cream to help them to lighten and prevent from getting dark.
You such an obvious spammer. That eliminer site looks so sketcy!Quote:

You saw that too right? LOL!Quote:

Hello Nikkicute,
You seem very knowledgeable about skincare. I enjoyed reading your posts. I've always wondered how to dissolve or melt Sepiwhite into lotions and creams. How do you melt it and how do you check the Ph?

Well my funky mmmy kojic acid lotion arrived Friday I took a shower exfoliated well and the lotion is very easy to apply it smells good and you can feel the difference after one use. My skin is very soft! I just hope I start to lighten/whiten soon that will be awesome.
Buy ph strips you can Google search and buy them of the net, after I messed up my first batch and made it to strong I won't mess with sephi white again until I get the correct ph strips to help guide me and I think you should do the same.Quote:

Yes I did mix the cream and I made it to strong and I still have the dark skin pathces to prove it, if your going to mix make sure you follow the instructions well and also that you get ph testing strips otherwise you may do more harm than good to yourself or just buy the cream except the cream is kind of expensive in comparission to buying the powder and making the cream yourself
Hey
I don't understand sorry
Can someone enlighten me on what this sepiwhite is? :S
Thanks
Hi Fairr. Sepiwhite is known to be a good and safe lightening agent made of natural amino acids. Its also known as "SkinWhite MSH" and "Undecylenoyl phenylalanine" is it's INCI name. It works by counteracting the alpha-MSH and inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, they are responsible for our color. I have also read that with continued use, can make the skin very smooth as it helps remove dead skin cells as well. You can buy it online in a powdered form to mix with your own formulated cream but it must be melted first. It is one of the main active ingredients Fair & Flawless use in their products. But they can be very costly, so by purchasing the raw active is a more affordable. Option You can read more about it here What is it: SepiwhiteQuote:

Thanks golden girl your always so helpful!
No prob Fairr, glad I could help.
Beautifulskin the only one that I have experience using that worked and w/ mostly natural ingredients was the makari night cream. But, they can be costly and gives some people breakouts, but it did lighten my melasma and skin tone overall. So, I'm still searching and testing others so if it works I'll let everyone know.
Okay sounds good I actually asked a friend and she recommended one to me that she said is working really well for her so, I think I will order that one and I will let you know how it works for me.Quote:

Beautifulskin and So sexy remember to test the crème on your skin first to see how your skin will react to it.
HI Goldenn girl,
I have'nt found it locally and I can't seem to find it online. Do you now of any place online?

I've called some locals with no results, the only place I've seen that sells it online is Texas beauty... but they seem to be sold out
