That cream is laced with harsh chemicals like steroids and HQ. The green veins is as a result of clobetasol, a potent steroid. while the dark knucles is as a result of high % of HQ.

Hi
What about "looking good" the lotion. Does it contain these bad chemicals you listed up there

toren:


It has the most pleasant smell ever but darkened my skin so stopped using it.

Duggedised12:
VicThoria, know the type of skin you have . Using heavy oils like shea butter and coconut oil on an oily skin at this stage will only burden your skin pores and trap dead skin cells thereby making you shades darker. Know that at this time your skin is at a delicate stage, going natural is the way but you must know exactly how to ,lest you over work your skin.



What you need now is pore healing and exfoliating. If you have access to natural aleovera , blend the juice and apply to the all over your skin before going to bed.Then try black soap for exfoliating, check for the ones that has tee tree oil or salicylic acid in it.

CalliDora1:


Lol .. was just trying to warn her and the public of that cream.

Bibidear:
I used it too.....and it was bleaching my skin,I had to stop... didn't apply cream for a month.

VicThoria:

Pls are u sure of that?

VicThoria:
Hi everyone .
Please i need help oo, i'm chocolate in complexion. I've been using bronztone cream for some months, i was on the second lotion when i started noticing dark knuckles,green veins, sun burn and I started getting too fair

So i stopped it some weeks ago and i haven't been applying anything on my body

I dont want to use any cream again for now. do i need to use anything to get back my natural chocolate color back? or it will come back with time?

CalliDora1:


Jesus Christ!
Did she tell you she's suffering from acne? What's with the BHA and tea-tree oil?

Ok.

Urekaure:


Palmer's COCOA BUTTER LOTION will only Darken you if that's your original colour.

Duggedised12:
You should shout Buddah and Allah as well , how about shango and oronmila? Left those gods out too?


So maybe you should tell me who told you tree tree is meant only for acne.

And you don't need to have a degree to know that due to the harsh chemicals she used previously,when trying to repair ,there will be dead skin cells that need exfoliating.

Sometimes it's not always black and white ,there is pepper red and navy green too .

CalliDora1:


I hear you.

You're recommending a chemical exfoliant for Someone who's skin is already sore and raw from using harsh chemicals? And tea tree for what exactly? When there are other more calming and soothing essential oils like geranium and rosehip EOs that can rejuvenate and repair the skin without irritating it further.

Whatever happened to mechanical exfoliants. Like scrbs and brushes.

Anyways, to each his own.

Duggedised12:
You should rather recommend the soaps she can find them, I mean the geranium if you know ,oh my bad ,I doubt that. There is a reason it's a wash off saop I asked her to get not cream.I see you are the madam know it all .lol


Scrubs and brushes, like seriously? . I think you had enough space to show off in your first comment,don't you think so?

CalliDora1:


It's not about showing off dear. It's what I do for a living. And it makes me cringe to see all that you listed up there cos they are no no for this skin ish. Imagin BHA on a sunburned face.. ouch...

When I say scrubs and bushes, I don't mean abrasive scrubs or your regular hard brush used for boys hair but very soft and tissue like bristtled brush specifically made for the skin. You might want to look that up.

Geranium is not a soap but an EO.

Tkia.

Duggedised12:
And you missed the part where I said ,I recommended she looks for that because it's a wash off and not a stay on. For someone who does this for a living I am sure it shouldn't be hard for you to understand the difference between a wash off and stay on.


I am surprised you were not ready to offer solution to the op in your first comment if it's what you do for a living? Oh I forgot, you just couldn't resist the urge to let us know you know . Seems this is a hobby to you, "oh look at me ,I know so much ,but I won't tell you" yen yen yen

Now this is not about you ,it's about the op, since you know so much ,you either profer a solution for the op or shut up or take up another space outside my mention to continue blowing your trumpet.

CalliDora1:


No need to get worked up dear. If you wanna know, you can go and enroll in a skincare academy or school of cosmetology.its that simple

And it's called, "rinse off" and "leave in" .

Duggedised12:
Here she goes again with her black and white straight path ,try pepper red and aqua green sometimes , . Ehen madam cosmetologist ,I hail you , this your ministry important pass ministry of defense sef.


And by the way, I am far from worked up, come down from the clouds you have your head in,nor be only worked up na work out .

CalliDora1:


Lol ...

I don laugh tire. Shey you want whine me nau, so I showed you two can play that game.

I was only joking. Biko.

Duggedised12:
As you don tell us your qualification, I say make I hail you small na, or someone cannot hail the almighty cosmetologist of nairaland community .

CalliDora1:


Hahahahaaaa.. abeg, go go go.. I'm trying not to laugh out loud. It's already late. Biko.. kikikikiki...

Ok, I hands off!

CalliDora1:


Yes. Looking good contains HQ @ 2% which is the dose the FDA recommends for skincare. Anything higher than that is usually on prescription by a dermatologist and Should be used within a short period for treatments. That is what cosmetic companies are abusing and now using over 8 to 10% in regular skicare products which is damaging to the skin especially in climes like ours which is very hot causing a rebound darking of the skin and skin cancer after long term use.

Though at 2%, it's still not ideal to use long term.

Samorobo2:


How much does this cost?

lastclaire4:


Does it brighten the skin?

kmaster007:
