my skin I badly discolored I have black heads) which is acne and my face color is black and brown. The color of my back is brown and the rest of my body is yellow, I have 3 skin colors it looks horrible. I also have dark under eye circles and acne/bums on my face and body. Is this skin whitening cream permanent and after I stop using this cream will my skin stay light without getting dark ever again.

Answer:

Hi Dyann, much as we wanted to have flawless skin forever, it is not possible. Skin lightening is not permanent, much like any other skin care regimen. As we age, our skin gets imperfections far from what it was when we were a baby. We get wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, dark spots on skin, higher cholesterol level, etc - all because we get older.

That's why you find all kinds of health and skin care solutions over the counter to take care of these problems. Maintenance is something necessary to keep the results lasting.

And skin lightening is no exception. Because the same factors that caused these dark spots on skin will always be there - the sun, friction, dryness, injury, etc.

So yes, you have to keep using the skin whitening cream but not as often as when you started it. Meaning, if you started using the whitening cream daily, maintenance is only 1-2x a week and that will save you on costs.

Hope this helps.
