Skin Lightening/ Toning -Miami, FL

I was inspired by @BadAssGirlWithABigAssBooty. I bought a new lightening product called Piona. Yesterday was day 1. First off it was drying. The initial odor was bearable but the after smell had me like WHOA!! Lol . I'm pleased with the reviews so I'm encouraged to use it. I've been using on my whole body except for my face ,but I'm just going to focus on my butt, lower back, under my butt, my arms and my neck which is typically darker. The purpose of the purchase was to lighten my butt to even it with the rest of my body. I read that you see results almost immediately. I'm aware that everybody has different skin types but I know when you've already been using products to lighten, your skin is more susceptible to the action of the product thus quicker results. I haven't used any unnatural products like hydroquinone on anything below my neck but I was never dark to begin with so I don't really have far to go. The fact that I have used Topiclear which contains hydroquinone my skin was more sensitive to the sun and I do tan more easier now than before because of it but that's life. I'm glad I don't use HQ anymore. Withe these natural products I don't have any patches or unnatural skin color. I found Otentika Fade Cream in 2009. It gives me a radiant look. I love that it's heavy. I use it straight from the shower. I don't wait for my skin to be all the way dried out because the skin absorbs lotions and such better when the skin isn't completely dry. I found that using the Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Acid soap is drying due to the Kojic acid but adding water to the fade cream's thick consistency doesn't make it any less potent. And it glides on better. The fade cream gives me a look as if I was way lighter like an olive skin tone and had a really nice tan. I look radiant. I personally am not afraid to show my ace I'm a real persona and I'm also very open. It's natural to want perfection and realistic to know there's no such thing BUT you CAN come close ;-) When I began using HQ was to keep my complexion but I used for so long my body was like white chocolate and caramel compared to the rest of my body. I don't need to be anonymous because people are going to talk. That's what people do but guessssss WHAT? The only way they'd see any of these blogs is if they themselves were drying to make the same improvements. :-) praise God. lol

I'm loving my results so far. I'm almost done with the soap. I definitely need to re-up but as for the bad odor I was smelling, that has nothing to do with the lotion. I was like dang do I really smell that bad but I don't. My mom cooked fish yesterday so that smell filled the place but what really had my nose turned up was in fact a pill under my bed that my dog bit that had oozed out this rancid liquid onto a blanket I placed under the bed for her so. I smell just fine. False alarm. I was like man I know I don't smell bad. Anyhow, the pictures below are not arranged in order but It shows my progress

The fourth picture was back in 2009. The second picture was when I just started using the soap and the Otentika Fade Out cream. The third picture came third. The fifth picture did indeed come fifth and the last pic is what I currently look like
