Skin Whitening Home Remedies

Do Home Remedies Work To Whiten Your Skin?

The best or fastest way to whiten your skin is to use a chemical skin bleaching cream, and the best brand is Tonique Skin Care.

If you want to go straight to using the range of skin whitening products from them, click on the photo at the top of the sidebar. That will lead you to the Facebook page, which has a whole bunch of helpful tips, and a link to the main site.

If you want to try out some home remedies first, this post has a list of the various different home remedies which do work to a small degree, if used consistently over a long period of time.

The main active ingredient in these home remedy recipes is vitamin C, which has a mild skin whitening effect, and lemon juice contains a lot of vitamin C.

There are other fruits, vegetables and food products which also have a mild lightening effect, it just depends on what sort of results you're looking for as to whether it's worth trying these out.

To find out more about whether homemade skin whitening remedies work, I wrote about that in a previous post.

Recipes For Homemade Skin Whitening Remedies

As I mentioned already, the main ingredient in most of these recipes is lemon juice, lemon peel, orange peel, lime juice, lime peel, pineapple juice, or anything that has a lot of vitamin C in it. 

Some other things which have some effect are ginger, turmeric, almonds, yoghurt, cucumber, and honey. 

To put together a simple skin whitening remedy, try mixing lemon juice with a little yoghurt, and dip thin slices of cucumber in it. 

Wipe your skin with the soaked cucumber, and if you can, leave it to rest on your skin for as long as possible, like a half an hour if you have the time. 

Repeat this twice a day, every day for weeks, months, or as long as you can be bothered keeping it up. 

The vitamin C works because it's ascorbic acid, although other acids like glycolic acid and kojic acid do work better, particularly if it's pure and highly concentrated. 

Another way to get some good results is with a skin peel, or by exfoliating your skin. A good simple exfoliating remedy that you can make at home is raw sugar.

Mix raw sugar and lemon juice together with some honey, and apply it to your skin with a sponge. By gently removing the top layer of skin, and with the vitamin C working as well, you will get some natural lightening. 

However, the results you can expect from doing these things is nowhere near the results you get from using a cream specifically made to produce fast results. 

Chemical Skin Whitening Treatments

The products made by Tonique contain a carefully formulated combination of alpha arbutin, glycolic acid, sepiwhite FSH, and moisturizers. 

The results are over a hundred times more effective, and can be seen almost immediately. In terms of the time you spend, and the money you spend, you would be much better off spending your money on a chemical treatment. 

The company is based in Maryland USA, which means that their products are FDA approved, and you don't need a prescription, you can buy anywhere in the world online, and it will be sent out to you. 

It depends on what results you want to achieve, and what type of skin you have as to how you should apply the cream, so it's a good idea to talk to the support team to get the best directions for use for your individual skin. 

You may have a specific condition like hypo-pigmentation, hyper-pigmentation, freckles, birthmarks, scars, etc, or you may just want to lighten your skin for fashion reasons. 

It's a very popular treatment in Hollywood, and there are many celebrities who bleach their skin, check out the linked post for before and after photos of some very famous stars who have had this done. 

If you want to find out more, visit toniqueskincare.com and start a chat, or send a message to sales@toniqueskincare.com and include information about your skin, and the results you're hoping to achieve. 

Include photos of your skin to give the support team the best idea of what you look like, so they can recommend the best directions for use.

Conclusion

As I've mentioned, you can get very mild results from using some of the home remedies for skin whitening that are mentioned here, but it's going to cost you more in the long run, and not give you anywhere near as effective results as with a chemical product. 

The brand this blog talks about has been around for years, uses all natural, FDA approved, mild but effective ingredients which really work, in a safe way. 

You might possibly find cheaper products somewhere online, but not from a US company that adheres to FDA guidelines, and there are some dangerous products on the market which you really don't want to put on your skin. 

For example, some African and Asian brands have been found to contain dangerous chemicals like mercury, bleach and hydroquione, which are very bad for your skin and your health. So, the choice is fairly simple. 

Either you use a home remedy which barely works at all, or you risk your skin and even your life by buying a low quality foreign brand of skin whitening cream, or you buy the highest quality, safe, and effective skin whitening products from Tonique Skin Care.

Can A Black Person Do Anything To Become Whiter?

For whatever reason, many black or dark skinned people around the world want to become whiter. This is possible, in fact people do it all the time, especially in Hollywood.

Check out the photo above, which shows the amazing transformation of one black actress, Tina McGee from Boy Meets World.

If you want to see more before and after photos, take a look at this article about black women in Hollywood who bleach their skin. It shows before and after photos of some really famous pop stars and actors who have obviously undergone skin whitening treatments.

Some of these celebrities include Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Tempest Bledsoe from The Cosby Show, Michael Jackson, Samy Sosa, (baseball player), and many others.

These treatments are becoming more and more popular around the world, but it's not a new thing, people have been bleaching and lightening their skin for thousands of years.

The skin bleaching in Hollywood is so popular because studies have shown that a certain percentage of people, white or not, feel more comfortable watching a show or buying an album that is done by a lighter skinned person.

Is It Racist To Assume That Whiter Skin Is Better?

Perhaps it is a little racist, but even other black people tend to be a little less comfortable when looking at a man or woman with a very dark skin tone.

You can't change society, and the sub-conscious prejudices or preferences they have grown up with. The same thing is true for overweight people, gay people, or unattractive people. Studies show that they are treated in different ways.

For example, even as children, a baby will look at any ugly woman, and a beautiful woman, and if asked which one is mean, they will say the ugly one.

That's not to say that a really dark skin color makes you mean, or that it's a bad thing at all, but when people do show these racist traits in large numbers, it's important to take that into account, and it is actually possible to change a little.

Actually, you can change a lot, from totally black, to totally white, if you want to go that far. The most famous case of a celebrity using skin whitening products is Michael Jackson.

In his case, he was using a hydroquinone containing cream, prescribed to him by a doctor because he had a condition known as hypo-pigmentation, or vitiligo.

How To Bleach Your Skin Safely

It is quite important to bleach your skin safely, if you do decide that you want to undergo a skin whitening treatment.

Some people will be doing it because they have spots on their skin like birthmarks, freckles, scars, etc, but whatever the reason, you don't want to mess it up.

The chemical I mentioned before, hydroquinone, is not considered safe for long term use, and neither are many other chemicals found in different products sold by different companies around the world.

For example, there were a couple of bleaching creams from some very disreputable brands from Asia and Africa that used mercury as an active ingredient.

Obviously, this is a terribly poisonous chemical, and so you must know what any product contains before you put it on your skin.

You should probably only trust a brand made in America, (or other western countries), because they have very strict rules and regulations on what you're allowed to sell to people without a prescription.

Tonique Skin Care is such a brand, the company is based in Baltimore MA, and they've been in business for many years without any bad side effects reported from their many customers.

Click on the link and visit the site, their products contain arbutin, glycolic acid and sepiwhite FSH, which are all well known, safe and effective, over the counter ingredients which really work.

If you want to find out more, check out their Facebook page Skin Whitening Tips, the link to that is in the photo at the top of the sidebar, or send a message to the helpful support team at sales@toniqueskincare.com before you buy.

For black people, or very dark skinned people, you will probably have to apply the cream evenly to your entire body to get even results. Again, ask the support team on the site to give you information on how to get the best results for your individual skin.

Skin Bleaching And Skin Whitening

Reasons For Using A Skin Bleaching Cream

People use skin whitening products for many different reasons, and while all of them could be considered cosmetic reasons, there are some serious skin conditions which really require skin bleaching.

For example, hypo-pigmentation is a condition that causes large white patches, or spots where the skin has no pigment at all. There is a similar condition that is the exact reverse called hyper-pigmentation, where the skin develops spots that have too much melanin.  

Some people have to deal with other types of spots like extreme cases of freckles and acne scarring, while others have burns, stretch marks, birthmarks, and other problems that leave dark, white, or red marks on their skin. 

For these people, it can be very painful just to live each day with a mark that makes them different from everyone else, even if that's only the way they perceive it. 

Everyone is different, and nobody is perfect, but if you feel that you could improve the way you look substantially by covering up uneven skin, or changing your skin color to a lighter shade all over, then you need to find skin whitening products that will work safely. 

How To Find A Safe Skin Whitening Cream

You could take my word for it, and just visit the Tonique Skin Care site, but first, you might want to learn how the active ingredients work. 

Arbutin has been used for a long time without any bad side effects, and products containing it are available over the counter. 

It gradually whitens the skin, and can be applied to a specific area, or the entire body, for a completely even skin color change. 

If you stop using it, the skin will naturally return to it's original color over a number of weeks, as the old skin cells die out and are replaced by new ones. 

Glycolic acid is the other chemical used in the Tonique range, and this is used for chemical skin peeling. 

It causes an immediate change in the skin tone as the lighter lower layer of skin is revealed, and it also helps enhance the effectiveness of the arbutin cream so that it lasts longer, and leaves the skin whiter, sooner. 

You can find out more by clicking on the links on this page, which lead to the Facebook page of the site, which then leads to the main site.

How To Get Rid Of Acne Scars

 

Remove Your Acne Scars Forever!

It is possible to get rid of of lighten acne scars, or the red skin anyway. The pock marks or indentations in the skin might need laser surgery, or some other type of treatment, but if you are concerned about the red spots and patches left behind after a bad acne breakout in your youth, there is something that can be done about it.

The photo link at the top of the right sidebar is to the Facebook page of Tonique Skin Care, a site that sells a revolutionary product that can bleach or whiten any sort of spot or dark patch on your skin.

It does this through ingredients like arbutin and glycolic acid, which is a chemical skin peeling agent. All active ingredients of the Tonique range are safe, leave no unwanted side effects, and are also very effective.

They work gradually, but the effects are noticeable straight away. Whatever area you apply the cream to becomes whiter and whiter in stages until it is completely white.

The skin repairs itself over time as the new skin cells replace the old, but you can maintain the effects indefinitely by applying again once a month, or as required.

How To Apply The Cream

For light skinned people, you should only have to apply a very small amount to the spot itself, or to the entire face or body part region.

However with dark skinned people, the change in tone to a very light color may mean that you need to apply the cream to the entire body to get a uniform and even result.

You may have seen some very famous people using skin whitening products without knowing it. For example, Michael Jackson was very famous for having turned from black to white in a short amount of time.

This is because he had a skin condition known as vitiligo, or hypo-pigmentation, which causes patches of the skin to lose their pigment.

He had very white patches on his very dark skin, and so the only option to achieve an even looking skin color was to bleach his skin completely white.

Other famous Hollywood stars who have used skin bleaching creams to a lesser extent include Beyonce, Rihanna, Diana Ross, and there are many others, who probably don't wish to be named, or talk about it publicly, but who seem happy with the results.

You could barely tell that they had changed at all, because it happened while they were in the public eye, and nobody seemed to notice, but if you look at a before and after shot of Beyonce, you can see that in earlier photos she was very black, and in later photos, very white.

Getting back to the point of the article, if you have acne scars, red marks on your face and you want to get rid of them, first click on the photo link at the top of the sidebar, like the Facebook page Skin Whitening Tips to get regular ongoing helpful information on the subject, and then visit the site toniqueskincare.com.

There, you can either buy one of the products or packages straight away from the buy page, or you can talk to the helpful support staff about what you can expect, and how you should apply the cream to your individual skin type.

You will surely get the results you're looking for, although you should remember that for some people, it may be a profound change, though the process can be reversed if you decide you don't like the new you.
