Skin getting Darker?

by Princess

Hi Maria, I have been using the Skin Whitening Cream off and on for a few months. It has worked wonderfully on the acne scars on my face. Most recently I have begun using it to lighten the shaving scars on my bikini line. Although the area is peeling the skin now appears to be a lot darker than before. Should I be concerned or should I still continue to apply the cream?

Answer:

Hi Princess, the bikini line is a rather difficult zone to lighten because it is usually in contact with clothing - underwear and pants - which causes friction, in turn causes skin darkening. The whitening cream CAN lighten the area, but one should at least avoid wearing tight clothing in contact with the inner thigh during the skin lightening regimen. Otherwise, peeling skin that is constantly rubbed with tight clothing (worse if you move a lot) will make it darker.

Do not apply the whitening cream daily, only 2-3x per week. Especially when skin starts to peel, minimize application to 1-2x a week. Preferably applied at night, then follow up with a moisturizer after 15 minutes. At daytime, apply powder to minimize contact with clothing.

Hope this helps. :-)
