I’m Black, and I want my skin to look a little little(Just slightly)any products for african americans? I’ve also heard that using lemons make your skin lighter.. Is this true? will it work for my skin?

Yes, you can purchase products to make your skin lighter. I’m not really sure as to whether you’re wanting to make it more clear/get rid of scars or marks or just make the overall color lighter. Basically, it’s not a good idea to try to bleach your skin overall. It is a good idea to take care of your skin and moisturize it well so that you will have a youthful, healthy glow. The lightening creams sold in retail stores are more so made for getting rid of spots form scars, acne, wrinkles etc. Over time, our skin gets dull and damaged from weather inside and out. That may make your skin look dry, ashy, dull, and just not that great overall. It’s better to use the right products to bring out new skin and get a great complexion, than to dry to change the tone of your skin. It also depends on whether you have dry or oily skin. A good thing for anyone, especially people of color to use is cocoa butter soap. Walmart and other chains carry it, but it’s much cheaper and a more pure quality to buy it from a Dollar Store chain. They carry it in their brand for really cheap, and it will work wonders with your skin. Use a sugar scrub, you can buy it at Walmart in their brand or St. Ives for under $3 usually. Or you can make it at home yourself and it’s the same thing, you basically get a small jar put some lemon juice concentrate (probably a couple of tablespoons), half a cup of white granulated sugar, and a 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup whichever you have. You mix it together, then scrub your face in it (be careful not to get it in your eyes due to the lemon). This will slough off the old, dead skin. Another good product to have is the Green Julep mud mask by Queen Helen. It dries up pimples and helps keep your skin clear, follow the scrub up with this and leave on for about ten minutes, then wash off. You can get the mask at Dollar Stores or Walmart in the cosmetics sections. Always follow these up with a wash in the cocoa butter soap. Then use Witch Hazel (it comes from the pharmacy dept at Walmart or Dollar Store has it). Take cotton balls and dip in the witch hazel then rub your face down with it to remove any soap residue that will clog your pores. Follow up with Nivea Q-10 wrinkle cream (they sell it at Walmart for about $10, it works good and lasts a long time, you’re probably thinking that you don’t need wrinkle cream but it’s not just for wrinkles, you can use it on scars, stretch marks, age spots, any kind of mark you want to get rid of). Make sure to use this cream at night, or wear sunscreen of at least 30 spf if you use it in the day time. This will gently peel of layers of old skin and reveal clearer skin, as well as lighten it. Then, if you need more moisture use Queen Helen cocoa butter lotion (they sell it at Dollar Stores or Walmart which has more for less money). Cocoa butter is very good for your skin and will help to give it a healthy glow without being too oily. It also absorbs better into the skin, giving it needed vitamins and minerals. If you are prone to breakouts, then buy plenty of zit cream from the Dollar Store (I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s like $1 a tube to Walmart’s $4 per tube, it has the same ingredients and works great). Just dab that on when you get a zit and it’ll be gone in no time. Putting on the lotion at night after your shower will help with your complexion all over. Other than these things, you can buy skin lightening creams at Walmart or the Dollar Store for about the same price, they are usually about the same as far as how they work. Sometimes, they will have mild or strong for the strength of how fast the cream is supposed to lighten, or they will have sunscreen in them which is what you want. Just be aware that it’s better not to use these all over but only on targeted places such as knees, elbows, scars, spots, and other marks. Do not wear any lightening creams without sunscreen, as this will not work and could make you tan even more or burn you. You can also take vitamin A to help with this, it will take two weeks to get into your system and start working. You can buy these at Walmart as well. Just be aware that you shouldn’t take too many, as vitamin A causes light sensitivity in excess. All of these things are pretty cheap, and should give you great results.
