How Much Will Wearing Sunscreen Lighten Your Skin?

If you wear it for 3 months(the whole summer.) I usually spend about 1 hour outside a day with no sun screen. How much will I lighten if I go to spending 2 hours outside with spf 70 (or higher) sun block.





P.S. I am african american with skin a shade or two darker than jennifer hudson. I used to be lighter, but i%26#039;ve got darker and darker over the years. So will it lighten me, and how much?|||It won%26#039;t lighten you, it will help protect your skin so the pigment doesn%26#039;t darken. If you protect your skin, it should eventually get back to your natural color. I%26#039;ve had tans last as long as 9 months, but it was very subtle..and i%26#039;m also white. If you want to be lighter, just consistently protect your skin every day before sun exposure.





spf 45 or better is ideal. also opt for shine free/no oil added, especially for your face.|||To my knowledge, there are no %26quot;lightening%26quot; chemicals other than simply avoiding staying outdoors for any periods of time.





SUNSCREENS / SUNBLOCKS are developed only to %26quot;protect%26quot; your skin from the UV-A or UV-B rays from the sunlight or %26quot;block%26quot; them when outdoors, not to lighten the skin.|||It depends on how high the SPF is. The higher it is, the more sun protection you have. Sunscreen doesn%26#039;t lighten your skin. It prevents it from getting burned or really tanned. If you have a lower SPF, you are more likely to get tanned easier. If you%26#039;re aiming for lighter skin, wear a higher SPF, and your skin tan will eventually fade and keep from tanning. Good luck!|||well its made to protect you from harmful UV rays so it doesnt lighten ur skin it basically prevents it from getting darker and it prevents skin cancer. u may not realize it but during the winter you get lighter from the lack of sun. Just try to avoid the sun as much as possible but y u wanna be lighter anyway?


Black is Beautiful : )|||if you begin wearing sunscreen, you may see some lightening. you many not see any at all. some degree of darkening occurs as we get older. i take care of elderly people who have not seen the sun in years and they still have tan lines. darker skinned women tend to retain color more than light skinned women.|||you wont get any lighter...sunscreen will prevent you from getting darker tho.





exfoliating will make you lighter tho because you are sloughing off dead skin cells that have already been tanned..........this in conjunction with using sunscreen and maybe wearing a large brim hat or staying in the shade will def prevent you from getting darker...if thats wat you are trying to do|||Wearing sunscreen will not lighten your skin AT ALL. It will only protect it from getting darker than it already is and if you spend too much time in the sun, even WITH sunscreen, you will still get darker to some extent.|||Why do you want to be lighter I dont understand it.

Does anyone know any good makeup tips for a black haired girl with honey baige skin?

for 29.95 you get your concealer, mineral foundation, mascara and this really great eyshadow and lip glosses. Plus all the brushes you need. I have been nothing short of tickled with the product! Try it! It evens out your skin tone, your skin looks flawless with it and it lasts all day|||get a good bronzer, and a nice beige, and bronze (deep) eye shadow. If you have a good lip gloss, then splurge on those items.|||You coloring will allow for many types and trends.





If your lashes are already long- you could do with a thickening mascara. Try MaxFactor 2000 calories. If you can stretch it, definicils by Lancome or false lash effect mascara by YSL are defo worth investing in.





If your brows then look a lighter shade to your lashes, get any old black mascara-smudge through the brows and then wipe clean. the mascara will instantly tint your brows without looking false or over dramatic coz the excess would have been wiped off.


Eye shadows-its up to you- but some advice on application:


the darker color to go along the lash line, the same to highlight the arac and the lighter colors as the base and brow bone.





For olive/honey toned skins- a foundation that has a slight yellow tinge will be good.


If your eye area is dark..find a highlighter and concealor in one (remember a concealor will only darken the area as it can go grey)..so a highlighter will counter act this. Try Sight Unseen By Prescriptives or SkinFlash by Dior.


apply in the inner corner of your eye only, and blend through! the bridge of your nose will make the eye area look more shadowed.





For blushers-go for light browns/dark plums etc..depending on the look you want. Remember to invest in a light highlighter to dab on your cheek bones, brow bones. if you cant afford one-go for a white/cream single eyeshadow that has a shiny effect.





To contour the face- apply bronxer or a dark shaded concealor on both sides of the nose (the two sides on the bridge) and use a lighter shaded concealor down the middle strip.


apply a dark shaded concealor/bronzer directly under the highest bone point on the cheeks and blend downwards to create a sculptured look. you can also do this along the jaw line.





lips-go for anything! i find with olivey complexions- bronzey colours can look great, but also deep shades of pink as well. it all depends really on your taste.|||I have the same problem, go for light tones and matching foundation also use light eyeliner not to thick or you%26#039;ll look terrible.

Also, what should I do about wearing a bikini?|||I think pale skin is hot. Now if you only have red hair, then I%26#039;d be in love.|||Just because you have pale skin doesn%26#039;t mean you can%26#039;t still be beautiful. It has nothing to do with it.

I get burnt pretty easily too, but i can get a slight tan. i would say moisturize and exfoliate your skin so your skin isnt dry or blotchy, and my skin is so pale, you can almost see the veins :/

Do I really have to remove the skin from my green chiles before I can them?

I have a ton of Anaheim green chilies from my garden and I want to preserve them by canning. Do I really have to remove the skins? Does processing make them tough? When I use them fresh I never peel them.|||yes here is a couple of ways to do it at home. I buy over 200 lbs of green chile a year.





Home Roasting without a Chile Roaster





This is time-consuming and usually produces uneven roasting that makes the chiles harder to peel, but it can be done. Some people enjoy this process.














Select firm, meaty chiles without wrinkles for


roasting. Wash them thoroughly.





If you are roasting them in the oven, place them evenly in a single layer on a cookie sheet. A sheet of foil will help make cleanup easier. Place in the oven about 4-5 inches under the broiler element.

















The skin will blister and turn black within minutes, so you need to monitor them closely. Turn the peppers as required to blister all sides evenly. The aroma wafting through the kitchen is a sign they are almost done.














With a good gas grill, you can roast them outdoors. Place them evenly on the grill close to the flame so you can roast them at a high heat. Monitor closely and turn to blister evenly on all sides.











When done, the pepper skins should be evenly blistered and mostly black. Place them on a plate and then empty the plate into a heavy-duty plastic bag. The chiles should sit in the bag for at least a half hour to let them steam. This loosens the skin, allowing you to slide them off easily.











Select a convenient bag size suitable to your cooking habits. Many freeze chiles whole with skins on. Some believe freezing with skins on improves the flavor. Some prefer to peel them (the skins just slide off) and some even remove the stem and seeds before freezing.











Remember that thawed roasted chiles do not keep well, less than a week in the refrigerator. It is wise to smaller bags rather than larger to avoid having your chiles turn into science projects.

Make sure you get the cream, not the lotion. I get these terrible flaky dry patches and this stuff has worked like a charm. It%26#039;s also unscented and doesn%26#039;t have any dyes, so it won%26#039;t irritate your skin if you have allergies or exzema.

The Cocoa Powder Mask Cocoa powder may be a popular baking ingredient but it also makes one of the best masks for a dry skin problem.





Prepare a mixture of two cups cocoa powder, two tablespoons dairy cream, and one to two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. The consistency may have to be worked with and the ingredients altered slightly until you have a thick paste, one that won鈥檛 fall off too easily once applied. The olive oil will prevent the mixture from drying out prematurely.





The mixture is approximately twenty-five to thirty percent linoleic acid which is the ingredient that will do the job

It brings out your freckles, but also says that you%26#039;re feminine and flirty.|||I think that a light color is good because if you have a darker color like black then you look like you are Gothic (i don%26#039;t know maybe you want that look) or you look like you are very ill but a lighter blond kind of makes it look more natural and lighter colors so good luck!!!!

I'm new to the makeup industry, Is Prescriptive foundation good for blotchy oily skin?

Is the customization worth it?|||If your skin is sensitive at all, mineral makeups are far superior to anything made with creams. oils, waxes, preservatives, dyes, or perfumes.





I find that it stays far less oily than liquid or stick makeup as well on my own oily skin.





You don%26#039;t need to buy a Bare Minerals $60 set up to try it. Almost every drug store in the US carries at least one brands of mineral-only makeup now, and the foundations come in dozens of color tones even at a cheap store. The contents are the same in almost all of the brands too, since it%26#039;s VERY simple stuff -- just find a color you like that comes in a form-factor you like and spend $10. If you hate it, you can always return it -- or be out $10, which is no big deal. |||I know a few people who have purchased it and did not have all that great results. They found it to be too expensive and not living up to its promise. These same people found Bare Minerals to work better as they can customize the colors themselves and it improved their skin. Bare Minerals worked well on my skin too.





It seemes expensive, but it last a long time! My regular size bare minerals last 4-5 months with using it about twice per day (I speak in public at night so I am always doing touch ups come the evening). It lasts throughout the day far better than any other make up I have tried, lasting 8 or 9 hours with no touching needed. |||um dunno ask people where u buy ur makeup

Not once have my clothes been ruined by it and I have been using it for 2 yrs now. 1 time they came out w/the lavender scent, so nice.|||A good lotion rich in Antioxidants is a start. Try avoiding lotions with perfume. Perfume has alcohol wich inturn, dries out your skin. Also, drink plenty of water. I know I might sound like your parents, but drink 8 glasses of water a day.

What does it mean when a cat is licking and biting at his fur and skin?

Our neighborhood cat stays outside and we%26#039;re not sure who it belongs too but it gets fed and watered.

Then there is Fake-n-Bake (no not tanning beds, it%26#039;s the product name), which %26quot;fools people like no other brand I know%26quot;. Though if you have sensitive, dry, or oily skin, some tan-in-a-tubes can irritate, or cause breakouts. So read labels before you buy.|||According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless- or self-tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the upper layers of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with the dead skin cells, a color change occurs. This change usually lasts about five to seven days from the initial application.





Every day, millions of dead skin cells are sloughed off or worn away from the surface of your skin. In fact, every 35 to 45 days, you have an entirely new epidermis. This is why tans from sunless- or self-tanning lotions will gradually fade -- as the dead cells are worn away, so is your tan. For this reason, most of these products suggest that you reapply the sunless- or self-tanner about every three days to maintain your %26quot;tan.%26quot;





Taking all of this into consideration, we made it our mission to perfect the sunless tanning phenomenon by creating a 3 step system to ensure the perfect “tan” every time.





The key to creating the perfect tan, is creating the perfect palette for the color to adhere. Since the DHA ingredient reacts to dead surface skin cells, uniform removal of the skin is necessary to ensure that the color is reacting to common layers of cells. When skin cell removal is not uniform, self tanning products will cause a “blotchy” application. With Leg Apeel, sexy summer legs are just 3 steps away:





Step 1: Peel!


At night, before going to bed, apply the Leg Peel to your legs. This lotion based, glycolic acid and enzyme peel is designed to loosen dead surface cells while you sleep. Overnight, Leg Peel loosens dry, dead skin cells, especially on the knees and ankles, so when you use the Leg Scrub the next morning, you get ultimate exfoliation power. Cover your legs with Leg Peel prior to before going to bedtime and allow to dry before going to bed.





Step 2: Scrub!


In your morning shower, Leg Scrub polishes and smoothes skin for the best application of Self Tanner for Legs. Massage gently onto the skin – paying special attention to your knees and ankles. Rinse and shave your legs. This blend of sugar and salt leaves legs silky soft and moisturized. The hydrating residue left on the skin after rinsing will provide a lubricated base for the self tanner to be applied to. This will help ensure that you get an even application, minimizing streaking.





Step 3: TAN!


Self Tanner for Legs contains advanced ingredients for an even, natural looking tan that is never “orangey”. Start at your ankles, applying the tanner sparingly on ankles and knees, and work your way up, massaging into the skin in a circular motion. The tanner is tinted to help you know where you’ve applied the product to ensure even coverage. Avoid contact with your clothing until the product is dry. For deeper color, wait at least 24 hours before re-applying. Color should last for several days, but you will want to re-apply at least weekly to maintain color.

How do I achieve getting smooth clear skin, naturally?

I have mild acne, and acne scars. What are ways of treating them?





%26amp; how much water should I consume in one day?|||You should start by taking multivitamins, a lot of us don%26#039;t get the nutrients we need for our bodies to take care of things like skin and scars. I think you should also use creams or soaps for the acne, like certain products from Clean %26amp; Clear or Neutrogena. Drink water when you are thirsty, but if your urine is yellow after doing this then experiment with amounts until you notice that your urine is clear. (The amount is different for everyone.)|||ok naturally there is one way that is the MOST effective but first i%26#039;m gonna give you some advices....


1. Don%26#039;t get rid of them using your hands they will get worse.


2. Keep your hair clean and away from your face.


3. Try to minimize chocolate bars and chips, ketchup. etc..


4.Clean you face with a special product for acne, clean and clear, neutrogena, eucerin are good choices.


5 The natural way... please forgive my colombian english...


Get clay or mud... in an art store, its easy to find it!!!


ok once you have it, it usually comes on a plastic bag keep it inside of it or it%26#039;d get dry and get useless... Get a papercup and put water inside of it get some of the mud with three fingers will be enough, mixed it with the water so it would be easier to handle it, softly apply it on your skin, keep it away from your eyes, wait until it is dry about 25 min, then remove it with cold water and your skin will look and feel amazing.... do it twice a day morning and night!

Does tanning cover up irregularities in the skin?

I%26#039;m only 27 and I started noticing that I have some spider veins in my legs that are pretty ugly. I also have very pale, white skin. Just wondering if tanning will make these veins less noticeable. If so, will a fake tan (sunless) help just as well?|||Yes, it will help hide your veins. Personally, I think a combination of a real tan in addition of a self tanner works best. Without a real tan, self tanners tend to make people look orange. Without a self tanner, you have to expose your skin to a lot of sun which can cause damage. If you%26#039;re worried about skin cancer, use a tanning lotion that contains caffeine like: https://www.bikinikitchen.com/Products/1鈥?/a> There are a lot of studies out there that claim that caffeine may prevent skin cancer: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en%26amp;q=caf鈥?/a>|||yes it will, and no don%26#039;t use a sunless tanner, you could turn orange or get streaks. real tanning is the best way it will actually make your skin less oily and your will have fewer pimples and it will hide stretch marks. i also have spider veins and when i tan it covers them very well. just start out slow and don%26#039;t overdo it, because you will burn if you do. tan no more than every 24 hours and when you get where you want to be know when to only go enough to maintain your tan.|||My skin all over always looks better when it%26#039;s summer and I go tanning. I only go a few days a week to keep my base tan, but it keeps my skin looking better. Just don%26#039;t go tanning too much cause that will make your skin look older and much worse. Some of the girls that work at the tanning salon I go to are like 18 years old, but their faces look like they are like 60- it%26#039;s horrible!|||Tanning will help to hide these imperfections, but I personally would go with a sunless tanner.

I%26#039;ve tried SO many things. ever since I moved to a dry city, my skin got really dry. before it was really oily.





what are some at-home recipes?|||Use olive oil as a moisturizer, it works wonders and doesn%26#039;t clog your pores.|||Straight coconut oil is all I have used on my skin for the last three months. It%26#039;s really nice. If you buy it, get the good stuff: organic, unrefined, virgin coconut oil. Whole Foods would carry it or a local coop or other health food store. A little truly goes a long way and if you use the right amount and rub it in well, there will be NO grease on your skin. Use it on your face or after shaving. If your skin is greasy afterwards, you are using too much. You really need a small amount.





It can also keep your skin healthy because it has anti-viral and antimicrobial properties to it.|||Straight olive oil is great, especially at night - but it can leave stains on your pillow case. You can mash up avocado too, and apply that (while you%26#039;re laying in a warm bath). Get some old-fashioned cold cream at the drugstore.

eyeshadow- turqouise, purple , brown,golden. bright colors


nail polish- bright colors|||For eyeshadows, use pale gray, slate blue, purple, or pink becuase they%26#039;ll stand out against your skin tone.

For lipstick, I would say just pale pink. Or else you could also try plums, reds, and mauves if you want to be more bold.

Best way to get rid of peeling skin from sunburn?

I went to the lake and got sunburned about a week ago but just recently started peeling on my face. I got blisters on my nose but I am already taking care of that.





I keep using a scrub on my forhead (Which is where the main peeling is) and it works for about an hour then I look in the mirror and I%26#039;m still peeling! Does anybody know how to stop it for good? I need it gone by saturday night.|||Aloe Gel! It will hydrate your skin and stop the peeling.|||this happens to me all the time because i have very senstitive skin... wat i do is use aloe vera gel and the 100%one and apply it as many times in a day as i can.. my routine is usually keep it on for about an hour or two then wash it off and let the skin rest for an hour and then do it again... also if u wash ur face with a exfoliating cream too much it could make things worse as the new skin comes up because u will be exfoliating that too.. so just let the new skin come up and us the aloevera gel and if there are pieces u can take off by urself do it but dnt force it... hope this helps i kno ur face can b a pain sometimes|||buy neutrogena%26#039;s after-sun treatment.
