Hi Maria,using the black soap and whitening cream from dermaline and sometime rotating it with the kojic soap(for 2 weeks now), my face is now looking darker,burnt and dry.Am I doing something wrong?

Answer:

Hi Honey, you may be overusing the skin whitening soaps. The papaya soap is particualrly stronger than the Black Soap so try sticking with the black soap first (plus the whitening cream) for a while.

Skin lightening can cause dryness because of the peeling process. When skin tends to get too dry, it gets a bit ashy-looking.

For now, your skin needs hydration so use your favorite moisturizer daily. You can resume the use of the black soap and cream after a week or two.

ANother cause for darkening of skin is not wearing sunscreen when outdoors at daytime. You see, skin lightening, expecially during peeling, makes skin sun sensitive. If you look back at the instruction sheet, skin lightening without sunscreen is a futile effort.

Let me know how this goes after 2 weeks. :)
