The difficult areas... Can they lighten?

Hello Maria, I'm an 18 year old african girl (lives in europe) with a dark-brown skin color.I really want to lighten my skin, to achieve that beautiful caramel skin color. I've been thinking about this for sooo long but my family kept telling me NO and how dangerous the whitening products are. But it seems to me that your products are natural and safe, and that's why I want to try them. But first I want to ask you about 2 things.

1. Does the product (i've been thinking about Diana Stalder's) lightens the difficult areas like the dark spot on the fingers bones? Because I know some people who have lightend their skin but the finger bones remains black/dark??

2. Since I'm african I have dark lips too that goes along with my natural skin color. Especially the upper lip is dark. So my question is, do I lighten the upper lip too? Or will it still look natural if I don't lighten the lip...

Thank you & I hope you will help me.

Answer:

Hi Gaby, let me answer you questions -

1. Thick-skinned areas like dark knees, elbows, knuckles (on finger or toe bones), usually take longer to lighten. When the body responds well to lightening products, these thicker-skinned parts seem to need more time. Eventually, it should even out to the lighter skin tone that you want. Just be patient and consistent.

2. The lips are thin and sensitive. You can apply the whitening cream less frequently than when you do do on other parts of the body. Lemon is basically recommended for dark lips (genty rub a slice of lemon 2-3x a day, and moistuize at bedtime because lemon is acidic and can dry out lips).

Results will vary per individual. Yours will depend on your own skin sensitivity to the products. :)
