I hope Palmer's doesn't contain hydroquinone. If it does, don't use it extensively. The 'chest pimples' are likely just breakouts from stress. It's very common with doctors and other professionals in high-pressure environments. It clears off by itself. The body often heals itself. You just help it with a good diet. But you can go thru the thread for the pages where pimples and blemishes were discussed. @princess. Nivea naturally even is a good fade for the body. Maybe Makari caviar face cream for the face after the burn heals. Avon face cream is superb, but hard to find.@soye. There's no getting out of seeing a dermatologist. He'll take a look and know precisely what to recommend. In the meantime cover face overnight every night for at least six weeks with a mix of local shea butter and raw aloe vera. It's important to avoid sun and eat tons of fruits and vegetables to help your skin heal itself. Use a gentle moisturiser on your face, one with no lightening ingredients whatsoever.

The previous was for gedilez, baby. I can't recommend a fade cream for you, as I don't know what kind of oil or burn it was. I'll just take it like an ordinary burn, shall I? Honey heals skin. Mix honey and red oil and apply on the spot every night overnight for two weeks. You can't use fade cream on a burn. It needs to heal. Dry skin. I hear Olay Quench is great for dry skin. There are different kinds. Perhaps you might try the Quench that richly moisturises and removes spots and blemishes at the same time. Saw it once while buying moisturiser. I'm sure it's available locally as well.

How're you doing, girl? The only thing that darkens skin is the sun. There is no cosmetic ingredient that can darken your skin. The more you expose your skin to the sun, the more melanin is produced on your skin, and the darker you get. A sunscreen is essential. Or a small pretty umbrella whenever you're outdoors. Toners just deep-clean your skin and unclog your pores, stuff like ten-o-six,etc. Since your skin is uneven you could use a fade cream for two months so you're the same colour all over, then stop and go back to your regular lotion. But protect your skin from sun. I'm trying to think of a product that's available here. Nivea Naturally Even might work. It's pocket friendly. Make sure it's original, the cream not the lotion. Use twice daily. When your skin is even, stop. Any good fade cream is fine, any good UK Or US product. Don't buy made in italy, france, etc. Likely fake. Use the toner in the evenings, face and neck with a cotton bud. Then your cream. Don't apply the fade cream to your legs. Only the rest of your body. Palmers sounds fine. See if you can get Jergens shea butter lotion though. When your body is the same tone as your legs, stop the fade cream .Don't forget to drink a lot of water and eat fresh fruit. Avoid excessive sugar. Don't worry. Your skin'll go back to its radiant self.

I just saw a bar indicating my response to FLOS's question, recommending microdermabrasion, is hidden. It's an old post and the lady must have thought I did not answer. I don't understand why posts should be hidden. Girl, you're correct. Almost all the Jergens available locally are fake. If you managed to get an original pls post the store so others can find it. Princess, I don't get your problem. What's sunburn? You might tend to sunburn if your skin is caucasian, especially if you're a redhead. You say Sunburn from an oil? I really don't know much about chemical burns. A dermatologist might help.

No idea, mizruby.
Gedilez, you poor thing, there's just no way to get out of going through the whole thread. All your skin issues have been dealt with. You'll find different solutions. Just pick what works for you. You haven't been taking care of your skin, you don't even moisturise, you say. Of course you'll have skin issues. Your legs are probably lighter because they don't get as much sun as the other parts of your skin.
You need to start moisturising your skin. A simple lotion like Jergens or a neutrogena product will do. Oil-free prodcut. Pimples and skin discolourations have been dealt with. Go thru the thread. You poor thing. Stress causes breakouts too, so you might want to take it easy at work. And you might need a toner like ten-o-six because of the oily skin. You can also make your own toner by mixing four parts water to 1 part alcohol.
Don't fret. You'll be fine. Your skin will resolve its issues if you give it help.

hello mad_max, pease i have these scars which is bothering me, on ma legs. i read about the rejuveness and silicon sheets and i need to have them. pliz how can i get them. am in nigeria. thanks

No idea, girl. Heard about it on the thread. Meanwhile you could try microdermabrasion.

Soak the skin in water for 10 minutes. Tub or shower. Then apricot scrub+aloe vera on the spots and scrub with a skin brush for three minutes.

Or use salt on a moist face towel to scrub, but be gentle so you don't take off too much skin.Before lasers they used salt to remove tattoos! Two minutes if it's salt.

Do it 5 to 8 times a month--NOT MORE.Skin needs to heal--for 6 months. Works for stretch marks too.

Happy New Year, y'all.

Will probably take a look at cosmetic surgery next.
If you've skin questions post and be a little patient.

@uzoo
Mmm-wah!

Nice. Keep it up.

If you had such grave reservations about jehovah's witnesses, why date the girl in the first place? You figured you'd do precisely what you're doing now? You sound like a control freak and chauvinist, as has been pointed out to you, but of course you can't be expected to see that. You're very blasé about going thru her phone messages. You declare it as a matter of course, with nary a blush. It's evident the girl is as conflicted as you. But you're not really interested in how she feels, in reaching a solution that works for you both. No. After choosing the girl, knowing her religious affiliation, you're on a crusade to have things entirely your own way, and get people to agree with you that you're doing right. I almost feel sorry for her.

Christ man. . how can you put Kakashi and Itachi in one sentence? You've just insulted the Uchiha clan,don't let Susanoo' hunt you down o

Yeah. Kakachi and Itachi had their one fight and Itachi showed who was boss. It wasn't even much of a fight. 'Gai Sensei!'- as Rock Lee orgasmically calls him- had to rescue Kakachi's b, utt. But Kakachi's no slouch himself. The guy was a Hokage nominee na, after Tsunade's encounter with Pain.

BBF& size 12: Good choices, girls.

mitchyy, No idea. Never used it before.

uzoo, Eveything on skin has been treated time and again,including scars. Go thru the thread.

There are HUNDREDS of products on the thread, none containing hydroquinone.  You noticed there are strong warnings against it and other bad ingredients but went rhgough 21 pages of good products looking for the only glancing reference to hydroquinone in a product. I wasn't reviewing or recommending Obagi to anyone there, but was just making a remark.You're funny.

Any study linking youth pregnancy and crime to a dearth of flogging? There are different kinds of people with different temperaments and outlooks so we all have different upbringings.There is no 'we' that have a culture of 'strict' upbringing, and family values have nothing to do with flogging. A child is smaller than you and more vulnerable and will act like a child. It doesn't fall within the purview of a teacher to 'discipline' a child. His only job is to teach, nothing more. Any kind of disciplinary measure is the responsibility of the parents.The child will pass through the school in a while, but will remain the child of his parents for life.

Many of these teachers are sadists. A little power makes people a little mad and we always abuse it. It's not their job to 'discipline' a child, whatever that means. If the child is unruly the parents are told to see to it. Persistent bad behavior and the school will advise the parents to withdraw that child. By the time three or more schools have expelled that kid no one will tell hisparents to take him in hand, no one will tell him to behave himself.

Ghana has done this experiment successfully for decades, and that success is there for the world to see. No beating kids like animals and their educational system is far better than ours with all our flogging, and their society is far better and less corrupt than ours. You see figures showing the evil effects of the practice on kids and people are still yelling for it like it's crack. No wonder we don't progress as a country. It's a fantastic thing Fashola has done, and one hopes other governors will emulate the move.

Lol. No, there's not one thing recommended here that contains hydroquinone. There are warnings through the thread for ladies to steer clear of that. Have heard serious complaints from people I know about some Makari products, esp the Lightening Milk. The Caviar Face Cream is a good product though, and the only Makari product I can recommend. If you've dark skin you're lucky. Glossy, smooth, flawless black skin is very, very beautiful to me. I envy my dark-skinned friends and they know it. I'd trade for it in an instant. Instead of lightening it, bring out the spectacular beauty of dark skin with good nutrition, water, exercise and sunscreen.

You're welcome teetee.

shinatu, guess you'll have to search online for the best shops and bargains, but why do you want Meladerm? It doesn't work for many people. There are better products. Look thru the thread.

uzoo! 'butt pill'

teetee2, buy Jergens only if you're not in the country. The country's overrun with fake Jergens products. It's almost impossible to get the real deal. Please stop using it if you're reacting to something in it. It's very likely fake.

Try AVEENO daily moisturiser or NEUTROGENA BODY OIL, Sesame seed oil. Or AVON skin so soft. They're excellent moisturisers. There's no need to add a thing. If it's Aveeno, check the bottom of the jar. It should have 'made in canada', a production and expiry date stamped on it.

That's a pix of one of the Williams sisters. No silly, fake claims for products here please. Not what the thread is for.

AVEENO ACTIVE NATURALS DAILY MOISTURISING LOTION is EXCELLENT, esp for dry skin, or in cold climes. It's superb.

@mad-max, can it be used on the face??

Yes.

Lol. ThiefofMoney. It's everywhere. It's just overlooked, is all. It's an unbelievable product. 16oz, and the price is just ridiculous. 16 oz of Philosophy would be $240. I gave my sister- in- law some of it in a jar. She came back a week later to ask what I gave her, thinking it was some costly wonder-moisturiser, saying it's cleared her skin up and it's glowing. Of course I felt 'cool' and let her beg very well before I told her what it was.
