Hi,

My GF has dark complexion. She is chinese but looks like malay. I would like her to have whiter, fairer skin.

At the moment she is using Nivea extra whitening Night cream (@ night) and Nivea whitening lotion (@ morning). Both only applicable for body.

Do you have any recommendation on product to use on her face?

I heard abaout Olay/Garnier and Neutrogena.

Which one is the best and produce good result? money no object

Thank you

I think Garnier Whitening cream is good, I was the user too. XD

For daily facewash, you can try nanowhite awakening show wash. It cleans face effectively and prevent pimples.

Garnier Whitening - GOOD product which I've used so far.

But then again, I suggest to modify your diet than those cosmetic products. Adopt more milk, water, yogurt, fruits and soya bean.

Of course you say MONEY no object lah...

This garnier can get from Guardian?

Thanks debbie

All major hypermarket has it in store. Carrefour would do just fine. I think your girlfriend looks just fine. As long as her heart belongs to you, nothing else matters, right?

Regards, Joey

any facial wash make u white for like 5 mins only i think

guys,

do you have any beauty/skin specialist to recommend? I might wanna get her to do a michael jackson skin bleaching...

Thank you

wa.... skin bleaching.. ?
is fair skin so important?

I think wat matter most is someone's heart, not look. BTW, skin bleaching is harmful to skin in long run. Try Shiseido or Kose product for whitening. Its a bit expensive but work wonders. My mum used to look a bit malay too but she got fairer after using the products. I never know coz i got very fair skin, so i never dare to try all those whitening ones. Beaute de kose white succeed range cost about RM500 but very good (according to my mum). U can look for it at metrojaya or parkson. They have special counters.

what you pay for what you get........i wouldnt say the result given by olay...garnier,nivea and neutrogena would be good..those advertisement just pure b/s~so..no need to waste money on these product anymore...the result is very little only..


less exposure to sunlight would help to prevent getting darker...but if you really want her to turn into very fair.....i dun think those product which you buy over the counter will help...

unless you ask ur gf go for what our late MJ did...

bro, using only face whitening products will make her look weird (only facial part is fair). its better to look for foods to consume for overall whitening. and make her use sunblocks and try avoid direct sunlights, etc.

yea.. if u use skincare.. then onli d face will be fair..

I know garnier works, try that n c.

is that really matter what is her skin tone? If you love her, love her as one.

it is still ok if you wanted your gf to use daily product... but then skin bleaching?? is that a lil too much? do you have any idea the effect, pain and the possible consequences you going to cost her?

and have you ever put yourself in her shoe? thinking what is she might be thinking now?

i used to have darker skin color... after staying indoor for years(not in purpose), i got lighter complexion.. at least 4times lighter. and recently just went sunbath, n get tanned again.

hmm, ever wonder whether these whitening products will cause any long term harm in future?

But fear not, there's always make up to cover these aftermaths.

thinking about the consequences of using all these products makes me think that we are all like a giant test rats... we can only discover the harmful effects of a product after long exposure to it (like the harm effect of using plastic as food container).. it makes me wanted to avoid artificial product (for use on human) as much as possible.. just my thoughts..

regarding the skin whitening product, if i were u, i will just accept her as she is.. coz the most important thing to me is her soul and love towards me (i know looks is important, who can deny that, but to me its not that important.. unless if she have a scary scar on the face, only then i will be searching for remedy).. i have a mum that seriously looked like chinese, but my dad didnt go make her look dark to look like a malay.. hehe.. whatever pleases you bro.. n good luck with the relationships.

Go read at wikipedia, seems fair skin has something to do with social supremacy. That's why most people even darker skin people prefer fair skin.

I was born to have fair skin. Nonetheless, I don't see any problem with those who has darker skin color.

I mix with friends from different skin color and some of them are pretty outgoing and sociable, too.

My gf had dark skin too, it's not me but her.
She said, a girl in fair skin look classy, prettier, elegant and younger.
She feel inferior when she saw a beautiful elegant auntie with fair skin shopping around.
*her classy meant rich look. got lv, burberry but dark makes her look so unmatch, lol.

garnier whitening, noted.

its gud if u want to help ur gf, finding products & so on..u cn play a part to boost her confidence first lor..and slowly use whitening products. coz i personally think that bleaching is not necessary. just think bout d consequence..

by d way, if u wanna try beauty supplements for body whitening, u cn hv a look at my b'white thread. works from d inside out, keep skin glowing & fairer...

May we know if your girlfriend's butt has the same dark tone or much fairer than normally exposed skin? If it's same tone and she doesn't sunbath then it's probably naturally dark skinned, if it's fairer just have her stay out of sunlight & wear hat if needed.

Also don't eat "hot" food.

I see I see.

"Hot" food? You mean spicy food or fried food?
I eat chili everyday just that I'm not fond of fried food.

You are already natural fair so doesn't make much difference.

Hot meaning food making your body heaty.

hehe..i hv nvr heard that hot food will make such difference..i wonder how it connects..hot food = fairer/darker

yeah my gf lso like that too
cause i've a lil fairer skin n she think that she does'nt match with me
women r so unpredictable

The most traditional way is to avoid excessive sunlights.

u can go to those 'klinik kulit' and ask about vitamin c injections

i've personally never tried it, cause sometimes it works after 2-3 jabs (1 jab per week), but it doesn't work for other ppl (even after 6 jabs)

That's the results of skin lightening products advertisements. =__= Advertisements in reality, screws with our mentality. Women of colours can still look elegant and classy, it's the way they carry themselves.

Like what advocado said, check with her if the skin tone is the same all over her body is the same, lesser exposed areas (say back, inner thighs, butt) are always fairer, if they're the same tone that only means that she's born with dark skin.

I've tried Nivea and it works (for face). Good luck to you. One of my friend uses ampoules and she said that it works too.

Im not sure whether this would work but i heard it through stumbling

Honey + lemon , drink it before going to bed.

Anyway seek a dermatologist .

Anyway wikipedia states that aristocrates or people born of noble tend to have fairer skin, 1 reason is back in the old days noble man prefer fair skin ladies, 2nd noble people tend to stay indoors more often, thus genetic & environment produce people with fairer skin. I know it's abit of elitism but this is the true history for mankind, at least in europe & african countries.

Also fair skin tend to have a more "shiny" look while dark skin tends to be less obvious in terms of facial contrast (fair skin makes the eyes/brows/dark hair more outstanding) while dark skin ladies are more like "hidden gem", needs time & effort to spot the facial distinctiveness. I guess it goes the same way with the bodies... it's like Cars with Glossy paint VS Matte finish, both have their special but most people prefer Glossy.

One thing about Dark Skin is that the face/body will look more 3D. If you watch sports like NBA, the Dark skin guys usually look much fitter than the white guys, even though both have the same hard muscles, the white guy usually look soft & weak (so this illusion also takes apart the Slave vs Nobleman appearances)

Only vitamin c jab will not really get fair....have to take Tationil Glutathione + Vitamin C.....The most effective product on the market is Japan NC24 Whitening.....But if you wan the gf like the Taiwan celeb 'Big S', she is using Glutathione+Vitamin C+Tranexamic Acid, which is more costly....

don eat kicap =P

use milk-based body shampoo like goat milk. somehow it works^^

me agree 2..me olso using milk scrub during bath...skin got become fairer....while face...put ampoule at face & put mask on..do twice a week..

sure skin become fairer naturally..

Most of the whitening products are harmful to skin. And the whitening effect doesn't last long. Love her and accept her for what she is.
I would suggest her to take in some fruits that rich in vitamin C, wear sunblock and stay away from the sunlight.

seriously, if your gf is the who wanted the bleaching and fair skin, then nothing wrong. But if you are the one who wanted that, I think you should break up with her. Pity that girl la, born with dark skin, its in her genes!

Use skin care products, will not lasted till forever. Will turn dark again.

bleaching, skin whitening, etc: might get skin cancer, latter in life

over the counter products makes claims they cant fulfill, biologically speaking pigments or melanin formed in the skin are influenced by genetic or other factors such as duration under the sun, the best way is to 'slow' the formation or melanin, cosmeceuticals ( cosmetic + pharmaceutical ) products are more effective and the next level is nanotech factors, these proteins are delivered to the cells which makes melanin and before melanin are being made they are tricked into not making them, to cut the long story short, by just products its almost too slow and your gf would have to use products and stay indoors indefinitely until desired fairness is achieved

use SK2..
drink lot of water
eat lot of fruit
get a good nite sleep

Shiseido white lucent if not mistaken . Never tried it but I think it's worth a try ! Or maybe even shu uemura .


One thing to ask , would your gf like a fair tonned skin ? I'm quite fair for a guy and it sucks to have pimples ans blemishes . It's really really eye catching as it's very visible .

Sometimes when a person is born dark skinned, you cant alter ur skin color to be more fairer.. I have olive skin tone. I stay away from the sun, wears highest sun block but I still dont get fair a lot. It's in my gene. Try to see the color of ur girlfriend's thigh. If that part is fairer then I think she could try some products to achieve that tone.

Anyway, skin bleaching is NOT a solution. Please see Lil Kim, she has awesome chocolate tone that glows and but now she is lighter which didnt suit her. Michael Jackson didnt bleach his skin this statement always get on my nerves.

try white L-gluthatione....i heard about this product thru a member... it whitens the skin...dark spot remover.. remove pimples n pimple marks... etc ..

u can try google it...

Try this coz collagen plus vit e with day & night cream..u can google this oso for more details..or browse www.yatibiz.blogspot.com
