Best skin lightening cream?

The skin under my underarms is considerably darker than the rest of mybody. I am a lighter skinned spanish/black person who burns easily in the sun. Are there any safe, affordable and effective creams to lighten the skin under my arms?

Best skin lightening cream?
avoid skin lightening cream with hydroquinone because they harm the skin in the long run.. try dermaline skin whitening cream and apply on the affected area...
Reply:My guess is to exfoliate your underarm area with a gentle granular scrub and then apply some type of soothing product over it. Usually the skin darkens because it's been irritated. I've used Ambi, on the areas of my skin where there's hyperpigmentation and it worked quickly. A product with Alphahydroxy Acid may help also. I think that Dark Opal carries a product which contains both alphahydroxy acid and hydroquinone (the lightening ingredient in Ambi).
Reply:There is not such thing as "skin lightning" creams the only thing they do is brighten the skin and take away the tan and it probably wont work underarms but i would say scrubbing works other than that i wodnt suggest anything


Skin's Whitening cream?

Are skin whitening creams good for face?!!!!


My brother told me he wanted to try it.I thought he was just kidding,but I suddenly discovered he was serious!Although I'm his sister and I'm not white[not black,but moderate],I don't wanna use these creams!Could someone tell me how much are these creams useful or harmful?


Thanks in advance!

Skin's Whitening cream?
Have you ever wondered how comes so many Black, Asian


and Indian celebrities are all very light skinned? Have you wondered why early childhood photos of many top celebs show a much darker skin colour than they have now?


The official research program for " Whitening Pills" was launched on 7 august 1961by a group of specialized clinical researchers headed by a leading figure in the dermatology research field in Japan. Research for "Skin Whitening" was undertaken with the aim of creating a product that would help dark-skinned individuals to attain a lighter and fairer complexion tone, without using any chemical bleaching agents such as Hydroquinone, which may cause skin irritations that might result in edema, erythema and desquamation.





Indications: Slows down the production of melanocytes which is responsible for the production of melanin pigments giving us skin color.Benefits: Whitens overall complexion evenly including dark underarms and bikini line area.





It is also very good for acne and clears away all pigment marks.
Reply:Yes it actually is only if it derived from papaya. . .it can be found in Asian stores (mostly Filipino) and it is good because it is all natural
Reply:sorry dear.i learnt frm a true beautician that no fairness cream is worth .bcos no cream can fair the skin.but try natures product like drinking pomegranate juice atleast thrice a week.it sure gives u shining face and fairness.try juices it will bring fairnes.gud luck
Reply:do you need papaya whitening soap?this is natural e-mail me if you need 2 buy,from the philippines,


For chronic urticaria Is "technical grade" glycerine safe to use in a skin cream to stop the itching?

I am making a cream using a recipe recommended on the International Chronic Urticaria Society's website.


The recipe is:


2 tsp glycerine


1/2 Cup Eucerin


1 bottle nasalcrom.





None of the big drug store chains seem to sell it anymore. I found a company called The Science Company and bought a bottle. I did not know that there were different grades until the bottle was delivered and the label warned that the product was not for household use

Which is more effective? A foaming facial cleanser or a cleansing skin cream?

I need something that helps keep my skin clear without drying it up.

Which is more effective? A foaming facial cleanser or a cleansing skin cream?
Creams work best for older people with drier than


normal skin.


Use the foaming face cleanser and rinse with


warm water, so that you don't dry your skin.





Always pat dry, never rub.





Use a hydrating toner, without alcohol, before


moisturizing or treating.





I gave more than U asked. Hope this helps.





Take care.
Reply:I would prefer foaming since it will make you waste less..





However, try using different brands. on time you will feel which once suits your face

Where can I find Mere De La Mer skin cream....and is it any better than Creme De La Mer?

I am a freak when it comes to my skin and keep on hearing about this Mere de la Mer stuff..Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy it cheap and if anyone has used it? Any better than Creme de la Mer?....Thanks

Where can I find Mere De La Mer skin cream....and is it any better than Creme De La Mer?
Mere de la Mer is great! I picked up a sample on Ebay about a month ago...There are people selling it on there off and on, just search under the name...Its alot smoother and absorbs better than Creme de la Mer I think...and its cheaper! :) But everyones skin is different...Just my two cents, but give it a try, its about 70 to 120$ for one I think....Hope that helps!

im not being micheal but the sun is ruining me i just want my skin tone back so plezz tell me how to make a lightening cream using home ingrediants.

My used to be a nice medium tone the sun made it dark how can i make my own skin lightening cream w/home stuff
i don't think that's possible. do what i do...just stay out of the sun, esp. in the middle of the day.
Reply:apply coconut water,it works in 3 days. before going to sleep apply olive oil .it will make your skin more fairer and pinkish.this works for me. moreover apply sunscreen 30 mins before stepping out in the sun..
Reply:if u have oily skin, a great option is a mixture of curd and a pinch of turmeric. apply on your face, allow to dry, wash off. do this every morning befor a bath. if you have dry skin, however, instead of using curd, use milk that has been curdled with a little bit of lemon juice. sandalwood is a great option for removing suntan. use a sandalwood face pack with rose water (for oily skin), or rose water and milk (for dry skin) once a week. i like the pack made by shene http://www.geocities.com/sheneherbals...

Can anyone please recommend a good skin cream or lotion for a lady undergoing chemo and radiation treatments?
Eucerin cream is very good. Just remember not to put it on until all of the radiation treatments are over for good. If you put it on and go to a treatment, it will burn her. Also, ask the radiation nurse what she reccomends.
Reply:Aquaphor.

Is it ok to put dry skin cream on your face if you have acne?

I have REALLY bad acne and i have REALLY bad dry skin on my face.

Is it ok to put dry skin cream on your face if you have acne?
NO!!!!!!!! You need a moisturizer that is light wait. That way it still gives you moisture for your face but doesn't make your acne worse.





Dry skin cream WILL make your face a lot more oily and make you brake out more, especially because those kinds of lotions aren't made for the face.





You should try the Mary Kay Velocity face wash and moisturizer. The face wash has helped me with my acne and the moisturizer does the job without adding extra oil to your face.
Reply:yea its okay.just make sure that the cream is oil free and wont clog pores. i got the same problem as u also.
Reply:Yes, it is important to moisturize or else you will pay for it when you are older! Get one that is made for acne prone skin to use at night, then during the day use a natural toner like rosewater or tea tree. Will not irritate your skin, soothes and conditions. Also drink a lot of water to clear up your skin and hydrate.

Has anyone tried IDEBENOL anti aging skin cream from Sovage Labs?

These anti aging creams all seem to say the same thing BUT this one sounds better than all the rest. I do not want to be duped again since the cream is extremely expensive but if it works, it certainly is worth it. Please let me know.

it makes the parts of your skin that are wrinkling peel off in layers, so that then you have smooth scar tissue instead of wrinkled skin


Do colored people use skin cream every day?

I heard that they have to do that so their skin doesn't get ashy. I also hear Robin Quivers mention it on the Howard Stern show. I live in an all white community and to be honest, have only seen a handful of colored people in person.





I'm just curious.

Do colored people use skin cream every day?
"Ashy" is a term used to describe extremely dry skin, however when skin is this dry it shows up as a light blotch on people with dark skin. Lotions or skins creams (which are thicker with heavier moisturizers) help moisten the skin to offset this.





Everyone gets dry skin, but a light blotch on fair skin just doesn't show up (light on light). However, I've seen this on those with extremely red irritated skin.





Basically, you're just using lotions (or creams) to keep the skin from drying out and this is the goal of many beauty products on the market today.





I hope this helped.

Reply:"Colored People" eh? Wow, someone from the early 1900's!!!





Yes, dark skinned people lose their "contrast" when they have dry skin. Just like people with tattoos (ink drawings in the skin, which I presume you haven't seen either), applying oil to the skin makes it more transparent and allows the color of the ink to show through, except in colored people's case, it allows the color of their pigment (brown, red, amber) to show through better.

Mederma works pretty well. It's kinda expensive, but worth it, and i think you can get a coupon on the website =]
Reply:If you are not able to find a good cream that will do the trick, something that will really help that I have had success with is making sure to remove the scared skin layers. And you do that but exfoliating and moisturizing. You really should invest in your skin. If you would like to hear more feel free to email with me. Good luck!!

I use a mask from Origins called "Clear Improvement". It's great for acne, both white and blackheads as well as those stubborn headless pimples. It might seem really pricey, ($20 for a tube) but since you only need to use it once or twice a week (or use it on individual problem spots), it's actually a great investment. A tube typically lasts 6+ months for me.
Reply:proactiv solution works for me. it cost about $40 for a set of four products. but you can probably get it cheaper elsewhere.
Reply:I sell Avon and we have a really good line of facial products...I highly reccomend the Avon Clearskin line...very affordable and works just like the expensive stuff...plus, you can order it online and have it shipped directly to you! Visit youravon.com/remard and look for Avon Clearskin....hope this helps!
Reply:use a wash called "Sal-Ac" which is a salicylic acid wash. ask the pharmacist to order it (not a prescription product.) you can use a low strength benzoyl peroxide wash daily (get at drug store) which will work on the pimples. some dermatology offices sell generic retin-a without a prescription. you could call offices and find out. take Yasmin birth control pills (if you are already on BCP's) and this will help greatly reduce acne.

Sanctuary have changed the products in their range and the Skin Brightening Cream is no longer available. I have contacted Sanctuary and they can't point me to any shop that may still have some. Sanctuary have suggested their new alternative, but it is totally different and doesn't give the same results at all. Any help would be much appreciated.

You could try ebay. Otherwise it would be a case of ringing your local Boots store, asking them to contact their supply helpdesk and see if there is a Boots in the country that has any stock left. If there is, most stores are good enough to transfer the products to your local store.


You won't find it in any other shop, as it is only sold at Boots and at the Sanctuary Spa in Covent Garden.

Skin creams won't do anything except part you and your money. You mention that you're dieting, but are you exercising? If not, now's the time to start. If you are, it's probable that you need to change your routine. Try the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) method of cardio. There are workouts available on the internet.

Skin Cream for dark spots on African American Skin ?
I have people swore that Ambi or Nadinola cream works great and you can find them at any drugstore or mass merchandise retailer. You can also try some home remedies too. Try soaking a cotton ball in either lemon juice or buttermilk, then dabbing it to the affected area for a couple of weeks. Those dark spots should disappear.
Reply:Ambi skin cream is good and you can find it at most drugstores.


Only use it if you rash is gone, though.
Reply:Try Fade Out cream. It's a British product but you can get it from Amazon (link below).





There's full info on there and it usually works in about six weeks but you'll have to make sure the rash/irritation is gone as you can't apply it to broken or irritated skin. Plus, as with any product, make sure you're not allergic to any of the ingredients.





I hope you get the skin tone you want for the summer!
Reply:The dark spots are the result of dead skin left behind from the rash and scratching. Yes bleaching cream can work but it will only lighten the dark spots not get rid of the dead skin. Try gently exfoliating the area with a loofah, add lemon juice to soap. The citric acid will help lighten the area as well as buff off the dead skin. Keep the area moisturized with a cream, as for the rash to calm it if it returns all you need is instant oatmeal. Slather on the oat meal before bathing, it calms the skin and reduces redness and itching.

If it's scars you can always try Mederma. I've been using it on some dark spots that I have and it seems to be helping already.
Reply:Just try a good mosterizer.

There is one, I think by Physicians Formula, that works great when you put it on first, then your matching concealer (base) over it.





I have a scar I cover in pictures this way (not an acne scar, but still a discolored scar), and it works great!
Reply:The lightener will only lighten ALL of your skin so that the scars don't show as much. There are tons of different ones out there, like porcelana.





Better than that is to wait until your acne treatment is done and have a laser resurfacing done. It will even out your skin tone.

Reply:go to a dermatologist and see wat is a good presription
Reply:Lightening cream bleaches then skin and may make the scar less noticeable, but it won't remove the scar. Were you prescribed the gels from a dermatologist? It so you may want to ask him/her about treatments that will remove the scars.


Try microdermabrasion or facial peels. You can have it done at a good salon or day spa. They will also help with your current acne. Also, Olay carries a home-microdermabrasion kit that is great! You can get it at Wal-Mart for about $20.
Reply:I use something that takes away the old acne spots. Scars, or just a darker patch of skin due to repetitive acne. Its called Neutrogena Advanced Solutions - Acne Mark Fading Peel with CelluZyme.

Would it be harmful to use this product?

Is it safe to use Porcelain Skin Whitening Cream ?
Absolutely...although all skin types are different so make sure that you pay close attention to your skin when you being use and if there are any signs of problems...discontinue use immediately. Although Porcelain is a major advance in skin lightening, as well as a safe and effective cream for age spots, freckles, unevenness of color and other discolorations of the skin. Enriched with oils, natural sun filters and botanical fruit extracts, Porcelain Skin Whitening Cream helps to leave your skin nourished, protected and completely balanced. Hydroquinone-free formula.


What is a good skin care cream ?

I have white spots on my face so I usally have to always wear foundation, so I want to try to use some really good night cream, does anyone know of a really good one. Something that could make my skin on my face look healthier over time.





Thank you in advance, Casey

What is a good skin care cream ?
"There's certainly no harm in using a pricey night cream, but I urge my patients to realize that they're often really paying for beautiful packaging, yummy smells, and that daily feeling of pampering.





And there's nothing wrong with that! When it comes to clinical benefits, though, there's no reason to believe that you have to pay big bucks for effective ingredients. In fact, consider the other side: Large cosmetics companies (the ones you can find at your local drugstore) actually have a larger budget for research and development than smaller operations.





Contrary to many products' claims, there is also no evidence that your skin goes through special rejuvenating processes at night that it doesn't go through during the day."





i would recommend a dermatoligst they will prescribe to you what you usually couldnt get over the counter and sometimes foundation only makes things worse.

Reply:Garnier Nutritioniste is a really good cream, and it leaves my skin feeling really soft. It doesn't leave it oily. Over time, it should make your skin better over time. It's a moisterizer found at probably any drug store and walmart.
Reply:Hey Casey





I find that using Noxema helps with alot of the face problems, esp. acne, dark circles, etc.
Reply:Oil of Olay Regenerist,


Also use Apricot Scrub before applying.


The trick is rub the apricot scrub into your skin WITHOUT WETTING IT, then use a HOT wet rag to wipe away the scrub. It will help with the spotting. I had a problem with that too. Mixed blood. Ya know. Anyway, I hope it helps.
Reply:i use skincerity- has really faded some brown spots i had and smoothed out my skin and instead of make-up i use laura mercier's (sephora) primer- that makes pores small- and her tinted moisturizer with spf 20- I love these products- good for the skin too!

I've heard so much about this skin-remodelling cream that it can actually.....?

gradually help the skin to "fill" the pits caused by acne (insufficient collagen and skin tissues). Are any of you using such cream and is it effective? Which brand or by which doctor is the one that gives the most reliable results? I was told there may be a slight tingling feeling on the skin for first-time users and for those with senstive skin.

Is olay whitening cream working? i wanna get my true skin color back in 5 days, can anyone help?

i gotta go for my best friend's wedding next week and i wanna look gud... my skin has got tanned due to sun recently.. and look so dark now.. how can i get my normal skin color back so soon?





and has anyone tried OLAY skin WHITENING cream? is it working? NOT THE ANTI-AGEING CRAME

Is olay whitening cream working? i wanna get my true skin color back in 5 days, can anyone help?
Olay as well as any other 'whitening' cream works over a few months. If it's just a tan that is causing your skin to be dark, then I would suggest using a gentle exfoliating wash. An inexpensive one like St. Ives almond scrub will work, but make sure to use just a little bit mixed with a lot of water since the almonds can scratch your skin. You might also try using a peel off mask a couple times a week. Most of all use sunscreen!
Reply:5 days might not be enough to see results because unlike skin tanning that can be done artificially, skin lightening involves skin peeling which takes place maybe 3-7 days after you start applying the skin lighteners.. you wouldn't wanna go to your friend's wedding with a peeling face, would u?.. might as well do it after the wedding so u have enough time..

Is there any skin whitening cream available in US?
Hi there. This site is very affordable one and very good quality stalder products. Most of the Philippine celebrities use the same brand. Skin whitening set of 3 you can get it for just under $30 thats a good buy...They sell different kinds of whitening bars of soap and in fact they are always sold out as their products are always on demand...Try the kojic acid soap or black whitening soap and whitening lotion and whitening cream.


Check this site out and read the real customers' testimonials and see what you think...

What's a great skin bleaching cream?

I have an issue with some parts of my body being darker than others and want to know if there's any bleaching cream that will give me actual results and an even skin tone. And also does anyone no of any cream that will get rid of stretch marks?? I have a problem with that on my "gluteus maximus" and thighs even though i have a petite body. Any good information would help :)

What's a great skin bleaching cream?
I know of a fast and affordable resolution for anyone who wants lighter skin or who wants to lighten darkening areas such as the elbows, armpits, knees and also acne marks. I use a product by Diana Stalder. Her products worked a miracle on my stretchmarks, ugly dark acne spots, dark elbows, buttocks and knees. I use the Papaya Kojic soap and whitening cream. I have to say that I saw visible results within 3 days and full results within 2 weeks. The Black Licorice soap she sells works well too but in my opinion the Kojic soap works faster and better but everyone is different. I would try both soaps to see which one works better for you. For best results get the set of 3 which consist of a soap of your choice, whitening cream and lotion. I promise if you use this product your skin will be flawless and even toned. I have used everything under the sun and nothing ever worked for me but I can surely say this stuff actually works!

Nair senstitive skin face cream?

ok so i use that cream and i have senctitve skin and when i wait like 5 mins and i wipe it off with luke-warm water when i wipe it i feel this burning senstation and i dont know if this is normal and then like after i wipe all of it off it still has some hair and i put more on and do the same thing and after i rub it it has like this red mark from where i rub it and i dont rub it hard and like the next day it has like a red rash and it starts to pell (whcih is doing rite now and i didnt do it today i did it yesterday nite and all the hair grew back in already) and it says up to acouple weeks the hair will grow back in. %26amp; sometimes after i wash the cream off my face starts to bleed like where i rubed it off with a wash cloth with. %26amp; i dont know what to do i dont want this rash burn to be permenet.Becuz it has been like this for acoupel months now since i been doing this a lot. i really want to get rid of my hair on face but i dont know what to do. and i dont want to go to the doctor!

Nair senstitive skin face cream?
Okay hon thats called a chemical burn. That's not good! First of all, make sure you are using Nair that's specifically made for facial hair.


Now, wait until your skin has fully healed. Then, instead of doing it twice (since you said the first time it doesn't remove all hair) try leaving it on a little longer for only ONE application. A good way to test if it's working is by using a damp washcloth to see if the hair is gone. If you still see hair, leave it on a bit longer, but don't exceed the maximum amount of time! If you do, that will result in more burns!


If the hair still isn't gone, wait a few days, then try waxing it. It is more effective since it removes the hair all the way to the root. Nair removes the hair only from just below the skin's surface, not to the root. Think about it, guys have to shave every day right? You probably don't want to have stubble on your face every day, and its probably not a good idea to use harsh chemicals daily. Try waxing, its not as scary as you think, and hurts less than a chemical burn.

Reply:As far as I've seen, skin lighteners aer not too wise of a choice to use on one's skin. They make the skin's pigment become blotchy and uneven. The skin tone becomes distorted and uneven.


If you want your skin to become lighter, try to avoid staying in the sun, otherwise use a strong and effective sunscreen. Skin becomes darker when it is out in the sun because the UV rays from the sunlight bring out melanin, a dark pigment in your skin that protects against UV rays. This is how most people get tan...so, stay out of the sun, and the prescence of that pigment will be diminished. I doubt that you will be copletely white, as you ae naturally darker toned, but you will have a lightened complexion!


I am not quite sure why you want to lighten your skin, because I bet it is beatiful. Remember that many would kill to have dark skin (as would I), and that you need to accept this part of you. Dark skin is so pretty and striking, and you can wear ANY color and ANY makeup!!! You are so lucky!
Reply:You seem to have problems with self-love. Wanting to lighten your skin to me sounds like you have a negative self image. Don't you know that black is beautiful. You should embrace your skin color and not try to change it. Your skin was probably beautiful to begin with, now it is all discolored and blotchy all over. To me that would look very unattractive. You need to quit while you are ahead and hope that your skin goes back to its natural hue. Are you from Jamaica or Africa? I hear that is a big issue in those places. Get over it, God made you that color for a reason, live with it and love it.

Reply:no cream will give you an even skin tone,,as the thickness of your skin is variable across the whole of you body,,this is why your back isnt lightening to the same tone of your chest - the skin on your back is 5 times the thickness...also if their leaving your skin dry and itchy you shouldnt be using them as,,your just going to end up with patchy skin which is irrepreble
Reply:For whatever skin goal one is into, skin lightening and skin tanning are both inclined on the same goals - status symbol, health, beauty. In the present days, skin lightening and tanning aim to give solutions to skin problems for better jobs, even skin tone, or higher self esteem.





Although skin whitening is more criticized in the United States than skin tanning, fair women would still be more noticeable than bronzed whites visiting Asian countries. Whatever the skin preference is, the only difference lies in someone's cultural identity and tradition.

Pregnant women and skin bleaching cream?

Hello,


I usually use Obagi #3 Clear (skin corrector cream) w/ hydroquinone, but I recently found out that I am pregnant and I stopped using the cream because I was afraid that hydroquinone might have a negative effect. Does anybody know if hydroquinone is not recommended for pregnant women? Can anybody recommend a skin bleaching/lightening cream (for hyperpigmentation) that is safe to use on pregnant women? Are kojic and glycolic acid safe? Can somebody please let me know what is safe and good to use while pregnant? Can you please give me a specific product name because I really want to purchase one? Thank you so much in advance for your help!!

Pregnant women and skin bleaching cream?
I also use Obagi and have worked in the field for many years. The answer is no, you cannot use any of the steps except for #1 (the cleanser), #2 (the toner), and #6 (SPF). A natural skin lightener that you can use while pregnant is phyto (Skinceuticals makes one). It is always smart to ask your OB as well, but that is what we recommended for our patients at a couple different Plastic surgeons offices. Hope this helps!

Reply:Hydroquinone's really bad for your skin you shouldn't be using it any way if you really must use a skin bleaching / whitening whatever you wanna call it you should look for one without hydroquinone and with as many natural products as possible. That way it'l be better for you and your baby if you still wanna carry on using it while your pregnant. This is one that doesn't have any hydroquinone :

Reply:Check the package....if it could cause any sort of harm to a pregnant women, there HAS to have a written warning. Also, you could call your doctor and double check. Oh and search around online for a list of safe and unsafe products. I know rule of thumb is that any chemicals soaked into the skin can cause as much harm as a medication ingested, so I would double check with your doctor. Good Job being careful!

When I saw a dermatologist, she prescribed Solaquin, another hydroquinone product.





But I guess for non-prescription for healthy skin (please note that your skin should be relatively healthy and free from scars and open wounds), lemon juice works great. It's a natural skin whitener. I just sit in the bathtub, cut a lemon up into slices, and place them over my face and let the juice run.





From Pure Medspa, you can also get the 'Skin Vitalight'. It's a small white tub about the length of your hand and the golden lotion inside smells delightfully fruity. It's supposed to help your skin lighten also. It's great! Gotta use it diligently, though.


Skin lightening cream or soap?

i'm black and my skin gets REALLY dark in the summer...do you know of any skin lightening soap or cream that is sold over the counter that will make my complexion pretty and light? thanks soooo much





i understand that black is a great color, but i just don't want to get too dark..its not pretty to me

Skin lightening cream or soap?
I turn a dark bronze myself and I avoid the sun like the plauge, i highly recomment using the highest spf sunscreen available. I went to Orlando last year and used one and did not turn one shade darker, whereas I tan in 15 minutes cutting my grass. If you need to lighten dark knees and elbows for example, black soap has helped me tremendously and you use it in the shower everyday and you will notice a difference after a couple weeks or so. Good luck! myspace .com/takihendrixmusic
Reply:yeah, just use ALOT of sunscreen. use it like it was body lotion, and put it n after every shower and before u leave da house =]
Reply:You should try, ashe' skin lightening cream its from india and it can be used anywhere on the body it contains multi-vitamins and also collagen. Or if you would like to go herbal you can try saffron powder which you can purchase from any indian shop. the formula is saffron powder or 'hardi' then mix it with a little lime juice and milk. This is a skin treatment to lightnen and cleanse at the same time. Leave it until it forms a mask or crust on the skin then gently rinse off. Good luck from your friendly Beauty Advisor Shelly Bridgelal of Trinidad.
Reply:Black is beautiful...but hey, what do i know eh? You see, the tricky thing about skin lightening/whitening soaps and lotions or whatnot...they tend to be dangerous. You'd think that ppl would learn from the Romans (who use to apply mercury to their skin to lighten it)...that if it caused nerve damage and skin abnormalities then...chances are...it still does!





Anywho, if you want to keep your skin from darkening any more than it naturally is...you might wanna limit/avoid exposure to the sun. 'Cause, even though sunblock protects you against the damaging effect that the sun causes (aka photo aging, cancer, etc...) it doesn't prevent tanning. It just doesn't cause you to bake as quickly as if you went out without protection.





If you're not happy with how dark you are by the end of the summer...or you just want to prevent some of it from happening. Just use a lotion with AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) or Vitamin C...or even both (if that exists) It's natural...and it's safe. If you want to find out more about why these two ingredients would work...Google it. Peace.

Reply:whether you use soap or lotions or creams, they all work depending on the ingredients and how your skin reacts to them.. there are skin lightening products sold online that have hydroquinone or mercury and you should refrain from using them because they can cause skin cancer..





papain extract, licorice and kojic acid work best and are safe for long term use.. they are derived from natural plant ingredients.. if you want more information plus tips on how to achieve your goal right, i found the right products here -


Skin ligthening cream/ fade cream?

hey guys





i was wonderin if anyone knew any skin lightening cream in stores that are in canada?





i have to talked to my doctor... he said before buying the product i have to show him to make sure it is safe.





so please help me!

Skin ligthening cream/ fade cream?
I'm not sure if there are any stores that sell skin lightening creams in Canada, but I can tell you for sure that Makari is so far the BEST brand to lighten your skin and give it an even complexion.





But you have to buy it online though through their website, and it's a bit expensive, but well worth it. The contents aren't a lot, but you won't be needing much anyway; a little goes a long way. =)





They do not contain any harmful products commonly found in cheap whitening products such as hydroquinone, other harmful bleaching agents, etc.





They are all 100% natural.

Dry skin, what cream do u recommend me?

Hello guys, i have dry skin, i need a good cream to use in my skin, what would a proper cream for me?I'll be grateful to you if u guide me with a good cream.Thank You.

Dry skin, what cream do u recommend me?
Try a cream called Amlactin. My dermatologist recommended it for me once. The site listed below will tell you a little bit about the product. You do not have to order it. It can be purchased in your local drugstore. It has what your skin will need to help regain and keep its moisture. Oil of Olay or Jergens or even vasauline will not have what this lotion will contain to help your dry skin.

Reply:Use any kinds of moisturizer, plus drink lots of water.
Reply:Olay Beauty Fluid.





Light, but works well. And reasonably priced.
Reply:im no expert at what to put for dry skin cause i have clear skin but i would prefer vaseline advanced healing
Reply:well my brother uses lubriderm daily moisterizer cuz he has dry skin too and he says its works good. its also unscented which is i guess good for guys
Reply:For your body use: Olay Quench Body Lotion


(you can purchase it at the drugstore)





For your face use: Dove Moisturizer


(this can also be purchased at the drugstore)
Reply:I have super dry skin because of swimming but eveyday i use Vaseline Intensive care. Not the big goopy stuff. But the lotion. Put on a good amount at night and in the morning everyday and if you are consistent with any lotion ,it works.
Reply:get a cream with vitamin E in it, it really helps to keep ure skin clear and soft, if u r short of cash for a posh make, Holland and Barret health shop do a very good cream- its baige with a green top and its very cheap, its good although the paketging isnt 2 encouraging try it. its natural and doesnt give u any rashes or anything, u can use it anywheer on ure body.

Reply:hey Shafat,


Use nivea creams or any kind of petroleum jellys from vaseline.. It will really help you...It did me a lot of good...





But i couldnt but stare at your details and break a piece of laughter...How can people guide you with cream.....lol!...people can guide you by mentioning some cream and not by the cream itself...hahaha....just kidding....
Reply:Try some Ponds cream.
Reply:well, if you have eczema, i would recommend CETAPHIL, it's a general brand that sells lotion and cream for this type of skin condition. it is odorless, as to not interfere with sensitive skin, and pretty thick.





if you are looking for just smoother and less dry skin in normal skin, i would definitely recommend Neutrogena Body Moisturizer. it seriously makes your skin smoother the very next day, though it can be a bit pricey.





good luck!
Reply:You know what is good? Olive Oil! It makes your skin supple and soft. It will be oily when you apply it but rub a small amount into your skin and as you use it you will see the difference in one or two days.


If you don't want the oil get you some Kerri lotion or Nivea lotion/cream. My brother-in-law was in the army in Vietnam and he came back dry and crackly. My sister use the Kerri lotion on him and he is moist and smooth like a babies behind.

Skin discoloration cream?

I just got a skin discoloration cream from avon. I was just wondering if these types of products really work (not the exact brand, but skin discoloaration cream in general) and if so.. how do they work?

skin discoloration creams are skin lightening/fading creams.. they fade the hyperpigmentation or dark skin spots


Combination skin with cream blush, also best lipstick brand NARS?

I have combination skin and although powder blush is suppose to be the best for my skin, I find that cream blush looks better. It makes my skin look more natural and smooth, while powder highlights all the flaws. What are your opinion with powder and cream blush. I'm also trying to look for a bronzer this weekend, and it doesn't seem like MAC has it for cream. I'm also looking for a good moist nude/hint of gold or peach lip stick, would you recommend NARS lipsticks?

Combination skin with cream blush, also best lipstick brand NARS?
If cream blush looks better on you, wear cream blush. I have combination skin, and I wear cream blush and powder blush, sometimes together. Bottom line, wear what you like and what looks good. I can't help much with cream bronzer, except to say that Lancome and Estee Lauder are the best high-end makeup brands I've ever used, and I've tried just about everything. The nude/peach/gold lipstick you're looking for is Nars Orgasm. It was made to complement the blush of the same name. It's actually a gloss, but I think it's exactly what you're looking for.
Reply:NARS = amazing. I personally cant stand MAC. it does a number on my skin. For foundations and powders i go to perscriptives they match you perfect for your skin. bronzer and blush i go to chanel. i have a powder/cream mix for both of them and i have combo skin too.


A good EYE CREAM?? skin care help please!?

Anyone know of a good anti-aging eye cream that 1) has SPF protection, 2) smoothens lines, 3) brightens dark circles (if there's such a thing...), and 4) De-puffs?? I really need something better than what I have to improve the skin under my eyes....college has aged me quite a bit!!! :-(





please let me know what brand you like, where you can buy it, and what it does for your skin under your eyes. Thanks!

A good EYE CREAM?? skin care help please!?
there is a product at bath and body works. i can't remember the name actually, but i tried it in the store and there is immediate results.. especially with fine lines and brightening your darkness... everything they have usually has spf in it too.. but i'm not sure about the puffiness..





if you can't end up finding one for puffiness, get the bath and body works stuff and do a home remedy for your puffiness like tiny ice packs or something.. good luck! :)
Reply:I like Oil of Olay with the sponge on top to exfoliate the skin under your eyes.
Reply:The BEST ( and you can even look this up) is stri-vectin. It is expensive but it works great and the small container lasts for over a year so it is worth it. Victoria's Secret website sells it or you can get it at Sephora, etc. Google it.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:


Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water %26amp; stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath %26amp; let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off. Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K %26amp; Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

To hide dark circles, you can use YSL concealer or salmon concealer..

Whitening cream(skin whitening)?

Can anyone suggest a safe skin whitening cream that works I am using Sure white now is that safe?

Whitening cream(skin whitening)?
you have to be very careful with skin whitening creams. i've used one for about a week, the palmers one, %26amp; it broke me out in a rash when i used as directed. it said use twice a day %26amp; i did but now i have to cut it down to every other day. i do notice a difference when using it though, but make sure you wash your hands after use.
Reply:Any product containing hydroquinone as it's whitening agent is generally considered safe. It should not be used on damaged or irritated skin (including sunburned and chapped skin), and sunscreen should be worn. It should not be used with products containing any sort of peroxide.
Reply:I havent used sure white so I don't know how safe it is.





products with licorice whitens your skin. licorice minimizes the formation of melanin that causes skin discoloration and after sometime replaces your skin with a lighter one. you may want to try godiva products. I've used some and effective. it must be used religiously and you must protect your skin by using sunscreen all the time. licorice is proven to be more effective than hydroquinone, kojic acid, and melawhite.

What is a good, all-natural skin cream for dry skin that isn't too expensive?

By "all-natural" I mean NO CHEMICALS AT ALL. I'm asking for my mother because she has been using skin creams with chemicals in them for years and I want to find her at least one that doesn't have any chemicals in it, and one that doesn't cost a fortune to purchase either.

What is a good, all-natural skin cream for dry skin that isn't too expensive?
coco butter is great and natural. u can get a BIG bottle at walmart for like $3.
Reply:avveno, or cetaphil are very good.
Reply:You asked a technical question so I have to give you the truth.





The truth is there is no such thing. Every chemist, physician, dietitian, etc will tell you that even foods are made up of chemicals. Maybe you mean natural occurring chemicals. You can make your own. There are many books which will tell you how to make them.





Chemical are not bad. The next time you get a strep throat and you are sick and in pain forget that penicillin. Just use only the natural (bread mold) and see how you feel.
Reply:I have extremely dry skin too. What I have learned is that most products marketing commercially use oils that simply sit on thesurface of the skin and do not penetrate below the skin.





I found a product last year that I have used ever since. It's 100% natural and VERY resonable. It's a blend on Shea Butter and Emu Oil. It has literally clearned the dry patched around my nose and even on my feet.





It wont hurt to check it out. http://www.emushea.megamarketing.com





Hope this works for you!!
Reply:OK, first of all, there is no such thing as "all natural" products unless you make them yourself in your kitchen. As an esthetician I have seen just about every face line on the market. I agree that certain chemicals should not be used in products, I also think that "all natural" isn't the safest either. Look at this way, poison ivy is all natural but you wouldn't use it on your skin. The products I use are botanically based- also VEGAN, but do have a tiny amount of preservative in them to make sure bacteria doesn't grow inside the bottle/jar. The bacteria that grows can cause more problems than the chemical used.





Just like the organic food in the grocery store, "natural" costs more because all the crap cosmetic companies use as fillers is CHEAP. You get what you pay for.





Also be sure to ask if the company has a history of animal testing or uses animal by-products in the formulas.
Reply:native americans used to crush up straweberries and rub them on their skin, leave it, and then wash it off. it does work miralce if you have the time. plus! it smells lovely.

Is the egyptian magic skin cream any good?
don't buy skin lightening products with hydroquione, mercury or steroids.. they harm your skin big time after long term use.. kojic acid or licorice are the ingredients to look for.. and they should be potent enough to show you results, not like commercial products you usually see online..





here's a good source of skin lightening products -

This Question is for everyone but mostly for girls. Is there anything wrong for a guy to take care of his skin by keeping it smooth and damage free and keeping facial and hand cream with him all the time weather he's going to college or office or hitting bar or mall or anywhere.

No. Good skincare is a must. My son is 16, and I'm teaching him to moisturize after shaving, every time. He doesn't like body moisturizer, but he'll use it when his skin is dry.

I have done some research and I am trying Strixaderm right now. It is not as expensive as the other department store cosmetic brands, check it out on the web. Actually, it is a body lotion but I use it on my face too. They also have something for the eyes area. Before I put it on my face and eyes area, I tried it on my butt first and it worked. Good luck!

I'm not sure if it would work for your brown spots, but I use lemon juice on a cotton ball to lighten freckles on my face.
