Question 1

what can i do to get lighter, clearer facial skin?

Accepted Answer

It depends: on what skin condition, if any is affecting your skin complexion, as there are many potential causes and treatments differ based on disorder.  I recommend you see a primary care clinician who has expertise in skin conditions, or a dermatologist.  Don't waste your money on unproven remedies.  Take Care

Question 2

does our skin get lighter in the winter even if you're tan?

Accepted Answer

Not so much lighter : but doesn't tan as much, unless you are in high altitude, without sun protection, and not sunburning. Otherwise, you are still exposed to UVB rays and need to wear sunscreen or sunblock when outdoors.

Question 3

Question 5

what can i do to get lighter skin naturally?

Accepted Answer

Bleaching agents: See a dermatologist who can advise and prescribe a bleaching agent.  This must be used under supervision.

Question 6

how to get lighter skin naturally and permanent?

Accepted Answer

Don't try it, Norma: Please don't try to change the color of your skin. Sunscreen can prevent darkening from tanning. But any chemicals that you try to use will disfigure you -- it simply will not look right or natural. In the US, which sets world trends, judging by skin color is the hallmark of the worst ignorance. Embrace whatever Nature gave you, and remember that good looks are 95% fitness, which you control.

Question 7

how do you get the skin around the anus lighter?

Accepted Answer

Anal Bleaching: Hi

anal bleaching was a fad in america a few years ago and this was usually done at plastic surgeons or dermatology offices.

You could call some of your local clinics that specialize in skin and ask if they do this procedure.

Question 8

if i get my head shaved and there is a stubble and it all dry and lighter than your face?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that happens: Stubble occurs as the hair grows back. The skin is lighter because it was likely previously covered by hair which prevented tanning.

Question 9

how can you get of a small spot on your skin if your skin came in direct contact with fire? the spot is old and maybe lighter by now but still there.

Accepted Answer

Burn marks: There is a little scarring that happens after injury to the skin.  It may heal darker or lighter than the surrounding tissue.  It will improve with time but can persist for years.  Cosmetics may be the best solution if it bothers you.

Question 10

can you tell me how to get my skin tone lighter?

Accepted Answer

Sunblock moisturizer: Many people use over-the-counter moisturizers that contain sunscreen. Avoiding excessive sun exposure will let skin lighten up. One should take extra vitamin D to make up for not getting vitamin D from the sun. Although having tanned skin from sun exposure is not a medical illness, there are a few uncommon hormonal medical conditions that can cause skin darkening, for which a doctor can evaluate.
