Answer 1

Girl, why on earth would you want to lighten your skin?! Do you know how hard white people work to try and get even close to our color? Your gorgeous! I go to the beach on the weekends and sit out in the sun for hours getting a tan (with sunscreen of course), and people tell me how beautiful girls with tanned and brown skin is. When I was in high school I always stayed out of the sun because I got darker so easy, and now I love it! Be proud of your skin, the grass isn't greener on the otherside honey, I promise.

Some things you can do that are GOOD for your skin, are coco butter lotions, wear sunscreen on your face especially, and eat foods that are high in nutrients like vegetables and fruits. I don't know if you like guacamole, but avocados are WONDERFUL for the skin. You can make an avocado mask, or eating them is good too. Very nutritious. These are also good tips if you have blotchiness to your skin. Helps to even out the skintone.

The reason you wear sunscreen is to prevent your skin from getting wrinkles as you get older. Im 20 and started wearing it, even if I'm only in the sun for a couple minutes on my way to work or the store and back, just as a good habit for when I get more sun. Just put it on as your daily routing instead of lotion! Very easy.

But girl, don't lighten your skin. It's gorgeous. My best friend Noel has smooth dark dark skin, and I envy her because she is so d*mn gorgeous! I love her skin! And all skin like that. Learn to love yourself and your body, because you're stuck with it for the rest of your life. If you take good care of it, and create a good image of yourself in your head you will have a much more enjoyable life!

if you're looking for faster results, then using skin lighteners is the way to go.. there is nothing wrong for aiming lighter skin tone, whether it's for better self-esteem, correcting skin problems or spots.. it's the same objective as skin tanning anyway, only different end results.. here's what you can do -

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-

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

3. 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.. :-)

Well, put sunscreen on every time you go outside. There's also this toner that you can get that lightens you skin, but I don't know the exact results. You can try to get it at a dermatologist. I've also noticed that if I stay out of the sun for a while, it'll get lighter.
