Hello all,

I had earlier asked a question about my skin becoming so dark and ugly anytime am exposed to sunlight. And I got several answers though. I was told by a friend that I should use a skin lightening product to help my skin remain bright and shiny and she suggested my using 'Clear Essense' product as it contains SPF. But just few days of my using this product, I discovered rashes all over my face and my face looks so rough and ugly, I felt very sad. What could be the problem? Is it because of the presence of 'hydroquinone' in the product? Help!! Help!! Help!!! What skin product will really perform the following in my face:
1) Makes it very smooth and shiny like Beyounce'
2) Will protect my skin from the sun
3) Will not give me rashes and makes my face rough
4) Wil rejuvenate my face and make it look younger
5) Will still maintain my complexion even if exposed to sunlight.

Thanks very much. Am waiting for answers please. God Bless.

You should probably see a dematologist. It sound to me like you have vry sensitive skin. I use a black bar soap that has cocoa butter and shea butter in it to clean my face. It helps give it a nice smooth clean look. Then I apply witch hazel to clean out my pores, and put on a little lotion on my face. I don't use any sunscreen because I love that my skin looks touched by the sun. I love my nice dark complexion! But I do use this cocoa butter stick at night. It's only about $.99 at Walmart. I just rub the stick all over my face and go to sleep with the cocoa butter on my face. I may not look like Beyounce but I look like a better version of myself after following my beauty treatment!

it is because according in the internet, hydroquinone may act as a carcinogen or cancer-causing chemical, although its cancer-causing properties have yet to be proved in humans. Hydroquinone also has been linked with the medical condition known as ochronosis in which the skin becomes dark and thick. Dome-shaped yellowish spots and grayish-brown spots also are observed in ochronosis among black women and men in South Africa, Britain, and the U.S. Ochronosis has been observed in conjunction with hydroquinone use even in persons who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics for a short time. Some studies also report abnormal function of the adrenal glands and high levels of mercury in people who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics.

your skin is sensitive; that's why you reacted to an ingredient in clear essence, but i don't think it's hydroquinone..
results for each individual will be different.. celebrities have a high budget for skin maintenance to keep their job.. sadly, most of us don't have that luxury...
the results that you want will not rely on one product alone -
why don't you try a mild skin lightening soap (nice black licorice soap at http://www.skinbleachingtreatment.com ), high spf sunscreen (choose with mexoryl or avobenzone), and your favorite moisturizer.. these 3 can lighten your skin, protect it from further darkening, and keep it with a rosy glow.

hope that helps better. :-)

You could be having an allergic reaction to that certain product..consult a dermatologist, they could help answer your questions.

Focus more on your inner beauty and the rest will take care of itself.
