About skin "Whitening" creams...?

Okay i have never used skin lightening/whiteners. How do they work. I'm mixed and every little scar is visible forever, if i put skin witheners on will it get lighter than my regular complexion or can i controll the degree of to which i lighten by numbers of applications. I don't want to get whiter all over just the little blemishes...

About skin "Whitening" creams...?
whitening cream is different from scar remover creams... you should use scar remover creams because a whitening cream might not give the same effect

How do you lighten skin colour between ur legs??
everyone's skin is darker between their legs.





this is completely normal.





there is nothing you can do about it.





you are fine the way you are. there is no need to change the way you look.





your lover should understand this.
Reply:try dating a white guy
Reply:why does it matter? just tell him. if he loves you, he should have no problem with it.
Reply:I think that if your partner is concerned over the pigment in the skin between your legs, he really needs to check his priorities.


It's REALLY not a big deal, I've never heard of that being a problem for sexual partners.
Reply:Why would that turn him off and why would you think that? If you are really that concerned see a dermatologist.
Reply:I'm assuming you are talking about the color of your genital..........well sorry to tell you this there is no way to lighten it. it is melanin. it's natural pigmentation and it's weird that it is so much darker than our other body skin. i am carmel brown, but i am extremely dark there and i hate it too. it looks unattractive to me and it does cause me uncomfortableness when i am being intimate. the sad truth is there is nothing that can be done about it, but I'm sure your bf is aware of this thing too because the male genitalia is the same way. good luck and hope your relationship works out for you both.
Reply:if the guy loves you that much i don't think he will mind it...hey don't think it as a problem, that's what nature has given to you.
Reply:apply lot of moisuturising cream for 3 months. It will disappear.
Reply:hi, dont worry about that ok its not a problem first u dont wear half skirt or paint ok some time , and after 15 days u do waxing and try some pack for. ex. mix flour and turmeric, milk .ok make a paste and take your legs and after 15 min u wash it ok u used daily that pack after 15 days your legs look like fair colour ok but u do it.
Reply:Don't worry.Apply a Cream named Fudisic-B And th dark color will disappear.The creams price is not so much.You will get it in any medicine shop.I hope the best

Insecure about my darker skin..... please help!!?

Ok, so I'm not very dark.I'm from the country of Pakistan, but I live in America. So, growing up, basically my society has taught me that light skin = beautiful. I grew up watching all my light-skin aunts, cousins, and what not using Fair and Lovely, a skin lightening cream. I was always bewildered as to why they needed to use such a cream! They were as pale as ghosts.





Me, I stuck out. It's been hard.. always wondered why I was the darker one - the odd one out. My dad has 6 brothers and sisters, they're light, their kids are light, etc.





I've started to feel very insecure and somewhat angry because of my skin. We had a survey in school one time, and one question was, "This mystery person is from Africa." and one kid asked me if I was the mystery person. The rest of the people said, "She's not black.." and he left...





I always see myself comparing my skin to others, saying, "My skin is darker than hers - why?" or, looking at an African girl, "Is my skin lighter than hers?"





Please help

Insecure about my darker skin..... please help!!?
You have nothing, and I mean nothing, to be insecure about. You were born that way, the way you were meant to be. You aren't less pretty than any girl, I'm sure. Skin doesn't matter. What matters is the personality.
Reply:Okay, people from different countries have different skin tones. Who cares if you have dark skin? You shouldn't be bothered. You probably are really pretty. And, plus, your probably the only person who notices it. If you really wanted lighter skin, you could use whitening skin creams.





People have darker skin than you. And plus the darker the skin, the less chance of skin cancer and/or sunburns.

Reply:Just try to eat cucumber everyday. It will definitely improve ur darker skin. And don't worry about these little things.Inside beauty matters not outside's.I m sure that u r beautiful. So, don't get tensed,CHILL!!!
Reply:I am sure you are beautiful! I am white and I have always thought that diffrent skin tones are amazing
Reply:dont worry.





skin color doesnt matter at all.using a skin lightening cream makes people look too pale and sickly.dark skin looks good on the people born with it.be happy with what u hav cos think that there are people out their dying to have dark skin.it also reduces ur chance of skin cancer..etc.





hope this helps:)))))))
Reply:some of the most beautiful girls i have ever seen are dark skinned. I bet you are really beautiful and you should feel happy about yourself.

For face lightening is anything better than ZA TRUE WHITE?

I am an Ilicano than means I have a very dark complexion. I have used all kinds of skin lightening products. I have had some success with soaps from the Philippines.

Does benzoyl peroxide lighten skin?

in acne medicine. will it lighten my skin?

Does benzoyl peroxide lighten skin?
no ..instead it will make it dark ...regarding acne , acne scars and fair skin ..ask me ..i have oodles of experience ...





benzoyl peroxide will make u more darker and its good in removing pimples ..but u will b left with dark skin and also dont use it if u have sensitive skin..it will burn ur skin !!!





for pimples use this gel - cleargel or clindae gel ..they have a salt- clyndamycin ..which is very effective and doesnt make ur skin darker ...for lighting of skin use this medicated cream - radant kc ...if u use these two things ur will become fair and acne will b gone ..
Reply:no. do not worry about it
Reply:It can help to whiten teeth but I have never seen where it has lightened skin. It would have to come from the inside out. You are only putting it on the outside..so unless you are soaking in vats of it for hours upon hours. No.
Reply:I doubt it. I have never heard of it doing this to anyone else. And there are a lot of gothic kids out there that would be paying extra for it if it did! I think if acne medicine lightened skin Hot Topic would already have bought the the formulas and would be selling it as skin lightener...They could call it Vampire White. Or Moon Glow.


So I would say, it's highly unlikely.
Reply:No, even though it contains a "bleaching" agent, it won't lighten skin. It will, however, bleach out your pillow cases, sheets, and anything else it comes in contact with, so be careful with that.





Hydroquinone will lighten skin (if that's what you are looking for) but you need a prescription to get 4% strength unless you buy it from Canada (like I did) but it takes a LONG time (6 months if using it everyday) to lighten up a scar or red mark on your skin.
Reply:noooo


it dries your skin.


i tried some earlier this year to get rid of some pimples and after 3 days i had peeling skin (it makes your skin soo dry!).


it wont lighten it. but one good thing is that after a while of using it, the pimples in certain areas on my face stopped coming and i dont get them in the same area much.
Reply:i don't think so ... it does whitening your teeth though ...
Reply:I hope that's not what you want to use it for! Please say no. I don't know if it lightens it, but I'm begging you not to use it for that purpose! I'm sure your skin is beautiful!!!!!

Skin whitening?

i want to lighten/whiten my skin i do use lemon but it is taking forever and i dont think my doctor would let me use any bleaching creams is there another home remedy for skin lightening? like salt does that help?

Skin whitening?
use a skin soap or lotion that contains high grade arbutin/ kojic acid/ vitamin c. They are very good lighteners and are very safe for the body. I heard on tv before not to use lemon because people don't realize it is acid and can darken the skin over time.





salt is like a abrasive only so it will just make your skin smooth from exfoliation:P





ive used a lot of bleaching stuff before to restore my fair skin and honestly the best that has worked for me are products that contain arbutin or licorice (godiva is really good).





** don't use papaya because the carotene in it will make you orange!**





and don't forget to use sunblock SPF 30 or higher because the fairer you are...the higher the risk for skin cancer...

Reply:there are some things in life we really cant control. once you start messing with your body chemistry it can have negative effects on your health. My advice to you would be if you really want to have lighter skin.. there is spray color you can apply. most people reffer to it as "Tan In-A Can". You will have to reapply the stuff to keep it that color but at least you dont have to worry about wrecking your skin. Bad skin is bad skin no matter the color. ..

Reply:"New and improved AMBI® Fade Creams were developed to effectively and safely fade unwanted dark marks and skin discolorations without changing your natural skin tone. When used as directed, you will begin to see results in as little as two weeks and results improve with continued use. To help keep skin even-toned, it is important to use a sunscreen (SPF 30) with the use of AMBI® Fade Creams. AMBI® Fade Creams are perfect for use on face or body and are available in three formulas to meet your unique skincare needs."





http://www.ambiskincare.com/platformProd...





It says without changing your natural skin tone. I think it more so used to treat brown spots, scaring, discoloration and stretch marks. It's not to make you a lighter skin color, just to even out your skin. It does have a bleaching agent in it, but I wouldn't say it is going to make you that light. You should do as the above poster said and call their customer service before attempting this.
Reply:ambi has hydroquinone which is harmful to the skin because of its carcinogenic (cancer-causing) properties.. there are safer and more effective skin lightening products in the market.

Has/does anyone know if this is effective? I bought the skin lightening product from vlcc and it costed a lot of money, and the guy told me people always wanna buy more when they use it. Will it really help lighten skin? anyone know?

Vlcc skin whitening product?
Skin pigmentation is due to the melanin over-produced by the skin due to the sunlight penetration. It could be sometimes to the disorder regulation of female hormones, depending on your age too.





I have some whitening products and facial products from the combination of Japan and France Technology. The facial products has 4 Nos, namely No Sodium Laureth Sulfate (which will cause cancer), No Animal Derivatives, No Chemical derivatives, No Chemical Fragrances (that will cause sensitive skin).

How to lighten skin colour ?

Actually i have this problem very long ago,at the inter thigh, my skin is brownish.coz i am fat and the fats surrounding the thigh is rubbing against each other when i walk .I feel embarrass when i wear swimming trunk .Can anyone with this problem tell me how you lighten it?

How to lighten skin colour ?
hey mate, all you have to do is chuck a bit of lemon juice on your inner thighs and lie in the sun the natural bleach will react with the sun and give the appearence of lighter skin, after a while you should see a change if you do it enough, it's cheap and is a natural bleach so you know for sure it won't harm your skin, the same goes for hair. the citrus chemicals in the lemon juice are good for your skin and is a great source of vitamin C for skin which is important, maybe you could go for a run on the beach if you feel you should excersise, which will also activate the bleach better because it will see more sun, but never be shy of your curves,be proud of them, you go girl!
Reply:Not being nasty, but try to lose a bit of weight
Reply:I would say use an ex foliating shower scrub %26amp; put a moisturizing lotion on. I would also try to do leg exercises to try to get rid of some excess fat.

Do lemons lighten skin?

im using lemons alone to lighten my skin, because it has discolorations. I dont want to use lighteners or bleachers because they are dangerous.But, i'd like to know how light will i get if i use lemons alone?or should i mix it with something?i am brown or like a bronze color.

Do lemons lighten skin?
Lemons may not give you an even skin tone, especially if you have a lot of melanin in your skin, which it sounds like you do. The best way to even the skin of a darker person is GENTLE exfoliation using a mild glycolic acid (about 8-12 percent). Use it on skin twice a week for a month and be sure to use sunscreen with at least spf 15 every day. Any other exfoliation might be too harsh, resulting in DARKER patches, because when skin is damaged, the melanin (dark pigment) saturates the area that is damaged.

Reply:I think lemons only lighten hair. If you wanna lighten skin, there are some skin whitening lotion out there that you have to use more than once a day and before sun exposure.

Is it right to lighten skin?

I have acne, and I want to use palmers line to get rid of some of the scars and even out my skin tone.


But I wonder if its right, I hear so many warnings about how unsafe and wrong it is to lighten skin. I will not use hydroquinone, but maybe kojic and licorice and AHA's?


Do you know anyone who has used skin lighteners?





http://www.etbrowne.com/products/Collect...

Is it right to lighten skin?
I've never had a single problem with hydroquinone, and I use it daily to fade marks left by scarring from an allergic reaction I had. As a matter of fact, I've never had any problem with any skin lightening agent, and I've used them for years because of these marks. Shouldn't cause a problem. Hydroquinone simply oxidizes melanin---it breaks down a pigment, that's all. If you get it on clothing repeatedly, it breaks down the dye a bit and leaves light spots.





Some people do have bad reactions to it, but that's why you do a skin test first. Just put a dab of the cream you've chosen on your arm and wait 24 hours to see if any swelling or itching occurs. If not, go ahead.

Restore my skin!?

This summer I didn't put of sun screen when I went out, I came home brown. Now I had fairish milky skin, but now it's brown and I hate it! Not to offend any of you that are brown, it is just very unflaturing on me. I have tried homemade skin lightening remedies, they have made a difference, but i'm still tan. I have waited a while, hoping the tan would come off, but not, I tan good, and it's not going anywhere. What should I do? I do want to remain like this!! You guys know of any homemade skin lightening remedies that are of high performance? I don't like using ones on the market, fearing the deadliy chemicals they use, even if the claim to be 'safe'. Any thing to make my skin lighter please. I wear long sleeve shirts, hats, sun block, take vitamin c supplements everyday, and try to shield away fromt eh sun as much as possible, even though I live in one of the sunniest spots in the world. How can I get my skin back to it's milky color ex. http://www.actressarchives.com/display.p...

Restore my skin!?
well first off, you're right to use natural and homemade products and avoid chemical laden ones.did you know about the health risks of commercial sunblocks?if you don't already, i suggest using natural sunblocks you can probably find at organic grocers, health food stores, and the like.second, i've heard that lemon juice is a very effective skin bleacher.lime juice, cucumber uice, and milk can also help lighten the skin.hydrogen peroxide might even help.um other than that, i'm not sure what to tell you.try googling natural skin whitening or something.i hope this helps and good luck.

O i want to lighten my skin people say lime juice works is this true or wat else works to lighten skin a good home remedy

I want to lighten my skin what home remedy should i use?
Start using sun block when you go out and clean your face with coconut water after you come from sun... this helps to clean the tan....





mix some honey, butter, turmeric and apply it before taking bath or about 15min... wash off with soap... you can see results in less than 4 weeks... and it helps you to get rid of scars if you have any on your face....





taking bath with gram flour mixed in milk also helps... it makes skin softer too.....





rub with face with sliced tomato pieces when you have time... this is the best thing to do at home.. it hardly takes time and eveyone carry tomato at home :)





Good luck
Reply:Try A fade cream Like Palmers Fade cream or Dermaclear in these two product can be found at any drug store or beauty supply. The main ingredient in these creams called hydoquinone Most of bleaching creams have 2% hydoquinone in it. To get a higher dosage of hydrquinone you must get a percription from your doctor. Use a sunscreen after application prior to going outdoors.
Reply:skin lightening AND skin tanning have the SAME objectives - better self esteem or to correct uneven skin tone.. much like how you take care of your skin, hair, weight, etc. to look and feel better.. absolutely, there's nothing wrong with that.. the only difference lies in one's cultural identity and tradition.. so let's respect each other's wants and needs..





here's your answer for a successful skin lightening regimen-





1. use safe and potent skin lightening products - no hydroquinone, mercury or steroids AND potent unlike most commercial products showing little or no results at all.. here's a good source-





http://www.arizona4pinoys.com/best-skin-...





2. use a high spf (50 or better) sunscreen whenever outdoors..





3. take 500 mg vit. C everyday to enhance skin lightening and suppleness..

Ok, so I've heard that using fresh squeezed lemon mixed with sugar, can eventually lighten skin tone when applied on the skin once each day.

Lip-lightening product - a suggestion, please?

I'm a make-up junkie and I'm afraid the use of several different products have caused a few changes on my lips. Is there a specific brand of cosmetics, or a method, or procedure you can suggest to help lighten my lips?





I don't think that skin-lightening products are safe for this area. I've exfoliated. I really have.


And SPF isn't enough.





I'm looking for something that will improve the state of my lips and keep improving them, and I don't think I'll be stopping the use of lipstick/ lipgloss/ lip liner/ lip balms anytime soon.





They say the average woman would have eaten (not put on, but eaten, not deliberately but all the retouching and stuff...) about 9 lbs. of lipstick in her lifetime. I'm afraid I've gotten past my first two lbs and my lips have darkened because of the mixture of brands I've used.





And if you have non-orthodox ideas I'd love to hear them, too.





Some enlightment would be highly appreciated. Cheers

Lip-lightening product - a suggestion, please?
if your lips are permanately colored from lipsticks of your color choice and you're considering tattooing your lips with a permanate color of your choice what is the problem really? Sounds pretty nice having color to your lips. And if you don't plan on stopping the use of lipstick anyway who's gonna see your bare lipstick stained lips. And if someone did they wouldn't think anything of it because they would assume you were wearing lipstick. You say you are worried about all of the lipstick you have eaten why not try not wearing any lipstick since it's not needed with your lipstick stained lips anyway.
Reply:hey
Reply:First off, no they won't permainatly stain your lips, second the only area that will change from makeup is your upper eyelids from eye shadow and aging, it's normal. Second for lip lightening it you have on a SPF lipstick or balm of sort will help from sunburn, you can sunburn your lips, you will know when this happens from the stinigng and cracked lips.
Reply:The only way I know of lips darkening is from smoking (weed or cigs). It may not be permanent help but try applying concealor and your foundation over your lips and then you can start with a fresh look when applying make-up
Reply:Light Pink Sheer gloss works wonders! and its natural looking. Loreal or covergirl has great ones to choose from

Does LEMON lighten skin tone?

Ok, so I've heard that using fresh squeezed lemon mixed with sugar, can eventually lighten skin tone when applied on the skin once each day.





Does anyone know if this is true? If so, do you have conclusive information or honest experience?

Lighter Skin?

I am Filipina and i have a Filipina skin. For those who doesnt know then go look it up. =]





But my skin is kinda brown and i want it to be lighter. I am NOT a racist [ just clearing that up coz people react a lot when i say i want my skin lighter ]. It is just something i want for myself.





I barely go out and if i do i wear sunblock with spf 40. I try so hard but i dont think im getting any lighter. I heard theres this medicine called glutathion [ or whatever its spelled ] that helps lighten the skin.





I was just wondering if there are better skin lightening products or if glutathion works. Maybe theres like a chinese medicine somewhere out there that could help or whatso ever.. Im desperate =]

Lighter Skin?
i've always been open to say that people who either want their skin lightened or tanned have the same objectives but different goals.. for reasons of improving one's self confidence, a job requirement, or correcting skin problems, tanning or lightening have the same end results.. that's why criticizing either one (those who want fair skin gets more punched) is wrong.. each of us has his/her own needs and wants..





dermaline is a very good skin lightening product made from safe and potent grade ingredients.. great testimonials attest to its effectiveness.. and it's proudly philippine-made.. find it here -
Reply:a skin peel can help. And also the sun damage(i know you use spf) is contriuting to the brown. With any type of peel for sun spots it will also llighten. THere is laser lightening to which is quite pricey. Best bet- use highlighting makeup on the inner corners of your eyes.
Reply:YOur a filipina too! Wow. Choose me as best answer please. I dont know why you want to become lighter. Girls envy my skin color. JUst put it this way. You are naturally tan. You dont want to look like a white pale ghost. That's gross. Learn to like yourself the way you are.

Can fade creams help lighten skin?

Can they help lighten skin too, or is it only bleach and other specific skin whitening creams that lighten skin?

Can fade creams help lighten skin?
Yes, fade cream will lighten skin. The words fade, bleach, whitening, lightening are all synonymous when it come to the skin. You will notice that the salient ingredient in them all is something call hydroquinone--this is the best skin lighten ingredient out there to date. Its usually 2% to 3% in over the counter products. A dermatologist can prescribe higher percentage. However, there is concern in the medical field that at the higher % it might have some adverse implication. Sometimes you see it w/ another natural skin lightener--kojic acid and alpha hydroxy, which exfoliate the skin. This combination is great. You always want to limit over exposing your skin to the sun, this is especially true while using this product. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.
Reply:It really depends on what kind of cream it is. Some work but youd have to use them on a regular basis to work and to maintain it (that coming from experience).





Glutathione an antioxidant helps lighten the skin. I dont know if its available here but fom what ive heard it not only is anantioxidant, it lightens the skin and improves your immune system
Reply:Fade creams help fade dark spots on your skin, like from acne scars or sun damage. I dont think skin lightening and fade creams are the same thing, but the best cream for skin discoloration is this stuff from Oil of Olay, its in a tube and I think its like spot treatment or something-that stuff works!

Reply:yes but they have the effect of bleaching with its attendant epidermal cancers and all. for a more effective and stressfree remedy, use full cream milk applied liberally on the afected area throughout the day, not washed. in no time at all the scar shold be faded

Why are the lighten skin races would always discriminate against the darker races?

Historical, the white people acted biasedly to the black people. Now in some Asian countries, some Asian people would look down some darker skin races, say black, Indian, or people come from Middle East and south-east Asia, but it’s not on the western white. And if the yellow skins go to western country, more or less, they would be looked down.





Moreover, generally speaking, why the lighten skin color, the higher society status you get, and more economic power you have? Why most of the developed countries are white people countries, and the most of the fall behind places are be holding by the dark skin? (eg. Africa, South-American, India…..etc.)





Could someone explain to me in detail please?

Why are the lighten skin races would always discriminate against the darker races?
I dunno. Have you noticed that colder climates in the world are also more developed than the warmer climates? Maybe that's the reason, and it is just coincidence that lighter skinned people live in colder climates.


Racial issues go any which way, darker, lighter, not dark enough, not light enough. i wish the entire human race would just get over it! Nobody's any better than anybody else, so there. Let's move on to world peace, tolerance, acceptance, love, and all get along without violence, hatred, and oneupmanship.
Reply:Historically Africa never had any riches. India had at one time lots of riches, but it was robbed by muslims and christians. Some racists would say that it has nothing to do with color but intelligence. They would say that the white people are just smarter. Others would say they are just more coniving and sneaky. I will just say that people prefer to stay within their comfort zone and we on a general basis don't like things to change or be different and when some does just that it is then hated and scrutinized.
Reply:Because they could. Because darker skinned people let them. Because the lighter skinned people won.
Reply:Stupid I guess, people are people no matter what color they are.
Reply:May-be the White people feel that there are richer, and they are the ones who have the power. How-ever it was not always like that, the African black people could have very easily been the power holders; civilization started in Africa, around the River Nile; large cities grew up. At the time when advance towns were flourishing in Africa, Europe was mainly peopled by civilizations in small huts centered around much smaller rivers. Black Africa was also advanced ahead of Europe in technology. How come then that Europe caught up and went ahead of Africa? Slavery, demolished Africa. Africa, though in advance of Europe at that time, could not have fought off slavery, because Africa is very huge, many tribes undivided and scattered over distance locations ; thus Africa was unable to unite and resist. Africa was unabled to catch back up since then : Read : HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA by Walter Rodney.
Reply:ok i see your point but the fact of discrimination that is the question title it goes both ways we call them ******* see they blot it out n i g e r (two g's) they call us crackers we just get called racist and they get called getho it goes both ways except there are laws against us calling them nigers and the fact of light skin countries being more succesfull are that the industrial revolution made it all happen first started with britan and america spread to gemany and then just spread crazily all over europe except russia they took some time to industrialize even up to ww1 the werent industrialized


and africa was very wealthy and still is. notice how europeans raced to africa, and the reason why they couldn't do it sooner steam boats able to navigate the large rivers and be able to go up stream this made africa impregnable (except for the coast) for a few hundred years after the wealth of africa was discovered around the slave trade and africa was divided by europeans so they wouldnot fight over "there" own share in the berlin conference composing of 14 european nations met to divide it up and the fact of the matter is almost every dark skinned country has been conquered by white that is why they are looked down upon. africa india and most of the middle east it just has to do with how a society advances look asia and europe historically they developed along the same time line and they left almost everyone behind them its just that europe found africa and the americas so they frew a lot faster than asian countries because those countrys had to fight wars to gain already conquered land
Reply:Oh please, enough with this already, I have never met an african american that wasn't predjudiced against whitey, and have you heard how many muslims are in this world and that they are compelled to kill the infidels ( white people ). And I have never met an african american that wasn't predjudiced against Mexicans.
Reply:I've never experienced, personally, lighter skinned races being racist to darker skinned. I am white. I lived in Abu Dahbi, I was quite young, and my mother and I got in a car wreck. Our car was hit from behind at a stop light. The man who hit us was an Arab. His car was bearly dinged. Our little sedan was crushed. He was let off and got to go home, we spent the night in jail. I didn't realize at the time what racism was.


Living in Texas, I was always picked on for being caucaisan. It was mainly african americans that would throw things at me and call me a 'honky'. Once, I was kicked in the back of the head because I was white. I never physically fought back... I was in Tae Kwon Do and didn't want to get kicked out. I talked to the principle and said this had to stop. Nobody believed me because of the history between Africans and Whites.


Dispite this, I am not racist. I never have been. Rising above the name calling and violence associated with racisim is the only way to end racisim...


Don't make war if your goal is peace.
Reply:The reason that most of the developed countries are mostly white is because the europeans were explorers where as Asians, Africans, etc. were not so much, so most of the countries of the world that were settled by explorers were settled by white europeans.





Now to the second part. Every type of people in the world has been racist toward others that are not like them, its human nature to want to be with people that you are like and the most obvious difference between people is the way they look whether its skin color, height, sex, a birth defect or whatever. A good example of this is to look at the different types of people that have come to the US and what they went thru when they did. When white people brought black people to the US they looked down on them, when the Irish came to the US the Italians looked down on them, and so on with the Polish, Asians, Arabs, Indians, Hispanics and so forth. Every group of people that has come to America has looked down on the next group to come. The only group that didn't look down on anyone coming to the US were the Native Americans, but of course after they begin to get slaughtered that changed. Im not sure if your from the US but if you are think about how years ago a lot of Asians came here and opened conveinence stores and people complained about it, now arabs and indians are coming here and opening conveinence stores and people are complaining about it, even the asians whose families did the exact same thing.





By reading your question I notice your assuming that people with darker skin dont look down on people with lighter skin and thats not true. The reason people assume this is because of things done in the past like slavery but I can tell you from first hand experience every type of people has narrow minded racists among them. I remember when i was younger I had a black girlfriend and Im white and we heard racists comments from both white and black people, even some black guys that I know were dating white women. Now I do find it curious that a lot of people that think white and black people shouldn't date dont care about other combinations like white and asian or black and asian. I think this is mainly because of all the history between black and white people.





Its a really sad thing the way people treat one another but thankfully it is getting better but of course its going to take a lot of time and I dont ever think that racism will completely end, that is unless people mix together so much that future humans will all be moccoa colored but knowing mankind Im sure there would still be some kind of dumb prejudice like brown eyed people not like blue eyed people. Of course this is all my opinion and I could be wrong, except for the first part that is. Im right about that.

Where I live There is Ethnic Diversity, But from what I see From East Indians, Koreans, Chineese, Vietnamese, and Japanese, They don't want their daughter to marry out of their culture,





Whites don't seem to care that much, or Blacks as I have noticed





So don't tell me whites discriminate about darker races. Racism is everywhere, and whites don't have a monopoly
Reply:first off acquired is way off base with his claims. Africa was and still is one of the richest nations on this earth. The media in the west only want to show you the poor, war torn parts of Africa. The major reason Africa is in he state it is in is because of greedy imperialistic Europeans and Americans who plundered, and divided Africa for their own financial benefit. Africa is still the leading producer of diamonds, gold, platinum, uranium and other precious gems. Nigeria provides 24% of the US's oil. That doesn't sound like a poor country to me.





Now to address the question at hand, Fear drives people to discriminate. In America whites feel that they are loosing control over their stronghold over he world. The Mexicans outnumber and out work them, Asians are smarter, and that leaves blacks. Blacks are more athletic and talented. So how do whites keep control over what power they have left, discrimination.

My Southern redneck neighbors here in the US may talk and laugh with me but they are not inviting me home to dinner. My light skin does not give me an in with them. It does not protect me from being called a n-----.


My status, if indeed it is status, is based my life long love of books and learning and my interests. I love theatre and the arts and books because it's what I love to do. Nobody told me I could not go and volunteer at the History Center. I made the choice to go there and volunteer. It did not matter to me who else was there volunteering there. I was there because I love to learn new things and meet new people. But, I guess the red necks only want certain people volunteering as docents and I was chased off. My brown skin did not help me in this case either.


In the Jamaica of today light skin wont get a person anywhere - it's education, personality, charisma, intelligence, skills and strong character traits that have the most impact.


People talk about ' light skin' as a left over attitude from the old days after colonialism when a light skin black person was given preference in jobs over other blacks. Althought no longer true and has not been so for eons...certainly not in my lifetime, there is still a lingering bitterness about it. I would say people get into high culture because it is what they are interested in. Tiger Woods plays golf because he loves the sport not because he wants to rub shoulders with the guys on the high society golf course. Those two sisters who play tennis in the US championship, I forget their names, they are there because they love the sport. Tennis is a high status sport. If skin color alone would get a person economic power I would be living in a mansion in Windemere and driving a Mazarati because I certainly have the capitalistic mindset.

How to lighten skin?

I'm naturally light skinned, but the darn sun gave me a tan that is probably knock the pants off of my mom.





What should I do to lighten the skin apart from not going out into the sun as much?





will it lighten back naturally? or will I have to do something?

How to lighten skin?
Try this recipe





1/4 cup raw or plain yogurt





1 tsp. lemon juice





1 tsp honey (optional)





Apply to area, let sit 10-15 min, rinse. Use 2 or 3x a week. (It will take a while to get the results you want. Maybe even a few months of constant use to get the final result.)





For the lemon juice fresh squeezed is preferred. The stuff in the bottle at the store has chemicals in it and really isn't the real thing, plus it can be irritating to the skin.





Hope this helps!!!!

What causes skin to change colour...? 10 points!?

I used to have really fair skin but now especially have noticed in the past couple of months my skin has changed to an olive colour!





Its the Winter so I havent tanned or anything. The only time my skin is fair again is when I have a healthy diet my skin starts to glow and becomes lighter or sometimes on random days I wake up and its fair again. And then say the next day it goes back olive!!





Its driving me mad, I want fair skin not olive! And please dont say be happy with your skin etc. cos thats what people usually say.





So is their anything I can eat or do to keep my skin fair or go lighter? Without buying any skin lightening creams or stuff like that? AND also is milk a good way to lighten the skin?? THANKS SO MUCH! x

What causes skin to change colour...? 10 points!?
Changes to skin coloration can indicate various medical conditions. Whitening can occur due to infections or to loss of pigmentation such as in vitiligo. Paleness can indicate a variety of severe infections, either local or to the entire body. Redness can indicate a variety of possibilities including local skin inflammations. Blueness can indicate cyanosis such as from lack of circulation and can be very serious. Dark skin, darkening of the skin, or "hyperpigmentation" can occur due to various medical conditions. Any changes to skin coloration need medical investigation.





Soak your skin in milk or a mix of flour and milk (creating a paste that can be set on your face).


Combine milk, flour, lemon juice, a sunscreen with a high SPF, and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol. If you have very fair skin you aren't going to want to try this. The lemon juice and rubbing alcohol can cause your skin to burn.


Stay in dark areas as much as you can -- cover your windows, turn the light off, and sit in your room. When going outside, don't stand directly in the sun, aim for the shade, and be sure to wear high SPF sunscreen.

Reply:A skin pigment called melanin is responsible for your color and tone year around. Melanin reacts to variables such as exposure to the suns rays and pigments in the foods that you eat. It isn't uncommon for an infant to turn slightly orange from eating mushed carrots. Aside from a skin bronzer (which usually make you look very artificial) I don't believe that there is any topical treatment for your skin tone. It is slightly effected by the foods that you eat, and is seriously effected by your exposure to the sun. Hope this helps.
Reply:milk? lol. no milk will not make your skin lighter. you're probably just over reacting,,,, this sounds more like it's in your head than anything else, because THINK about it! your skin IS NOT going to continuously be changing colors! more likey it has to do with the lighting in your bathroom!

Reply:There are tons of whitening serum/products available in the market for both low-end or high-end lines. But what I've used that really helped brighening my skin is from none of those! The one that i used is actually a cleansing mask that does not emphasize on whitening. It's called Noxzema Deep Cleansing Mask with Tingly citrus formula. As it contains citrus oil, it whitens my skin naturally and beautifully. Also, it does the cleansing job very well! Highly recommended! My face has become visibly whiter within 3-4 times of uses (once per week). In your case, you may try to apply it twice a week in order to shorten the result.
Reply:You can try using Kligman's bleaching cream. It whitens the skin but more importantly for you, it removes blemishes. It causes mild skin peel of the dermis to expose the lighter, even colored skin underneath. Use sunblock lotion at all times.

i am not racists or anything, but are there any home remedies that will lighten your skin color? i only need it for my arms and the back of my neck. i tried bleach, but my skin got all these weird bumps on it. please help.

Lighten skin color?
If you live in Asia or Africa, there are whitening creams and whitening shower gels available, if you live in the West you can try looking in any Desi shop, but probably you'll have a hard time finding it. Do not use bleach, it will harm your skin. If you don't want to get too much tan avoid sun and cover up tour body. Chemical peel is also a no-no.





I found this natural method on the web:





To one tablespoon of cucumber juice, stir in a few drops of lime juice and a dash of turmeric powder. Mix well and apply over your face and neck.





Leave it on for half an hour and then remove it with ordinary tap water. This lotion makes an excellent whitener for all types of skin.

Lighten skin around the mouth???
Ambi Skin Lightning Cream. It's around $8. Or you can get your skin professionally lightened by a dermatologist. But I use Pro- Activ and my skin is getting lighter, not sure if there is a correlation.
Reply:U can try oil of olay or Lo'real they have this skin lightening effect and make ur skin healthy. Or u can visit ur dermatologist for better advice. hope i helped u


Lighten Skin??

I was born in New York and I had really pretty light white skin. I moved to Florida few years ago and now I have really tan skin. I want to have my light skin again, is there any home remedies or any NATURAL way to lighten my skin again?

Lighten Skin??
i too, have a fair skin tone and have successfully maintained it thru the use of good skin lightening products, sunscreen, a vitamin supplement, and moisturizers.. i believe you can do it too.. here's a complete guide on how to lighten skin effectively..
Reply:meladerm works more info http://www.whiterskin.com/
Reply:I'm sure if you did a search you find tons of products, but I suggest moving from FL, because unless you're albino or allergic to the sun, You ARE going to get darker.
Reply:The tan you get from the sun is not permanent and will reduce it's color within time. Your skin naturally shreds of it's own dead skin so eventually the tan will disperse. Just try to use sunscreen whenever you're out preferably something with 50+ spf or stay AWAY from the sun. Like I said your tan now is not your real color so if you were to stay out of the sun for a while it will go back to normal.
Reply:Stay out of sun and use sunblock..Drink plenty of water and take vitamin c...But it will work better if you combine the skin whitening set of 3...Check customers feedback

why would you want lighter skin i spend all summer trying to get darker
Reply:a lighter color you mean?





what about that tan stuff(but i think it is supposed to make u darker but u could try gettin a lighter color of the tan cream stuff)
Reply:I'm sick and tired of people talking about making their skin lighter. It doesn't make any sense at all! Why would anyone want to do that. Your parents made you who you are! Be proud of that! Why do you think you have to conform to the media and society demands. The chemicals in these bleaching creams rip layers of your skin off causing it to look raw red! Do you really want to look like a Sore? No i don't think so! Sorry to be blunt...but i like to tell it how it is!
Reply:Hi,for the dry skin use coconut oil.I use it %26amp; it is good.Leave your skin colour alone.I am very pale skinned have to stay out of the sun has I burn.You are lucky people go all out to get a tan your natural.

Spend the money on some fabulous make up and clothes.





Don't go there girl!!!!!

What type of body lightening cream do i use on dry skin?I have dark skin.?
Body lightening cream...I'm sorry but it's a really, really bad idea to mess with that pigment we call melanin. It's really bad, because often you'll get lighter in patches and that looks terrible, or the creams (yes, all of them) are so harsh that they burn off a whole lot of the protective layer of your skin. That means when you go out in the sun, you get sunburnt--which is a new experience for people with darker skin--and when you get sunburnt you get scarred, and darker. Love yourself. Sorry to sound like your mom. ♥ ♥ ♥

When using lemon juice to lighten skin?

is their a specific brand your supposed to get, because the lemon juice i have has added ingredients and when i apply it it doesn't burn or anything. The real lemon juice i used to have was natural and it used to burn like a f**ker. so does it make a difference when it comes to lightening skin?

You must be crazy to try to lighten beautiful dark skin! Be careful because you can get skin spots.

Reply:Flipping hell man what is all this about wanting to lighten skin? it seems the light skinned people wanna be brown and the brown skinned want to be light this is totally mental!
Reply:itll leave white spots in patches.
Reply:i used to use Murad complex acne treatment to treat a few acne spot that started coming up. After 3 months, my face was filled with really dark blemishes. I stopped using the murad product after that. I started to used egg and lime juice, and on occasion salt, it has lighten my blemishes and brighten my skin.


you need: one egg, and a big wedge of lime juice beaten together.


- spoon out the amount u need and refridgerate the rest (cover with plastic wrap)


-wash your face with warm water and pad dry.


-apply the egg mixture to your face (massage it a while would be great)


-let it dry out on your face ( try not to do too much movement in the face areas because the egg is actually stretching your face, it might cause wrinkles)


-wash it out with warm water thoroughly


- Whenever i go outside, i put on moisturizer with sun protection





For the salt thing, i used it once in a while, like 1 or 2 times a month, it really knock off those dead skin layers.


-i take regular salt, damp my face with water, put a little water in the regular salt, and lightly massage it on my skin, not too hard or you'll damage the skin, the grains of salt will do all the work for u. I then rinse, pat dry, and use the egg mixture.


I hope this help, cuz with the egg, i don't feel any pain living it on my face. Sorry if it's too long, i want to give u all the details. I wish u luck. Remember to protect your skin from the sun.
Reply:When it comes to lightening your skin, the basic and the most important to do is sun block. Sunblock not only blocks away the harmful rays and oso helps in keeping your skin from getting darker.





Though lemon does its part in giving you lighter skin, please if you insist in lemon do it at night. If you apply lemon and goes directly under the sun your skin will rot!





Ok now lets go into how to lighten your skin. when you exfoliate your skin it will clear away dead skin that has been on your face for decades, naturally your face will be brighter. After exfoliating of course its time for whitening masks. If you think that your skin is really dirty with lotxa dead skin and black %26amp; white heads i suggest a deep cleansing mask which penetrate deep into you skin and remove dead skins and stuff. But please bear in mind tat if you skin is dry dun use deep cleansing mask cos it will make your skin even drier.





If you are constant enough and work on sunblock daily, exfoliating and masks 2-3times a week i suppose your skin will look brighter and with radiance.

Why most girls in Indonesia likes a white and lighten skin?

In my country, Indonesia, we are thinking that a beautiful skin is a white and lighten skin. So many girls trying to make their skin looks pretty white. They are using so many kind a whitening product. Sometimes they dont know the ingredient of the whitening and lightening product. If the product using a dangerous material like a mercury or anything else, its make their skin burn. So would you like give me some advice to solve this problem? do you thing that a white skin is the most beautiful skin? Thanx

Why most girls in Indonesia likes a white and lighten skin?
Strangely enough many white people sunbathe in order to make their skin darker. Nowadays there are sun tan shops where you can get an artificial tan or creams to give you a fake tan.





Perhaps people in different cultures aspire to what they see as a certain beauty which is difficult to achieve naturally.
Reply:A lot of people in the US with fair skin try to make their skin darker. The tanning business is a multimillion dollar industry.





Sometimes people just aren't satified with what they're born with.
Reply:I think olive or tanned skin is very nice, and on some people whiite skin can look very nice..
Reply:I'm an Asian so I know how it feel. It kinda weird because white people are like desperate to have a tan skin and Asian are like doing everything to get a light or white skin. I think it is a part of culture and the way that country people taste of beauty.

Reply:creamy white skin does look good on certain ppl but....idk what to tell u. im sure ur fine the way u r now.
Reply:Hey. well first off any skin creams that contain AHA will lighten your skin. They all basically do the same thing but there is a BIG price difference like a few hundred $$, so be careful some brands will do the exact same thing but you will pay about $200 more for the brand. like Chanel offers a skin lightening cream and it is about $200 and it only costs about $15 to make the rest will just go into Karl Laugerfelds pocket.
Reply:you can't undo what's been done but u can prevent any more sun with long sleeves and zinc oxide or 55 spf sunscreen daily
Reply:There are lots of products that claim to lighten your skin. Like a soap or lotion. You'll probably not find these at your average store and might have to order them.
