Skin Darkening from Glutathione Soap

i have been using the glutathione soap for a week now to lighten my complexion 2-3 shades lighter and rid my face of my hyperpigmentation. i notice that my skin is getting darker everyday instead of lighter, even though i see peeled dark skin washing down the drain my skin is still darkening why is that? i did everything according to the instructions but I don't understand what's going on now.

Answer:

Hi Ahijah, you're only using the glutathione soap for a week. The 'ashy' look is a normal side effect, as the skin is drying because of skin peeling. Make sure you use the soap once a day only, moisturize at night if necessary, and wear at least SPF 45 sunscreen at daytime when outdoors especially 9am-5pm.

Remember, peeling skin IS sun sensitive and can get darker than before, so avoid as much sun exposure as possible during this peeling period.

If the peeling is getting uncomfortable for you, use the soap less often, within your comfort level. Give it a little more time. You are still in the first stage of the process. :)
