How can i reduce the melanin on my face and have a fair complexion?

Question

i am a 15 yrs old. male....I live in Saudi Arabia...As a boy I had a handsome yellowish-white color..but then i used to run in the open sun without any umbrella or sunscreen which got be tanned and now I'm brown ! And it has caused me a lot of problems:

Whenever me and my family take group pictures, my face would appear dark and no one could see my face ( except for the teeth ). All of my cousins would make fun of me because I'm dark and they're light. Worst of all, my GIRLFRIEND dumped because of my dark skin.

WHAT SHOULD I DO......HOW CAN I GET Y LIFE BACK.....HOW CAN I GET MY GIRL BACK...and most importantly.......HOW CAN I REDUCE THE MELANIN IN MY FACE, REDUCE TAN AND BECOME WHITE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY ??????

Answer 1

OMG I wish I could say I was tan, It makes you look healthy and slimmer and hides your flaws better, I guess you always want what you cant have though right.

Im really light skined but i get dark freckles if i stay out of the sun for awhile and rub lemon juice on my freckles they get lighter almost invisable within a month or two. Not sure if it would work for you or not since i really don't have much melanin to begin with, but staying out of the sun definatly works.

Interesting question. I was watching a show a few months ago and they did an experiment on sun damage on the skin and the woman ate one small can of tomato paste each day for 30 days (on crackers) and skin damage went away on her skin. She would normally burn in the sun but after the tomato paste for 30 days she no longer burned. I would think you would have the same effect if you did it. Also you should use a sunscreen when you go outside if you dont want to darken. I have to tell you though that you will probably darken with sunscreen because ... well Im white and I still get tan when I wear sunscreen.

There is probably no way to change this process because of your nationality. A girl that would drop you over the color of you skin is not going to be a good woman.

Not everyone is white... if they were the world would be a boring place. I hope you try the tomato paste because that is one thing that I know works from the inside out.

Start wearing sunscreen with a high SPF every day, especially on your face, the back of your neck, and other areas that are exposed to the sun the most. This will stop you from tanning (and help prevent skin cancer), and eventually you will return to your natural skin color. This may not be as light as you would like it to be, but there's nothing wrong with having dark skin. If your girlfriend dumped you because of your skin color, then she's not a good person and certainly not the type of person you would want to be around in the long run, anyway.
