Hey, i dont know if i should call u "ate maria" or just "maria" but i think "ate maria" would be much polite. :)

so i hope u dont mind me calling you "ate maria" :)

uhm this is victoria again. i would just like to know if i use the black soap and whitening cream on my face will my face become darker before peeling?

i dont have any acne or anything.my face is quite healthy and acne free, its just a little bit darker than the way i want it too,.

my skins not really sensative but i do get darker quite easily in the summer if i stay out in the sun for too long..

since im 15 and kind of cluless can u please tell me how to use it? to make it more successful in working?

and what are the basic steps in using it on my face and on my knee? and how long do i have to keep the soap or cream on my face before washing it off?

will this take more than 1-3 weeks? lol im just realy curious, i've lived in the philippines before so i dream that someday i can have a lighter complexion than i currently have at the moment.

and i ordered the soap and cream on sunday, i live in california when do you think i will get it?

i added a photo so you will be able to see my legs (and scars and discoloration of my legs) -_-

im really exited on using ur whitening products. and i THANK GOD that i found your site :)

Godbless and salamat poh!

Answer:

Ate Maria is fine, Victoria, because I'm sure I'm older than you. :)

The 'ashy' look before peeling is normal and would somehow make skin appear darker. This will fade away after peeling and will reveal a more lighter skin layer in the process.

During summer, protect sun exposed skin with the highest SPF sunscreen you can get (SPF70 or higher is good because Asian skin tends to get darker easily). If prolonged exposure cannot be helped, make sure you re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours.

Use the Black Soap as your normal daily bath soap. The only difference is leaving it on skin for 5-10 minutes before washing off to let the active whiteing ingredients work on your skin better. Then, dab dry with a towel but leave skin a bit damp before applying the whitening cream. Massage cream until dry. Do not wash off until the next bath or facial/body wash.

Results will depend on your skin sensitivity. This can be a week or 2 or 3. Filipino skin usually react positively within the first week.

Yes, you can use the Black Soap and whitening cream on other dark spots on your body, including dark scars.

You will receive your order this coming Thursday, Feb. 19. :)

Take care,
Ate Maria
