    Getin my old colour back

    Hi to everbody who reads this,and thanks to whoever replies.My skin really use to be white before,i have never used sun creams and that when sitting in the sun.I had stayed 10 months in india in 1999 after i cme back i had a really nice tan.In 2003 i had small patches of psoriasis on my face so i went to doctors and was given a steriods cream to use on my face and that made my skin go dark.Few of my mates have said that your skin use to be so nice before and white,they havent meant it in a offensive way.I would liketo know what homemade stuff i can use to get my old colour back.I would also be really grateful if someone could tell me any homemade medicines for psoriasis,i am born in england i live here but dont really like to go doctors here because they just give you creams which are full of steriods and really harmfull,cos i know people who go doctors and hospitals every week with psoriasis and it has really damaged their skin.My psoriasis comes and goes but this time of the year it gets quite bad on my hands and on my ears and around my ears.I would be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions.I think i should just move to india when i go there it all gets better and i can eat anything anyone offering a place lol.The other thing is could anyone please tell me is gram flour with honey and rose water good for a face mask?For spots and blackheads and how many times a week should you use it?Thank you to whoever replies sorry for the long long message

    Re: pls help me....

    Hi austina,

    Recently, I read this article from Sunkan ( see in the fwd message forum) about moisturizer, sun scream lotion, fairness cream etc. it says....

    Myth: "Fairness cream will transform me from a black beauty to a swan"

    Fact: No one is going to offer you a movie role after three months of applying any cream in the world. Your skin colour is largely genetic and fairness products can make a difference of a few shades. Be realistic in your expectations. Yes, with intensive skin improvement, under a dermatologist' s supervision, your skin can definitely become more even toned, less patchy, healthier and up to 30 to 35 per cent lighter -- but no one can make you Snow White -- that's a fairy tale!


    Anyhow, if you're very particular about complexion...consult a skin specialist!

    All the best!

    Re: pls help me....

    hi augustina,

    She would have been given some whitening pills...did you consider the side effects....what would happen....as anushiv has mentioned..there is no fool proof whitening scheme...she may have lightened....

    If you are really interested still try a reliable skin /cosmetologist.....

    Re: problem... TANNED DARK FACE N NECK...

    For neck apply coconut oil & after 15 or 20 mis wipe off with cotton. This should be done before taking bath. Do this regularly you can see the difference.

    Actually my mom had this problem. A skin doctor adviced her to do the above remedies. She had a good improvement.

    Main thing is dont wear a very heavy chains in neck regularly. Or just adjust a bit bak of neck to avoid these black ones. For some the yellow thali ropes may cause these problems.

    I normally apply coconut water, cucumber juice, tomato, orange etc to maintain colour. Do bleach & facial. That will improve your colour.

    Love
    Preethi

    Re: problem... TANNED DARK FACE N NECK...

    Hi Snowwhite,

    If it is suntan then you can mix equal parts of lime juice and honey together.
    Apply to your face and neck daily before going to bed for about ten minutes.
    Just wash it off and go to bed. Do not apply anything else.

    If you go about in the sun often, as soon as you return apply buttermik to your face, neck and hands. Wash it out after 15 minutes. This will surely help reduce your problem.

    If you have hormonal problems, then also you'll get darker .
    Love
    Latha :wave
