Ask Me Help Desk - Will I get darker again?

Will I get darker again?

I'm just curious cause I'm in denial if I am getting darker or not, but I have lost a few shades and I haven't been use the Bio Cream + Oil for a while.

Does you skin start to get darker if you stop using it? And I haven't been in the sun at all this summer so that can't be a reason why and If I did I only been in it for 30 minutes and used 70+ SPF.

Thanks!

Well, whenever I stop using the bio claire my complextion gose back darker quick. Or if use it only once a day instead of twice daily my lightening either slows down. Even though I stayed away from the sun and used a strong sunblock. Most lighteners are permanent. But, I know there are some things that are permanent, I just have to figure out what they are... and not mono, I want to maintain a light goldn color.

If you were only out in the sun once for thirty minutes, and you used 70+, then that's your problem right there!! If you want to get darker, then use only 30+, and stay outside for longer than thirty minutes! If you want to get tan fast, try using tanning oil!:cool:

Everything in life needs maintenance, including lightening

I agree. It's learning how to properly balance and maintain... speaking of maintain, I haven't used the bio claire and black soap in the past 2 days and I think I'm like 2 shades darker. But, I'm still using sunblock and I'll have to start back first thing tonight.

Bio clair will turn you darker so fast

Yeah I noticed... all that hard work within the past3 1/2 months dissolved in like 2 days. Now I have to start all over.

What are you using right now?

Unfortunately, I'm still using the rest of my bio claire and using black soap since it's fairly cheap. I don't know what to use next, so I'm still searching. Before that I was using makari night cream and DS papaya kojic soap/L-glutathione soap, it lightened me really light but it costs so much after awhile.

What are you using, any success?

Right now I'm using Likas soap and about 2 days ago I started using fair and lovely. Likas soap has been doing great. I really need something for my arms they have gotten so very dark

Yeah, my arms are dark again too. About 2 shade lighter than last year though, but still darker. I keep hearing about the Likas soap, is it really good? What ingredients are in the fair and lovely? Let me know if it lightens well.

Ill give you the ingredients headed out right now

OK, thanks

I was just wondering why you feel the need to lighten you skin? I think dark skin is beautiful.

It's funny light skinned people always want to be dark and dark skinned people always want to be light.

Let me know what you think of the ingredients, There is one that the owner of the store told me about that is all natural. I choose this one because it is anti marks and it has aloe in it. The owner and I'm not sure who the lady was, but they say they both use the products and OMG there skin is flawless... Her skin is amazing. I'm going to stick with it for a while because it's a product that I can buy locally which saves on S&H.

Yes sweetie iM light skin but trying to be lighter. This is a board of assistance not judgement.

How is that my problem? 70+ SPF is very powerful I didn't get tanned one bit.

Thanks So Sexy For the ingredients. I keep hearing good things about the Likas soap, so I might give it a try. So the active ingredients must be the fruit principle (AHA), vitamin B3 (niacinamide), and vitamin E (tocopherol). I wonder if it's sold in the local beauty stores or if I have to order it?

:p I just noticed a flaw in my sentence, I left out a word. I was trying to say that most skin lighteners are Not permanent, only temporary... especially bio claire. Mono is permanent and completely will depig the skin.

Danielnoahsmommy I agree with you, dark skin is just as beautiful. And if a person (whether light, medium, or dark) is happy with their shade then there is no need to change it. But if someone wants to change it to make them happy, so be it. Everyone's reasons aren't the same. My reason for the change is because I am treated differently.

Hi everyone. I don't know if anyone still goes on but I want to lighten my skin too so I heard different skin lighteners you could use... is bio claire okay for dark brown skin?

No. It isn't good for any skin, will only damage not only skin but also internally as well. There are far better options.
