Lighter skin. Options

[lovescream]

I have a natural tan and a lot of people love it, but I personally don't like my tan at all. I guess I tan pretty easily, and the sun shines year-round here since it's so hot, dry, desert-y, meaning no clouds to cover up that damn sun. :[

So I really wanna know how I can lighten up my skin to something much more pale without make-up. I think it's just so much more cuter for an asian, lol. Pale skin, really dark hair. ><""

You can try what Michael Jackson did.

Theres detox lotion that you can buy that is supose to make your skin lighter. I cant confirm this cause I've only been using it for like a week... I also heard that bathing in milk is supose to make your skin lighter

Don't go outside? That's what I do and I'm a ghooooost.

Lemons:

Steps:
1. Spray it on. Find an old spray bottle and put lemon juice in it. If you want, add some water. Spray it on your skin and go out in the sun.
2. Rub it on. Rub a lemon rind over your skin. It cleanses the skin.
3. Use it to "wash" your face. Splash it onto your face in the morning the same way you'd use water to wash your face.

Tips:
-If you're going into the sun with the lemon on your skin, put on sunscreen, so you don't get tanned.

Warnings:
-Lemon juice is an acid. Depending on your skin type, it may react with the sun to cause blisters. If it does, dilute the lemon juice with and equal amount of water, and always wash it off afterwards.


Other Options:
1. Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight.
2. Use any good sunblock while going out.
3. Drink plenty of clean water regularly.
4. Watch your diet. Include healthy fruits and vegetables.
5. Wash your face to keep it clean.
6. Use some good skin whitening cream.

Tips:
-Cut a lemon into 2 halves. Rub it gently on your face and neck. Wash it after 10-20 minutes. Doing it regularly will cleanse your skin.
-Using masks made from flour, or finely ground grams [pulses], can make your skin shine. Just add some milk, apply on skin and wash after 15 minutes.
-Milk is a natural skin whitener. Apply milk on your face. Wash it after some time.

Warnings:
-While using any cosmetic product, if you feel irritation in skin, stop using it. Always prefer good skin products.
-Do not use products containing hydroquonine. It has long-term health effects.

LMAO. I agree with her.

Make sure that you use sun-protection before you go outside.

That's not even funny. Michael Jackson had a skin condition called Vitiligo and what he had to do was both a medical and emotional procedure. Imagine being in the public eye for your whole life. The disease itself can be caused by stress or a traumatizing experience which pretty much describes his whole life. So they are in two completely different situations, so no you cannot just do what Michael Jackson did.

...

I was unaware.

Also, breakingdawn, I apologize for that little rant.

Oh it's fine. I'm sorry for not knowing about his vitiligo...I feel stupid now!

lol I tried not going in the sun. If you are naturally and born tan, your skin will get ashey and blotched if you try to pale up by not going out.

A friend told me that Papaya Soap does the trick. I tan easily too. Go here: Asiachi. I haven't used it yet, though.

Oh, my mom uses that stuff & it's works, but she's already pale.

Especially in pictures with flash. (>_<)
