I dont get it !!!|||Hi. I would advise you to look at the information on the Wikipedia type in %26quot;skin whitening.%26quot; I think you will be horrified by what it tells you about skin whitening.and the chemicals that are in these products.before you put them any where near your face.please take a look!|||if you%26#039;re doing it to even your complexion, i use lemon juice on my face and it has faded my freckles quite nicely.|||Leave your skin alone...you want a problem your going to create one if you mess around with that.|||you could try laser to remove your pigment. it worked for michael jackson|||Over time those things strip your skin ,you dont need to be any fairer|||All skin bleaching products are bad for your skin. Most of the products contain hydroquinone. This can cause immense damage to your skin. It thins your skin out, when you get a cut it is hard to heal etc. It has also been reported to cause cancer. There are products that doesn%26#039;t contain this harmful chemical (such as Likas) but this can also be dangerous as it also thins the skin. I would say don%26#039;t do it as once you stop you go darker than you originally were in the first place it also takes the moisture out of your skin. Seen it many times. Good Luck.
