When i was younger my skin was much lighter but because i ve been in the sun too much my skin is much darker now. I want to have lighter skin again...but i don't want to use any products from stores...i've heard that they're not safe. I have also heard that you can get skin cancer by making your skin lighter. Is this true?

no, products that harm your skin contain hydroquinone because after long term use, it becomes carcinogenic and can cause skin cancer.. 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 with natural plant ingredients-

- use a high spf (50 or better) sunscreen whenever outdoors..
- take 500 mg vit. C everyday to enhance skin lightening and suppleness..
the above will give you faster and the most effective results.. i've done it.. :-)

you can also get skin cancer from being out in the sun so much, and you've already done that. There are no "natural" ways to really lighten your skin. If you avoid all sun for a few years your skin might lighten a bit, but that's just the way your skin gets darker/lighter in the summer, etc

Try , L GLUTATHIONE CAPSULE- It is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells and tissues against oxidants and detoxify the liver of heavy metals, toxins and alcohol. People taking Glutathione along with Vitamin C have observed that their skin lightens. Dermatologist prescribe Glutathione for its only side effect: whitening of dark skin,

at the neiman marcus stores (or maybe norstroms), they have skin lightening cream, it works slowly but lasts a long time... but it is also very very expensive... it is good for your skin and it works for long time results... or just put alot of sunsceen on your face to prevent it from burning up...

Use fresh lemon juice. Just cut a lemon in half and rub it on. don't overdo it because it contains natural acid.

just stay out of the sun and you'll get paler. Tans fade fairly quickly. I know of no other way to be pale....

a mixture of lemon juice and water. leave it on for 30 mins or so then wash it off. or you could sleep in it over night.
