Can you get whiter skin?

RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By Sandra (Guest Post) (09/03/2008) I would highly recommend the SW+SS soap as well. I am a dermatologist and after using and thoroughly examining many of the available soaps in the market, I found SW+SS to be the one that strikes the best balance between being safe and producing the best results. I got mine from their online shop: http://www.theswisscare.com/online-shop.html They have a special offer on their ebay shop. Click on the ebay logo on thier shop and go to their ebay shop. They have lots of special offers there Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By derm (Guest Post) (08/24/2008) Your skin can become darker if you are overweight. This is a condition called Acanthosis nigricans. Acanthosis nigricans is most often associated with obesity. Eating too much of the wrong foods, especially starches and sugars, can cause insulin resistance. Lose weight if this is the case and eat healthy foods only.

I was researching how you can make your skin whiter so the answer is either ask Michal Jackson or vitamin C, drink lots of water, bathe in hot water, or cold. I'm not sure on that one.

But my face goes red really easily, and I hate that. I want my skin to be even lighter, cause I love really white skin, especially on my face. My cheeks are nearly always a really light red its kind of pinkish. is there anything that makes your skin whiter and possibly gets rid of any other color. I just want it fully white.

As for products - every morning apply a 4% base hydroquinon cream with sun block. Every night apply the hydroquinon cream and finish off by massaging bio oil. do that for 1-3 months and you will notice a difference. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

Post By DBB (Guest Post) (06/21/2008) HI, I'm Catalonian (Europe). I am Caucasian but in my childhood I used to go swimming in the sunlight very much, and in the summer, my skin could achieve a high tan level. Now I'm 21, I'm a model too, I've read about one around here, and I agree with her, fashion is ruled by white skinned girls. As I grew up my skin lightened, and if I avoid sun I have a medium skin, clear in the winter, but in the summer my face and hands are quite more tanned, I avoid the sun as much as I can, I've even bought a pair of summer gloves. I'd like to enhance my light skin. I'm gonna try the SW + SS soap and I'll also use "BIOTHERM Serum detox whitening", and anti spots cream of GUINOT. I take an overdose of vit C daily and drink plenty of water. I'll tell you if that works. By the way, where can I buy SW + SS soap? Report Spam or Abuse Can you get whiter skin?

P.S. GOD BLESS YOU ALL and be happy the way you are and always remember that there is someone out there suffering from worse blemishes and are much unluckier than you are.

It is only dangerous on darker skins. Beware of going on the wrong contraceptive pill, as it can cause brown spots. and to all those who cannot understand about skin lightening, and think it is all about people rejecting their normal color, please understand that most people want to lighten because of UNEVEN skin tone!

You might be overweight, and you might have acanthosis nitosis. I am 14 year old Indian girl, and i used to cry because my face and neck, arms elbows, knees, ankles were darker then my real skin color. but as I got skinnier it went away, then I used yogurt, and put it all over my skin. I also use turmeric powder, mixed in water, put it all over my skin. That really helps as well. So I suggest that if you are overweight, lose weight and then use the turmeric powder and yogurt and all that papaya lemon juice stuff! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

Recent study shows that the side effect of vitamin C overdosage can act as an antioxidant, similar to L-Glutathione but not as fast. Overdosage of vitamin C has no really down side, excessive vitamin C will be flushed out of the body thru urination. Amount recommended for an average adult is 1000mg/day Vitamin C, overdose is considered around 2000mg/day. However, if you want to get whiter in abit faster way, I recommend you go to local store and get some L-glutathione and vitamin C (available any store, no prescription needed), together they work well. General rule, Vitamin C needs to be 2 times greater than L-glutathoine inorder to achieve maximum effect because Alpha-Lipoic promotes absorbtion of L-glutathione. Try this for 2 or 3 weeks: L-glutathione 1000mg + vitamin C 2000mg per day. (doesn't have to be all at once, can split into L-glu 500mg + Vit-C 1000mg per half a day) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

It's the largest organ of our body and it deserves all the pampering it needs. Tell me all about the fashion magazines and i know them all. All the products that they review there, I've almost tried them all. These are my suggestions and i do hope they work for you. I'm a Filipina and now residing in the states but nothing beats the beauty products there in the Philippines...you know why? Because all the people there are now obsessed with whitening products. Check their celebrities which some I have worked with. They are all white! Now let me stop blabbering around and get to the products and most recent inventions chemists and dermatologists there in Philippines currently have. GLUTATHIONE (you can search it on your google tool bar) What it is and the related links where you can get it. Mostly they come in a form of capsule where you take it orally, and some are vials where you inject them intravenously for faster result as early as 3 wks. It is purely antioxidant and there are no cases of over dosage on it. ...METATHIONE Almost the same as glutathione but said to be stronger and works faster. ...KOJIC SOAPS, OBAGI PRODUCTS where you can get all of them at EBAY.COM.PH (just search for glutathione and you'll see all of these sellers and most of them ships internationally) They should pay me for advertising them! Last product that i use was originally from UK which was recently launched in the US was BOI-OIL! you can get it at Walgreen's for $11 or at ebay. This works for uneven skin tone, scars, stretch marks, aging skin and more. I just wanna help. People come up to me most of the time even my neighbors just to ask me what products I use and they even say my skin is as transparent and clear as those of the Japanese ladies. This is what I usually share to them. I just hope it works for all of you!. GOD BLESS YOU ALL and enjoy life whoever and whatever skin you might have!

I thought like you that if I would wash my face and body with normal soap that my skin color will become even and lighter. I recently discovered that this is not the case. A dermatologist friend of mine suggested to me to try an imported soap called SW+SS. It really made a difference. Not only is my skin color lighter, but its also even all over my body and face. And the best part is that it's not like those other harmful whitening products that damage your skin and can cause skin cancer. It contains l glutathione. I am not exactly sure what it is, but the way my doctor friend discovered it to me, it's like a close relative to vitamin C. They dont sell it in all countries. I was getting mine from a specialist shop. Until recently when I found out that they sell it on ebay. Thats where I am getting it from now.

(Guest Post) (07/09/2007) as a matter of fact you can achive a whiter skin in no time. Others may say that using sunscreen will do the thing, not very much so my mothers a dermatologist and she told me that the more you use a higher number of sunscreen when going outside the more you actually get darker and its true. My old teacher one time was talking to me and he just got back from the Phillippines which is a country that is very humid, i did notice that he was way darker then before and i remember him telling me that he used so much sunscreen to help his skin from the harshful sun. My question was why did he get darker? my mother maybe right about that or maybe its just him i dunno, use atleast SPF 15 nothing higher then that when applying on the face. By the way never buy skin brightners that have tinny little sparkles on them because they can irritate your skin and it can cause horrable acne, I'v tried it before i use the morning glow brightner from clean and clear i think it was and it was harsh on the face. mixing milk and lemon in a little container will help you achieve that whiter complexion, because milk has a bit of bleach in it and so does the lemon because of its acidity. My asian friend uses papaya herbal soap By lika and it works well she tells me, my friend is philipino and she was pretty dark and now shes as light as my younger sister whos a bit darker then i am and i am a mixture of German and Philipino.

If you were white when u were small thats your natural color. As you grow you may get brown but that is dependent on what type of enviornment u inhabitat. Lots of reasons can make ur color change. (sun,skin damage, using products that effect the sensitive facial skin negatively) so if you want ur white skin back, wash ur face regularly, dont go on and use any product on your face without recommendation, drink water, milk. And if you do think washing your face will change ur skin color u might as well use papaya soap.....HA!!!! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

Post By saad151 (Guest Post) (03/27/2007) my skin was whiter and then as i got older and went outside more it became a medium tan. it occasionally becomes white again in the winter. while in the summer and spring i swim in cold water. somehow it makes my skin whiter for a little while. so i'm guessing that cold water makes your skin lighter for a while until you go outside again. Editor's Note The sun brings out the color in your skin and depending on the amount of pigment you have naturally, if you go out in the sun, it will get darker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin_color Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By Marcy (Guest Post) (03/10/2007) We have similar stories. When I was young, I was like a ghost. But once I moved to a more tropical climate my hair and skin changed. However, it is possible to get your skin looking relatively close to the way it was when you were young. Avoiding the sun completley is hard and can cause Vitamin D defficiancies on occasion. So called 'whitening products' and 'skin bleach' have a tendancy to produce nasty side effects and can, on rare occasion, turn skin temporarily yellowish. I don't see anything wrong with tan skin, but I can understand the frustration of going through a drastic tone change. My suggestions, which are all working fine for me, are: to put on sun screen on if you plan on sun exposure over fifteen minutes and bring extra to apply when needed, drink the reccomended amount of water per day, use an umbrella when out in the sun or a good sunvisor and protecting clothes, eat a healthly diet, and wash your face two times a day at the most(never over, it can dry your skin!). To monitor progress, take a picture of your skin every week to see if it changes and chart down your diet and sun exposure. Most tans will fade over time, but if it doesn't than you should consult a dermatologist and show him or her your photolog and diet chart. If it's sun damage then the dermatologist could give one of a few good products to help the healing process. As for those with uneven skin tones, ProActive does sell a product that helps with this product. And, as all their other products have worked for me, I'd be willing to bet that it would do wonders.

Post By Jesus C (Guest Post) (11/01/2006) Of course you can get whiter skin - but why would you!? ;-) -Use at least 23 SPF sunscreen to protect from the suns rays -Most Japanese skincare products are designed to lighten your skin - try them out. They have specialized packages you can buy, or individual products. -Many facial soaps containing Benzoil Peroxide (for acne, etc.) or Salicilic Acid are good at bleaching or stripping the skin, respectively. These products will make you lighter if used consistently. -Additionally, keep your blood pressure down and avoid exercise or foods that increase blood flow to your face (blushing/flushing). The healthy red/pink color that blood produces in the face and upper chest will make you look darker (more tanned) especially if you have a tan already. -Or you could go under the laser, or acid skin peels -but they come with serious risks! -Or wait about 50 years when we'll be able to genetically modify your skin. Good luck! And I'm sorry you are all so desperate to look lighter; I, personally, dont see the point (beauty) in it. j _ c a r r i n g t o n @ e x c i t e . c o m Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By (Guest Post) (03/22/2006) I also want whiter skin. So i put on sunblock (highest spF) then use powder (light). I then put on more sunblock and then put on 'Mabelline, Smooth Result Age minimizing makeup-ivory -light1' which has sun protection in it too. I then put on powder to stop shine. My skin looks healthy and white after that and it is also being protected from the sun. As I live in Australia the sun is very strong so I ALWAYS have sunblock on any exposed areas. I also take collegen tablets which are meant to help with stretch marks i have, but i have noticed my skin getting whiter scince i have been taking them.

For a fairer skin, there are products and skincare lines that are dermatologically proven to whiten your skin. Sunblock is important to included to your skincare regimen. And don't forget to drink lots of water! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin?

Sun tanning does obviously make most skin tones darker, but normally this fades when the winter comes. Maybe the discoloration/darkness is caused by sun spots and/or sun damage? If you talk to a derm. they might recommend sun damage treatments. But perhaps, you just need to embrace the fact that your skin changes over time, and may never go back to how it once was.

Post By guest (Guest Post) (05/16/2005) Absolutely! Try keeping your skin healthy by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water. Taking vitamin pills will get your skin a healthy look. Birth control pills is another technique of getting your face soft as a baby's bottom. If you decide to go on birth control, you will need to prescription for it, so the best place to go is the clinic. Ask for the right pill for you. ps. there is a product that I've researched on google.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By Genny (Guest Post) (05/01/2005) From your comments indicating that your face appears "unwashed", I think you may have a condition called acanthosis nigricans. It is usually found on the neck, underarms and waist but I also have it on my face. This condition is caused by insulin resistance (diabetes). You may want to find an endocrinologist or dermatologist. Hope this helps! Genny Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post By Mary (Guest Post) (04/19/2005) Yes, stay out of the sun. it's not healthy to tan. Don't worry about your skin color, though. You may just have naturally darker skin, which you should be happy about. Dark skin is beautiful. I also agree with the person who advised to "be happy in your own skin." And look what happened to Michael Jackson when he tried to alter his looks. He looks completely unnatural now, and he was once a good looking man. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Can you get whiter skin? Post by cookwie (1090) | (04/19/2005) Profile | Contact Wait 'til you are 50 years old and then your skin will whiten! Actually, it's a compliment that you'd like to have your mother's pretty skin tone, however it appears that unless you use a lot of sunblock this may or may not happen. So how about just accepting what you have, who you are and discarding the thoughts about changing yourself. Whatever nature has decided you will have, you are pretty much stuck with. Point your energy to something more rewarding and forget what you can't change. We all have several somethings we wish we didn't inherit, but all of us have learned to just accept who we are and to be the best people we can be. Your friends and family probably don't care what your color is, and if they do, they are just being petty. Ignore them because their opinions aren't worth anything. Just be yourself. Be nice, be intelligent, be compassionate, be understanding and be the best you can be. People who are valuable will appreciate your finer aspects and they won't notice your complexion one whit!

If you make a concentrated effort to apply sunblock and/or stay out of the sun, your white skin should come back in a year or so. :-) Remember, a suntan is actually your body trying to protect itself from damage!
