Does it matter if your darker now? How does your skin texture look? If you go out in the sun with those oils it will darken you of course, shea butter and coconut oil attracts the sun. What were you using before?

Shea butter will not diminish pimples in fact it may worsen the condition because it is for dry skin. Most is done from the inside first lessen oily food that is fried drinks lots of water and eat raw fruits and veggies like Carrots and Cucumbers or Banana and Mango's.

Crush up some aspirin and use it as a paste. Crush up a pill or two of aspirin and mix it with just enough water to form a paste. With a Q-Tip or your hands, apply the paste onto individual pimples, leaving to dry.
Why does aspirin work? Aspirin has salicylic acid in it, which is what most topical acne treatments use to bust up acne-causing bacteria. Salicylic acid dries out pimples and fights the bacteria simultaneously.

Skin lightening lotion is not really good to use because after you stop using it you will get darker always. Using it for a long time will damage your skin for sure. It is suppose to be used to correct hyper pigmentation, and to even the skin tone, but if you wear it in the sun it can damage your skin.

Cut a lemon in half and gently rub the open-side of the lemon onto the acne. The stinging feeling means it's working. Lemons contain citric acid, which attacks the bacteria that cause acne.
Citric acid can bleach the skin as well but puts it at significantly higher likelihood of sun damage/darkening if you wear it in the sun. Use this method at night.

Hmmmm, nairaland amazes me attimes. People take stress to be explicit enough when you ask for their help despite how much typing sucks. Thanks much, i apprec8, but my acne aint my p now o, wen i had pimples den alot of my female friends do help out in picking dem, i enjoyed their soft hands but apart from my female friends oda girls do not send me o. Lol. See that yeye pimples boy is coming.
Now that my skin is looking all dull n brown its even worse sef. I dont even feel myself physically, its so anoying. What can i doto get back to my old self n overturn this shea butter poo. I think it overclogged my skin cos nothing works. Whats ur advice

@poster, get Nivea Fair Body Lotion! I tell you, it's the best. It will give you back you your natural colour. Just try it, within a week, you'l start seeing changes, and a month after, you're back where you belong. Iv lost my natural complexion(sort of fair with an orange undertone) twice, and used it twice as well to get it back. And it worked!

pls oooo wat do i use fr ma face,i notice somfin lik eczma/cream reaction,av used.skinnel buh still d same story.do u av any idea wat i suld use?pls help

These oils are awesome actually. Due to our very sunny weater it would darken any user. I always advice using at night or avoid too much exposure in the sun if you can help i t. These oils in soaps won't darken because you would ave to rinse off after bathing. We need oils to soften, mositurise and reduce wrinkles
Stop using it in the day time and use a safe ligtening cream. Or just use a regular one. You wouldn't want skin damage due to using so called ligtening creams that could prove dangerous to the skin.

Hmmm.. Thanks very much. But didnt u do any kind of exfoliation before use? And which shop in lagos did u get it? Cos original hard to find.

[quote author=icebebe



Try funbact-A

@Maclef, no, i didnt do any form of exfoliation first. And sorry, I dont stay in Lagos, but if the case as you said is that originals are hard to find, then I guess it would be safer for you to go get it in a good supermarket.

its very true ooo. all these shea butter, cocoa butter & nivea makes one black. i thought it was just me. the main thing that you should always have is sunblock

So what cream should I start using now

can any one tell me about this cream (Neutrotone), how good or bad is the cream?

To me i think u should forget, self cosmetology. See a cosmetologist or dematologist. Its their job to advice you. I saw one sure one on tv. I can add it up for u

LOL Noo not burnt chocolate!!
Joking

macklef: Enough of all the overhyped tales of how awesome shea butter is to the skin. Cooooooollll story. Well maybe for dark skinned, chocolate people not light skinned. After 3 months of taking my time to rub shea butter and coconut oil. You will hate wat u see. Those shii are poos.. They make u look shinny when using them, but pls if you wanto know how useless it is just stop it completely for 2wks to a month. U go fear fear. Rubbish oils, now that they have turned a fair me to burnt chocolate, i dont even know what else to do.

Shearbutter didn't do anything to you, you now burnt cholocate is all ur fault.. You got darkened and burnt by the sun, the sun protection in sheaB isn't high enough to protect u from sun UV rays that's why people use SUNCREENS, shea butter is really good it just takes time n patients... You hv to use virgin cold pressed coconut oil not the refined one...

Lol. U for hear whin.

My conclusion is if you want to use it don't go out in the sun!!! Because the sun will react with the oil and make you more darker!!
