hi maria, i need your help please. i am 16 years old and i have really big skin issues. i am from the caribbean but i have lived in the U.S for 10 years. My skin tone is a 6 on your skin tone chart.

I have oily acne prone skin on my face. my acne leaves scars on my face. My neck, underarms, stomach,knees and elbows, lower back, inner thighs (close to privates) and butt are like 3 shades darker than the rest of my body. my chest, arms, hands and legs are very pale.

plus i have light stretch marks on my butt and legs. i look like a zebra. i dont feel pretty at all, i feel really self conscious especially since i play volleyball and run track where the uniforms consist of short shorts.

i am truly sorry for writing so much i know you are busy. i know you have to be 18 years and older to use dermaline and Diana products. But is there an acception. if not what else can i do.i have extremely low self esteem.

i do not have sensitive skin but low self esteem.

Answer:

Hi Angel, you can start with our mild skin lightening soap, Diana Stalder Black Soap. It might be a mild solution appropriate for younger skin, but it is your first step to address uneven skin tone.

But you have to remember to minimize sun exposure when using any skin lightener. Sun exposed areas of skin during skin lightening can become darker than before. You are young and can be adventurous under the sun because of love for sports and the outdoors. This is one concern why young skin seldom achieve success in skin lightening problem dark spots, especially the face.

As long as you use the skin lightening product properly, wear sunscreen daily, you will be on your way to achieve your goal eventually. :)
