My skin (complexion) has been getting darker and darker since I came to the U.S. for the past 8 yrs, how do I?

Question

Once I mowed the lawn with my shirt off, in Columbus, Ohio, and my skin (complexion) got so dark and has kept getting darker ever since; I know I'll probably never look the same again but is it possible to reverse my complexion towards the original direction of my old complexion? Are there any skin-care products or foods or practices that can help with this? It sounds funny but despite growing up in Africa, I only got much darker after I came to the U.S. I use proactive now; any ideas as far as getting lighter like I used to be, once again?

Answer 1

Wear very i spf sun lotion. Eventually, the tan will go away. But i heard that if u put lemon juice on the main areas u want to get lighter and then leave it on for an hour and do it for a few days, it supposedly helps your skin get lighter faster.

Answer 2

Just continuously use a strong sun tan lotion.

Eventually it will get lighter

Answer 3

Uh,

i think thats just a tan.

Put on FPS 60 or something,

that should block out the sun.

Answer 6

there are safe and effective skin lighteners for your purpose - papaya kojic acid soap, black licorice soap, dermaline skin whitening cream or lotion - and a high spf sunscreen.. these work well together to help you achieve the results that you want.

Answer 7

Yes.  Get a high level sunblock lotion, at least a 30, and apply it to your exposed skin when you go out.  Then when you shower, make sure and exfoliate by using a sponge.  You will begin to lighten within 90 days.
