It can help some but your skin will still darken no matter how much sunblock you put on. It does help to prevent skin cancers like melanoma and sunburn though. I use the highest SPF I can find and it helps to not let my skin get so dark.

try jergens, or another lotion that darkenss the skin. these look totally natural cause they darken your skin tone, not paint something on it. also, if you need to tan quickly, try natural airbrush enhancement (not airbrush tanning)

You will progressively get darker and darker as your skin is damaged more and more by sunburn. Use sunscreen - the sun will make you wrinkled as you grow older and will make your skin like shoe leather eventually if you keep damaging it.

Well my grandma told me putting lemon on them helps. I don't really have that problem but my friend tried it and it worked pretty good. But you can try to find out what it is in the lemon that fades the dark stains and buy a cream with the same thing. Because i don't think u want to put lemon on. Probably some pigment fading cream for dark spots sking brightner will work too.

Because of the hormone that makes your skin light or dark.  The more melatonin you have the darker the skin.  If you have light skin you should use a sunscreen or stay out of the sun.  Or in about 20 years you'll look like a prune.

Avoid sunlight, use a very high SPF every day, even when it isnt sunny (because UV rays can come through clouds), try a "fade creame" which contains at least 2% hydroquinone, exfoliate your skin (use like a sugar or salt scrub) and moisturize.

Try lotions with "shimmer" or bronzer in them. They have some by the Jergens brand. I don't know the name but its cheap @ Wal-Mart. As for your face they sell skin brighteners some by the Revlon brand.

Funny, I have sometimes thought it would be better if my skin was darker ...so I wouldn't burn in the sun....However, I think anything that would lighten skin might damage skin...I wouldn't mess with it.  But if you feel the need I would talk to a dermatologist.

I also suffer from SAD and have been successfully utilizing a tanning salon, in the winter months only, with great results.  I realize UVA/UVB rays can be harmful, but I use sunblock and I only go 2 times a week during Dec./Jan./Feb.; by then, spring is back where I live and I can be outdoors again.

http://www.webmd.com/content/article/11/1671_52405\n\nWhat I've found on the web says it's not a whitening thingy but an anti oxidant.\nAll whitening creams are cancerous.\nMelatonin is a natural sun protection.\nThe darker the skin the more natural sunblock you have and the less money you have to spend on expensive sun lotions or sunblock.

Use the lotions they have now with a small amount of self tanner in them. In about two weeks you'll have a really nice, even, natural looking cancer free tan that won't age you one bit. I use them and they work great. I don't do the lying out in the sun thing anymore. I'd rather be white as ghost and still look 25 when I'm 45 than worship the sun and look like a raisin by the time I'm 35.

yes. When I was a child we did not use sun block and I rarely got a sunburn but now my kids have to use it or they fry!

The reading I've done suggests that glutathione does not whiten skin, but it is the most prevalent antioxidant in the skin and may help combat the ill effects from the sun from both UVA and UVB rays.  \n\nIf you want to prevent tanning or burning you need to use a good sunblock - protection level of 30 is good.  Actually 30 is the highest level possible chemically.  Any label that suggests higher than 30 is misleading.\n\nI hope this is of some help.

I know it's a cultural thing, but you'd better embrace your dark skin, there's so many people who try to get your color.  I suppose that if you remain in cooler climates your skin will lighten up on its own.  Mine does without me trying.

You have two different problems the first one is your oily skin. For that, wash your face with neem soap three times a day followed by applying sunscreen moisturizer… it is essential\n\nSecondly, your skin is turning dark. It clearly shows that you are exposing your self more in the noon sunshine. For protection wear cap, trousers and full sleeves shirt and cotton gloves while venturing out in sun. \n\nIn addition, apply sunscreen lotion on your face and on the exposed pats of your body and take bath daily. Calamine lotion is also considered effective.
