I really want to try your products, but I don't know where to buy them.

Dear Maria, I'm a 16 year old girl from the Netherlands. I'm Chinese, but I've a very dark skin. Most people think I'm Indonesian or something and if I say I'm Chinese, they think I'm a mix. I don't like it when people ask me all those questions why I look that way, it hurts me.
So, around a year ago I started reading about bleaching products and I wanted to use it too. But since I live in the Netherlands, it is very hard to find those products(a lot of things are forbidden here). After a while I finally found a bleaching product, but it didn't work. Few months later I found "Fair an lovely". I've seen a lot of commercials on the internet and I thought it would help so I bought it two times, but it didn't work for me either. At this moment I have A3 lemon cream, but I just read at your site that it contains hydroquinone so I'm going to throw it away.

I almost had lost my hopes, till few days ago when I found this site. I'm really glad that I found this site and that you give so much helpful information about skin lighting, I want to thank you for that:)

But my problem is that I don't know where to buy your products in the store. I don't want to buy it on the internet, cause that way my mom will find out (she doesn't want me to use these kind of products). I really want to try your products and become much lighter.

And also, do I have to use sunscreen spf 50+, even though I live in the Netherlands?
Can you please help me?

Answer:

Hi Wan, if only I could guarantee to you that our skin whitening products WILL work for you, I would. I'd be lying. But I can give you hope that it CAN work for you. You see my dear, results depend on your skin sensitivity.

Since you have young skin, try using the Diana Stalder Black Soap which is a mild skin lightening soap that you can use as your daily bath soap. Skin lightening would be slow and gradual but daily use will help in achieving your results. I can't blame your mom for not allowing you to use any of these. I'm a mom too. But I'm sure the black soap would be fine for you. Just skip the whitening lotion and cream this time.

What you can do to purchase is thru Western Union or moneygram. The instructions are at the bottom of the page.

And yes, wear sunscreen whenever you expose yourself to the sun between 9am-5pm to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun, especially if you're using any skin lightening product.

And the feeling of gratitude is mutual. You are so sweet for telling us that. :)

Take care,
Maria
