Skin Whitening.?

Let me tell you something. Whenever I get a tan, my skin STAYS tan. Recently, there's this big swimming competion which I took part in. [Won second place out of 10 btw. WHOOT.] My skin looks ROASTED. I swear. Not tan. Tan is a pleasant mix of brown caramel colors. Mine is just brown and black. Ew right? How can I get my skin to look whiter fast? I've been using lotions but it doesn't seem to work. I feel like I have to wait a month before it gets a slight shade whiter. Plus I don't like to use creams because I have sensitive skin so even if I get my arms and legs lighter my face will still be the same. How can I get my face lighter?





And get this. When I use sunblock I get DARKER. The professional swimmers I've worked with shared with me that they don't use sunblock. They said it prevents sunburns, not skin darkening. True enough, when I didn't use it, my skin didn't get as dark. Sheesh. What to do what to do?

Reply:I don't know why you're so afraid to look darker. It's not unusual, and a lot of people think it's beautiful. Just look at all the black supermodels on tv.





Anyway, your skin is getting darker because you have a lot of the brown type of melanin in your skin. Your body produces more of it when you are in the sun a lot to protect you from skin cancer. If you don't want to look dark, try only swimming at indoor meets and staying away from sunlight. Sound irrational? It is.

Reply:I'm Asian and I have the same problem as you. There's only one way to get your face whiter, and that's to use whitening masks and whitening products. Shiseido WhiteLucent cleanser, toner and moisturiser is GREAT for whitening, and for me, I could see the results in about 10 days after I started using it. Also, you could try using a sunblock product from Asia. Asians want to stay whiter and generally their sunblocks have more ingredients in it to whiten the skin and stop the skin from tanning. You should try www.sasa.com and look for whitening products there.





Also to clarify one point, it might just be a coincidence with those professional swimmers that they don't use sunblock and don't get dark, but in actual fact, most sunblocks aren't very effective in preventing sunburn, but they do stop the sun's ray's from increasing melanin in the skin - the more melanin in the skin the darker it is. So, in actual fact, using sunblock should stop you from getting darker.
