I have been light skinned from scratch but due to stress and most especially the heat of the sun,i have become so dark skinned that there is hardly any trace of me being light initially and when i tell people i was light initially no one believes me.
i need help in finding out which soap is best for getting a light skin,not just light,an evenly light and fresh looking skin and not just any kind of soap like tura and similar ones, cheap or expensive i just need to know the soap i need to use.(A soap i can get easily) and also which cream and facial cleanser would do a perfect job.(More concerned about the soap though)
heard about 'SKIN SUCCESS COMPLEXION TONING SOAP' but am not toO sure and don't want to buy anythIng that would damage my skin thats why am coming up here for help.
I live in Nigeria and would appreciate if you recommend products available in Nigeria
thank you

Any lotion/cream/soap from this category will work. You can probably find most of them in 9ja: http://sterlingsilversguesso.stores.yahoo.net/lilo1.html

hot water plus hot pepper. kai - aje bi idan.

longoria,i actually use the SKIN SUCCESS COMPLEXION SOAP with the complexion cream and i like the result maybe because i am naturally fair also but maybe u should try the soap or MARY KAY TIME WISE EVENTONE CREAM only if u can afford it.Its just #4,500 only.

thanks for the advice.Talking about the skin success,there are different types i want to know if it is the common on i can get in the market you are talking about.the one that goes for about N80 - N100.the one they wrote complexion lightening soap, thanks

NO,not the common one,get the one made by PALMERS.i get mine for #350 at the supermarket close to me.

Hi Longoria. I was also once a victim. I am Naturally fair but with the Nigerian sun here and there, i turned dark.If you are really serious about returning to your original colour, send me a mail and I will teach you the save and effective way of doing so.

i actually use the TRACIA LIGHTENING SHOWER CREAM, the one that GOAT MILK is clearly written on the JAR and also i can recommend the NEUTROGENA VISIBLY FIRM MOSTURIZER with ACTIVE COPPER,it lightens your skin and firms you body.i am sure you will call to thank me by the time you use it.for evidence, my picture is attached to this message to you can see what i look like.if u like my colour, go for it and you will get the same result.the tracia shower cream is #1,800 while you can get the neutrogena for #2,500 at wholesale price.you can check APONGBON MARKET where you can find stores that sells original body products.wish you goodluck

This is bleaching, right? Skin Lightening makes it sound nice and so "non-bleaching"

LOL, use blk soap n honey 4 best results. Gbam.!!!

Amen @ WesleyanA

I agree with you a great deal. I love my brown skin, I would not want to be any other way.

the sun can change you.

i said it on nairaland millio0nth times now, stop using skin lighning stuff it's bogus it doesn't work for long, just use hydrogen peroxide and few lemon juice to remove the darkened place when skin returns clear start using sunscreen and be ok with your colour, plus those creme gives bad body odour,skin disorder and it's for illitrates, if you hate my idea and still wants light skin but the skin lighning pill

there is a skin lightening pill

@busta yeah, there is, how do you think celebrity bleach skin with no black patches on elbow and finger joints

hi all, has anyone eve used A3 1st lady brightening milk or fair and white exclusive products? i am trying to bring my complexion back after child birth.

don't use first lady, it's cheap and rubbish try the exclusive or executive white in the a3 range, it's much bettre or the bianca
cream, i know a lot about lightening because my mum does it, she's african and suffers from pigmentation
problems, or try papaya soap/kojic acid combination, phillipinos use this combination, and it works great.
take l-glutathione pills, they whiten u up fast, they're the new craze in the US.

Why?

Hi Tumininu,
Are u saying the Time Wise Even Complexion (mary kay) is not too good? I'm thinking of a good cream to use.

Neutrogena product works perfectly on my skin

Shea butter lightens and evens the complexion.

Yuk , the smell nko
so i buy from Boots butterlicious coconut oil and shea butter
inexpensive and really , in absence of that use the natural one it Works !

The best is very hot vegetable oil

Look at all these girls with no self esteem advising one another on bleaching creams and bleaching soaps.
When you end up with squamous cell carcinoma or turn into checkered burnt out masquerades you'll run to mountain of fire and be binding and casting when you brought the evil upon yourselves.
How pitiful!

I hope you don't end up with these fake wannabe yellow banana as a wife.
That's why I advise men to look at the knuckles,heels,elbows and ears to know the God given complexion of your wife.

Its quiet funny how someone already warned them and they ignore. It is quiet sad that people with access to the internet are still quiet so backwards. There backwardness will soon result to cancer as mercury is a major product used in bleaching cream.

@ topic

rather than concentrate on lightening, focus on protecting your self from the sun,

use sun screan, cleanse, exoliate and detoxify, your skin will look healthy and toned without looking chemically enhanced.

u can include a gentle toner in your skin care regimen to encourage the skin renewal process

Exfoliating toners are good for the face,they cleanse the dead outer skin layer keep your skin young and supple without bleaching and have no quinolones and mercury or any of these damaging products.
What these girls are talking about is totally different.
They want to turn pseudo oyibo by all means
Tufiakwa!

LOL

I get the feeling they dont understand that they can achieve the same results without all that drastic measure,
I remember going to the market in Nigeria yrs ago to look for sunscreen, they kept trying to sell me all kinds of lightening and bleaching creams. . .
there shd be more education on these issues, so many young girls are experimenting with the wrong products thats why they all end up looking false and colourful
