Any natural way to lighten your skin tone? Or maybe some products that some of you already tried and it works

Answer 1

Traditionally in Western cosmetics Buttermilk has been applied and left on overnight to bleach the skin. (Works but does/will take a long time - three months of nightly bleaching). Mashed strawberries as a mask also are said to bleach the complexion.

Yoghurt is the favourite choice in the Middle East. Same application process as the Buttermilk.

(These are mild alphahydroxies that will gently and slowly remove dead cells and correct damaged cells beneath the surface).

Hydroquinine is the bleach most commonly used but really really yucky stuff and I'd recommend you avoid it. Medical evidence suggests that the stuff does vile liver damage! (Sort of like the lead make-up worn by various cultures since man stood-up on his feet!) NB check ingredients and avoid anything with mercury in it - a big selling point in Malaysian bleaching products market, right now.

The Japanese cosmetic firms are the biggest suppliers and researchers into this area - been doing it for DECADES and thus the most reliable. BUT CHECK THE INGREDIENTS BEFORE YOU APPLY!

Sheishedo was highly mentioned in a recent article I read on sun damage & skin/repair care. Dermalogica also has some bleaching products, Decleor too offers a product to lighten the complexion.

3% Hydrogen Peroxide swabbed on at night and in the morning under your moisturiser will bleach a little too. Not a grand skin tonic but generally works. (Tingles until you get used to it and don't use higher numbers!)

Answer 2

One way is to try foundation or powder that's slightly one tone lighter than your natural skin tone, so it will make some change without making it drastic. I've tried Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse, which isn't very expensive and it's pretty good. The color blends easily, doesn't feel heavy, and there are a lot of shades to choose from.

Answer 3

When you mean lighten, do you mean "even out skin tone?" If that's what you mean, try cocoa butter. A great line is Palmer's. It evens out skin tones very well, and helps marks, blemishes, etc. fade. Also, cocoa butter can now be found in many commonly used and made products, such as lotions, etc. For an inexpensive version, besides Palmer's, try Suave.

Answer 4
