How many shades lighter can I get in 5 months

Hi Maria, I am of Japanese ethnicity and intend to lighten my skin for a lot of reasons.
I am a yellow/light olive ish shade and want to get my skin ivory white.
Is this possible?

I estimate that this is around 3-5 shades lighter then my own skin tone, however if I could get even lighter to a pale colour then that would be great-this would be around 7 or more shades lighter.

I am starting college in 5 months and want my skin to lighten up around then, I have ordered the Glutathione soap and use it 3 times a day.
I get some stinging but im noticing results, slowly.

I use whitening creams on and off, including brands such as *edited*. I have not tried other skin whitening products such as lightening serums.

What do you reccomend for the fastest results?

Answer:

Hi Yukiko, your goal is either doable or close to that level, but not impossible. :)

Having come from a Japanese descent, who are known for fair skin tones, achieving a few shades lighter can be done. More than that will depend on your skin sensitivity, and to how much your skin will allow it. It has its limits too.

You have to remember that this may also not work for you. Your results will depend on how your skin type reacts with the skin whitening products you choose to use.

We only recommend using the products ONCE a day, because our skin whiteners are potent. Using them more than that can dry up or overpeel your skin, which is not good, and may darken skin as a result. So take it slowly. But surely.

Skin whitening soaps, lotions and creams are still the fastest way to lighten skin, because you use them directly on skin. Generally, results are expected within 1-4 weeks.

To enhance results better, try to apply a skin whitening lotion or cream right after washing with the skin whitening soap.

Hope that gives you a better idea.
