Skin Care

It’s about skin lightening/whitening, 10 points for best answer?

ok does anyone out there have any ways/tips on how to make your skin lighter/whiter? Any natural ways/ingredients of doing it or perhaps there are creams out there that do the job? I am a UK resident so it would be helpful to mention UK stores if there are any creams available in UK stores. Please don’t mention things like “you should accept what you are” or “it is all part of growing up” because this is my choice and if I want to do this than I shall. Moreover this has been done before by other people and I want to do it too. Natural ways or cream will do, I don’t want the cream to have any side effects, it should be harmless and it should definitely do the job, recommend me the best cream on the internet or in a store. Again please don’t make cruel jokes or say things like it is part of growing up as it is my choice and i want to do this. things like this have been dore before so i wish to do it.

Ok My Dear….

I understand how you feel….because I myself have tried so many during a period of time…but I must say i have seen my skin changing for better.

Firstly….understand your skin type (you haven’t mentioned abt it). Is it too dark or it is brown or is it wheatish?. (If its Wheatish …it should not bother you much I guess….If its dark or brown then thats what is bothering you).

Try these tips for 1month and I am sure you will see the results and like it. Firstly, get a glowing and healthy skin …make it flawless (no fat..no marks …no wrinkles etc).
1. A cream is just temporary and has side effect as your skin ages. So try something that’s natural.
2. Get a healthy routine to your daily life (THIS IS THE KEY POINT) . Exercise is the key factor to a glowing skin. Running 2 to 3 miles a day will take out all toxins and fat in you body and give you a glowing skin.
3. As soon as you get up in the morning drink 3glasses of water (this helps flush out daily toxins from your body)
4. stop drinking alcohol (this dehydrates your skin and for a darker skin people it makes it even worse).. (if you are a heavy drinker…or you have to drink for social purpose..then try to atleast avoid during this 1month routine). Drink atleast 3ltrs of water everyday…(this is a lot of effort but believe me..its worth it)
5. Stop smoking if you are a smoker (well this might be tough for most smokers..but try to reduce or drink more water if you cannot reduce smoking)
6. Yoga for glowing skin (pranayam) – I strongly recommend this breathing exercise for a glowing and fair skin (sit in a comfortable pose on the floor with your back straight, eyes closed – a.inhale fully and exhale fully (do this for 10times/3sets with a 10sec gap). b. only breath out ..in a rhythmic manner…30times/3sets with a 10sec gap)) this exercise will not take more than 10mins everyday…(lookup on youtube if you need more tips on pranayam). TRY THIS FOR A MONTH YOU WILL SEE RESULTS.
7. include fruits into your diet. Eating one full cantaloupe every morning would also give you a good color. Eat lot of strawberries…oranges…apples (must) ….(avoid fried food). eat yogurt everyday.
8. Now lets move on to external treatment – use a oil free face wash…try Neutrogena products…they are recommended by dermatologists and try a oil free moisturizer. VERY IMPT
9. use one good face pack every week. I would suggest start with Biotique’s Fruit pack (you will get this in india or in a indian store or ask someone who is coming from india to get for you)..this pack is made of all natural and is very good face pack for weekly once. If this is difficult to get then try
this method – from any store or indian store buy these – one face bleach (check for Sally Hansen or Jolen Cream Bleach) and from indian store buy sandlewood powder, rose water (dabur preferably), multani mitti.
10. Procedure to use a face pack. First, bleach your face (read the instructions on the bleach pack and bleach your face). wash your face with cold water. Now, prepare your face for steam…apply a light moisturizer on your face and take steam (boil water in a bowl with covered lid and remove when its boiling and make a tent with a towel over this hot bowl and keep your face in the tent to take the steam). Be there for 10mins and pat your face dry with a towel (donot rub). Now prepare your face pack (if you are using biotique’s fruit pack..then just directly apply it)..else if you making your pack then mix multani mitti with sandlewood powder and rosewater and make a paste and apply to your face and neck. Leave it till it drys and wash it away. NOTE: Use bleach once is 2 weeks and face pack once a week.

11. Now, lets looks at your dressing…do not wear something that tooo bright or too pale…go for earthy colors..
12. do not overly dress up…like cap, glasses, scarf, jacket, heavy watch, jazzy pants, heavy shoes..all at a time. get a elegant look. Check out brands websites to know what colors r in fashion..wat style looks good. Look up ZARA mens store..their colors are in style all the time. Look up banana republic mens store for colors…
13. Shave every day…darker skin men with bread will look darker. Have a clean shave and use after shaves.
14. I am not sure in UK…but in india you have facials for men…get them done once a month. very effective.
15. Have a good teeth color. (should not be yellow)
16. Above all..SMILE. (smile brightens up your face)

You have to do all this diligently to find results….I myself have and am doing and I have had drastic results from what skin I had and what i have currently.
