How to Make Brown Skin Lighter

How to Make Brown Skin Lighter

• 1). Decide your goal. Are you trying to lighten a mole or birthmark to match surrounding skin? Or are you trying to lighten your entire body? Different products work better for different goals.
  
  
• 2). Ask your doctor or dermatologist whether it's all right for you to use a skin-lightening product. If they are safe in your case, your doctor can help you choose a product that will work best for you. After you consult, you can shop around.
  
  
• 3). Shop around the Web for a skin-lightening cream or lotion packaged to prevent light exposure and air contamination, which can damage the lotion or cream and render it ineffective. Most skin-lightening creams are made with some combination of kojic acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, mulberry extract, bearberry extract, licorice extract, Gigawhite, lemon juice extract and emblica extract. Look for a product containing these ingredients. Many of these products come with a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
  
  
• 4). Follow the directions with your cream or lotion. This usually consists of applying the lotion a few times a day for anywhere between five days and five months. The cream will lighten your skin, but you will have to continue using it to keep the results. Once you start going out in the sun, your skin will start to tan. If you plan to be in the sun a lot, look for a skin-lightening product that contains an ultraviolet block.
  
  
• 5). Maintain your lighter skin by protecting it from the elements. When you have to spend the day under the sun, make sure to cover up. A hat and sunglasses should be enough to shade your face from the sun.
