Permanent skin lightening treatments for dark-skinned African Americans?
By Jules1 on 04 Mar 2009
Is there anything permanent? I am a very dark skin African American woman and have used almost every over the counter lightening crème & soap and nothing brings me close to my desired complexion. I don’t want to have light skin just lighter and I know how I want to look but don't know what would work for my pigment or if anything works at all. I hope it is something permanent as well because I don’t want to go through this the rest of my life. The picture doesn't show how dark I really am but I hope you can get an idea.

what cream you talking about cause am from ghana and sometimes they got b******t creams that dont work

personally i think black women are more pretty in very many ways. I'm a white male and i like many different races of women and not in a sexual way but in the beauty way and not just movie stars. I see many women that worry about the way they look and wonder why, maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think dark skinned women are very attractive. I understand that there are people out there that are dumb a's but they need to look in the mirror. to me i think the woman is beautiful and and i personally dont think dark women need to prove anything cause dark skinned people are a beautiful race. along with many other races. that is just my take on this ,so love your dark skin for all its worth after all its what you were born with and if dumb people dont like it then who needs em.
I Used to use Fair and Flawless ! they are very expensive but it works fast and it supposed to be semi permanent go to their website when you give them a call ..ask for Linda she can assist you whit all your questions and she also makes Costom whiting Gels its up to you how strong you want it ..they just add an extra strength of Kojic Acid and SepiWhite, and AHA its the best products i have used to far ! I went from a brandy to a Rihanna color after 4/5 months straight ..but you have to be consistant ..eater you go for it all the way or not ! because the products are way too expensive to use it half way or every other day ....once you have or reached your desired color, then you can start using it every other day ...in the summer i get a slight tan like a Hell berry color my bud took alittle longer to lighten ! but in the beginning you start with a Costom Gel for 1 week straight day and night ! (in that week your body will peel allot) then after that you start using the Costom made Cream you will use that during the day and the Gel during the night ...and the product package are very upscale and fresh nice smell ..even tho the gel doesnt really smell like anything ...o Also you would have to use a Exoflating Bar of soap make sure when you soap your skin leave it on your skin for like 2 minutes and then wash it off ! like i said the products are so expensive but its worth your spending ...in the beginning for the whole costom made produtcs you would loos atleast about 1500 dollars that would last you a whole 4/5 months remember when you call ask specificly for Linda shes a great consultant ! well hope this help ciao !
