So I have this black and unregular face.
I used to be fairer than this when I was younger. You know, due to the hard times and all the trekking under the sun for years coz of hustling, my face has become uglier and darker than it supposed to be. At least, areas like my thighs and belly are still chocolate-like in color (even though I know they are also affected somehow), but my face is just BLACK!

Anytime I'm walking on the street with my sister who is very fair in complexion, people often give us this look like "who's this pretty babe walking with this ugly piece of shiit"

Abeg, Nairaland people, what do I do? I'm not the cosmetic kind of guy so I know totally nothing about creams and the rest. As a matter of fact, I've not applied any cream to my face in years. Na vaseline things. Just as I'm trying to add some weight to my skinny looking self, I'd also love to become finer for face. I need a total face and body overhaul.

What are the creams to do the magic? What are the herbs? Abeg, just helep me with suggestions. I no wan bleach oh! And please, if you're just here to market your fake products to me, just stay away.
I only need confirmed and tested ways to look less of an "ojuju" and more of a fresh 20s male ready to mingle.

Who tell you say Lala fine

Lol. Let's tell ourselves the truth. To have a smooth and fair face, you must tone you skin a lil bit. I use to be as dark as charcoal until i started toning without even knowing it and am happy with the outcome. Skin toning is not as bad as people paint it .

Stay away from toning/bleaching lotions, cos at first u will like the outcome, but sooner or later u may regret ever using them.

So a whitening/exfoliating soap and lotion will do.

START Dudu osun or any good exfoliating soap, for a month. To exfoliate those dead layers of your skin.
Get good cream and soap. Any brand; Olay, dove, nivea, palmers etc.
Use morning and night.
Avoid sun or get a sunscreen to cover your skin anytime you know u will stay under d sun for too long.

If I upload the picture, your phone would fall from your hands out of horror. I don't want to be held responsible for damaging your phone.

Its simple to get cos there r alot. Jst walk into a reputable supermarket.
If the soap is an exfoliating/whitening, it will be written on it, same goes for the lotion as well.
