Have you ever longed for fairer, brighter skin? Strange isn’t it? How some very fair ladies feel they look sickly and bask in the sun for a so called healthy tan. They were healthier pale than browned because a tan is a sign of sun damage. If you are born brown, then you would be the envy of these women. Then again, the grass is always greener on the other side. Dark girls often want to be fair.
Modern technology is amazing. A pale girl can get tan skin without even stepping out in the sun. Thanks to self tanners in the form of lotions or even pills.
Likewise, dark girls can go fairer. Going to a plastic surgeon for skin bleaching can give you very drastic results. Your best bet is to stay out of the sun and use sun protection and wear long sleeves and pants by day to allow your skin fade to the color you were born with.
An old home remedy to fade away the freckles and dark spots with lemon juice. It is a risky thing because lemon juice is very acid pH2. Sulphuric acid is just 1 point away at pH1, so you can imagine how acidic lemons are. You could end up burning or irritating your skin with lemon juice. At very least, it would make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. UV exposure triggers off melanin production. If your skin is continuously irritated, not just by sunlight, but by pollutants and allergens, your skin will react by producing more melanin and darkening even further.
Basically, your skin gets dark because melanin is produced by your skin, to shade it from the sun. The freckles, dark spots and even the even tan is due to melanin clustering together to protect your skin.
To get fair, you slowly exfoliate off the darkened skin over time and prevent the new skin from darkening. As the darkened dead skin cells are rubbed off, younger,lighter skin is revealed. It takes time no doubt, but the results are worth the wait.
There are several things commonly used to lighten the skin.
Hydroquinone is one of them but in higher concentrations, it can cause irritations and may even be carcinogenic. It makes skin lighter by preventing melanin from being formed.
Alchemilla a plant popular amongst the alchemists in the Middle Ages, slows the release of melanin pigments to your skin, hence slowing down the darkening of your skin.
Kojic acid is used to to prevent melanin formation.
Black-Out Yeast Complex, a formula by clinique, used extensively in its Derma White range breaks down the melanin clusters so that these can be disposed of via exfoliation and defuses irritants that would otherwise darken the skin, through its delivery of antioxidants. Most importantly, it prevents more melanin from forming by blocking away the signals to produce melanin.
Then there are the skin bleaching treatments by a plastic surgeon using AHAs or retin-A amongst other things. These are for more drastic results. For something gentler, I suggest you get a skin whitening range from your favourite skin care brand.

Have you ever heard the term written all over your face? Wrinkles, dark spots and premature aging are the signs of stress, poor diet and dangerous environmental elements written all over your face.
Aging is a natural process, but nobody has to “age gracefully” anymore thanks to advanced skincare technology. And it doesn’t take Botox or expensive plastic surgery to fight the signs of aging. A good night cream can effectively work to build collagen and elastin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and lighten age spots leaving you with firmer, fresher, more supple-looking skin—and your age is anybody’s guess.
Applying a nighttime cream will be the easiest part of your entire skincare regimen. Just put it on before you go to sleep and let cream do the work for you.
It rejuvenates your skin after it has been exposed to the elements all day. Moisturizes and protects the skin Helps to repair damage from free radicals Supports the skin’s cell renewal process. Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Night creams work with your body’s biorhythms. While the body sleeps, skin rejuvenates because muscles relax and pores open up. This allows the beneficial ingredients in night creams to penetrate deeply and work more efficiently.1
A superior nighttime skin cream should contain these time-tested ingredients:
Retinyl Propionate.1 This is a form of vitamin A and a powerful antioxidant which supports the repair of damaged cells and assists in the synthesis of new cell formation. Retinyl propionate also protects the skin against UV rays.. Retinyl propionate is converted to retinoic acid—which plays a role in reducing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to lighten skin pigmentation.
Glycolic Acid.2 This is an AHA (Alpha hydroxyl acid) which is a powerful exfoliant that removes dead skin cells on the skin surface. It is also act as a mild astringent and toner to tighten skin.. It has a natural skin brightening effect and supports collagen synthesis and moisturizes skin, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
L-Ascorbic Acid3 is a form of vitamin C, a natural antioxidant. It supports collagen synthesis, reduces melanin formation and provides skin whitening effect when applied locally. . It protects against sun damage.
Licorice extract4 contains glabridin, which is an herbal skin lightener. Glabridin inhibits hyperpigmentation by preventing tyrosinase enzyme synthesis. Tyrosinase is responsible for melanin synthesis and pigmentation of skin. Licorice extract also has anti-inflammatory properties.
No matter what your skin type is it will surely benefit from a nighttime skin care routine. NightSkin acts as a facial, providing you healthy skin benefits while you sleep.
