MULTIPLE SKIN COLOURS
Good morning Stella...
I'm seriously in need of doctors advise. Now to the problem... My body has multiple colours... Like different skin tone. It never used to be like this. I just started noticing it about few months back.I went to a pharmacist who advised me to buy a cream to bleach the other parts of my body so that they would all have the same skin tone. I ld prefer a natural method because I'm scared of causing extra damage to my skin. This is really bothering me becos now I'm used to wearing just jean and top...i cant wear revealing cloths becos people always ask me if I'm bleaching. I would really appreciate it if fellow blog visitors could let me know a more natural way I can clean my skin and make them have the same tone.thank you .

PROBLEM TWO
DARK KNEES/ELBOWS
Hello.
Please I have really dark knees/elbow. It's about 4/5 shades darker than the rest of my body.
I'm naturally really fair. (omotola's kind of fair) the strange thing I've never bleached before. I use johnson baby's lotion since I was 8. And im still using. I wasn't really bother anyway, Most of my colleagues/family members all know I'm fair naturally, and didn't care to ask me any questions so I wasn't bother. (I know most people assume people with dark elbow, knees, knuckles, back of the ears etc bleach their bodies, but some how 'miss' those places).
I went out last week with a friend, a lady 'walked' up to me and said "My dear, take it easy with the cream you are using. Bleaching cream is not good. See how your elbows and knee is dark Haba".
I was shocked. I thanked her and moved on. Please does anyone know any cream I can use? Bleaching or not. I don't plan on using it for long though. Once my knee and elbow become a little bit lighter. I'm going back to Johnson. Also with sunblock so it doesn't change. Thank you.
Doctors oya you people re needed
ReplyDeleteDarling, the answer is simple.. Exfoliate,exfoliate, exfoliate! Then moisturise.. Get real cocoa butter or coconut butter (organic pls) with a bit of vitamin c powder, glycrine and apply morning and night. If you want faster results, peel those difficult places with maxi peel( u can get it online) or glycolic acid (low percentage to start with) or if u scared of using these things, buy exfoliating scrubs and use it on the dark places. Then you can use or mix your cream ( no hq or tube o) and use it religiously.. It will clea, i promise you that..
Delete*am out*
For the first poster, a mixture of coconut oil and sheabutter is very good,just google on it.poster2 some people are born naturally with thick knuckles and knees, no be ur fault. Don't bleach anything..enjoy your body
DeleteThis where my fruit exfoliating scrub comes in,it will lighten and soften ur skin well...and it's very effective I use it too and am so comfy on my skin

DeleteBoth of you should try lime...
ReplyDeleteCut the lime and use it to scrub your dark patches....
Or
You can two can try those people selling bleaching cream...Pela and co..
Their dark remover goes for 15-30 k...
@ poster 2 whitenecious is quite good for dark knuckles and knees, gives a nice uniform skin tone. You should try it if it falls within your budget. Costs about $200 smth for the large bottle and shipping to Nigeria is about 100 bucks( as @ middle of last year oo don't know about now) Good luck
ReplyDeleteOver to the docs in the house.
ReplyDeletePoster 1 and 2!!!you guys are fine,leave your body like that or put on cloths that will cover the dark sport...am a man so i don't know of any bleaching cream i can recommend for the both of u

shea butter(ORI) curing skin problems since 1856
ReplyDeleteShea butter darkens. With its sluggish improvement.
DeleteWhich useless Ori? Mtcewwww.......stinking shit dat leaves u black n oily
DeleteQuiksilver, why the venom? Noty you! Shea butter brightens some and darkens some.
DeleteHmmmmm let me just sit n read comments. Doctors in d house do not make me bored today, comment o.
ReplyDeletedoctors its ur time..... pls teach us
ReplyDeleteI'll advice you stick to Shea butter and a good black soap. The result is not immediate but trust me, it'll work. I have been using Shea butter and black soap for over three years now, its not too expensive and its natural. Though village fresh is very harsh but you can mix it with natural honey, be sure the honey is not mixed O. Then you have to be patient. Don't expect results withing two weeks ooo. Its well dear.

DeleteShea Butter
DeletePoster 1, I am chocolate and a lot of people ask me what I use for my skin..I use johnson's baby product mixed with ori(sheer butter) and any kind of baby oil..
ReplyDeleteRecently I switched to SebaMed body milk (not the Q8 pls) the one for extreme dry skin... I use it in the day time with my babyoil and at night I use ori.. Awesome!!
Also I drink like 5 small bottles a day..Keeps you moist from whithin lol!
You can try any of these two combos! your skin should even out.. Sheer butter is a genius..hehe
www.flavour360blog.com
5bottles of what?
DeleteOri, beer or water?
Duuuuuuh at Quikksilver. Water ofcourse! 5 bottle you say? You go visit toilet like mad! Can you this: take water before you go to bed. Your body will make use of the water more at night for its repair work. That's what I do.
DeleteBLOG ANALYSER: it is well dearies
ReplyDeletecan u imagine dat? poster 2 y didnt u ask her if she is d one dt gave u d cream u r using to bleach.. rubbish ITK people
ReplyDeletePERFECT DAY
So whats wrong?"
For a long time, Favor was silent. Almost like she hadn't heard.
Judith was about to repeat the question when Favor said.
"I'm H.I.V positive"
The silence that accompanied the statement was deafening
Judith stared at her not really certain she'd heard what she'd heard.
"You're what??" was all Judith could manage.
"I....just got my test results today...from a second hospital!" Favor said still not looking up.
There was something vacant and zombie-like about her expression.
There was another long silence in the kitchen.Judith didn't know what to say or do.Was there a 'What to do/say when your friend is HIV positive' manual?
The Ticking of the kitchen Clock was the only sound that could be heard.
Favor's eyes were filled with tears as she wept in silence.
Judith went to her friend and hugged her.
Favor's small body seemed smaller in her arms.
This can't be happening, Judith thought.This was her perfect day.She'd had sex with her husband, she'd been watching NCSI for Christ sake. .How could her best-friend be HIV Positive?
Both women were crying now.
"I'm sorry ....Judith...so sorry..."Favor was saying between sobs as she her body trembled.
"Ssssh! It's okay,...it's not your fault..."Judith said.
"Yes.....it..it is...I.. last thing I wanted to do was hurt you and Ken...."
"Sssssh! It's okay...."Judith said. And in that moment it hit her.
She pulled back to stare into Favor's face.
"What are you talking about?Judith asked .

@ poster 2: I bet the rude remark from the tap-mouthed stranger got to u, pele. It's annoying how some people will never mind their business, you must have this 'cool' nature look for her to have the impetus to walk to u and gush out such rubbish and even ended the nasty remark with 'haba'. Well done for responding nicely.

@Galore
Use palm oil to rub your body 20mins before taking your bath. Then bathe with natural black soap. Do this 3ce a week for like a month and d difference will be clear. It's a home remedy that works.
ReplyDeleteWtf? Huh?
DeleteYou must be yoruba!
DeleteDon't you see her Name? Toyin
DeleteNa ogiri she go rub for 20mins. Probably works in ur yoruba land.
Deleteawwww sorry poster 1 and 2, poster one see a dermatologist, poster to I've the same experience but Godsister who had that too, suggested i use neutroderme cream(white moon) its tube like, its not expensive ,just for my elbow and knee and its working, not like magic oh but gradually its working, so i dont know if it will work for u though. Anyway from other comment u might get a better choice, but mine is from experience. take care dear.
ReplyDeletePoster 2 my elder bro and sis and niece has same skin problem. I use to think they are bleaching until she gave birth and her daughter was even living with my mum if not I would have thought she was using her mum's cream.
ReplyDeleteawwww sorry poster 1 and 2, poster one see a dermatologist, poster to I've the same experience but Godsister who had that too, suggested i use neutroderme cream(white moon) its tube like, its not expensive ,just for my elbow and knee and its working, not like magic oh but gradually its working, so i dont know if it will work for u though.

ReplyDeleteN1... You need to exfoliate your skin and moisturize. Buy those exfoliating hand gloves sponge, exfoliating soap like fair and white or clear nature soap or natural black soap (they don't bleach)and get a good moisturizer like johnsons baby lotion made in south Africa or Olay Quench.
ReplyDeleteN2... u just need to work on ur elbows and knees. Don't touch your skin oo. Buy 42hrs cleanser use it with cotton wool and moisturize after. by 1 month or 2 tops it will clear. its just 500 naira buy 2. don't let anybody dupe u.
Poster 1: use turmeric honey and milk b4 u bath every night (smells awful but works). Get kojic acid soap if u can and use once every two days (it is made from 'koji' a by-product of malted rice which is known for its lightening ability)
ReplyDeletePoster 2: a stranger stopped u and told u easy with the bleaching haba and you just said thanks and moved on? And u are an SDKBER? Why do I think you are lying about your reaction?
Lol. Make she for fight?

Poster 1...with your sudden patchy color change, make sure it isn't a sign of something serious like vitiligo. please meet your dermatologist for correct diagnosis and best option of treatment.
ReplyDeletePoster 2...please don't let jobless oversabi people run you into using unwholesome products just to clear up your knuckles and all. such nasty people will aways exist! You are beautiful just the way you are... just work on your self esteem a little.
Lmao @ "My dear, take it easy with the cream you are using. Bleaching cream is not good. See how your elbows and knee is dark Haba".Why can't people ever mind their business.
ReplyDeleteHmmm,both of you have similar problems.Pls both of you should stay away from bleaching creams especially these cheap ones that contain hydroquinone,steriods and mecury.Exfoilate trice weekly with a good body scrub that contains apricot(you can mix it with honey) ,use dudu osun(soap) and pure shea butter aka Ori daily.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cents.
Stay away from sun too.
stop using any cream for now..allow your body to breath for a while, then look for dudu osun soap for bathing and zenon cream mixed with epiderm for creaming. #freeadvertthings#.
ReplyDeleteThis one pass me. My left eye has been twitching for close to 2 weeks now, wat could it be?
ReplyDeleteYour village people at work.
DeleteHahahahhhahha village people nko!
DeleteWill get some info from poster 2 narration probably cos I have a similar situation too,doh not as bad as hers
ReplyDeletePoster two next time when a stranger walks up to you and make such a comment tell them to mind their own business. How can someone you don't know make you feel bad about your body, the way God created you. You even told her thank you.You shouldn't alter your body to please anyone. If you bleach so? how is it her business.I remember one day i was in the shop trying clothes one lady just walked up to me and said you have a scar you shouldn't be wearing sleeveless, try and wear long sleeve. I responded you have very fats legs you shouldn't be wearing skirt,try and wear baggy jeans. Nobody tell her to waka comot.
ReplyDeleteAnon u really cracked me up! Buahhahhahahha
DeletePlease what can i use on my face, as it's the darkest part of my body. Am chocolate or should i say caramel in complexion, don't know if it's cos of the sun, was told to use one cream like dat, which burnt my face....hmmmmm. I just want my facial skin not to be too dark. Help needed please. tnks in advance.

ReplyDeletePls where r all the docs???? All i see here is people talking of use this cream or that. Poster 1 sounds like vitiligo. Abi is this thread for native docs?????
ReplyDeleteHi pips. Very interesting house I must say. Couldn't help laughing. However, I believe people ask questions cuz they really don't know what to do n need kind advice. It doesn't really make sense to throw insults at people who open up their problems in search for solutions.
ReplyDeleteI'm a cosmetic junkie, that I'm so sure. I can't remember using a body cream or lotion twice. I have very hard and dark knuckles since my childhood n this has made me jump from one promising product to another. I'm constantly on the Web looking up for the next new product. I also suffer from cystic acne every month.
From my research and experience, I noticed I have a sensitive skin. The hardness and 'darkness' of my my knuckles n hands get worst each time I use anything with a fragrance , be it lotion , bathing or washing soap, detergents, perfume n bleach.
Like any other girl, I want a brighter complexion too. To cut the story short, I've gone off all manufactured chemicals that promise heaven n earth. I'm on natural skin care products now. Just within 1 week now into my new regimen, my body is silky smooth, brighter and acne free face, my knuckles are so soft and even with my body complexion. I still can't believe what I'm seeing right now.
My secret:
I use african black soap . There's an elderly woman in calabar that mixes this for me. I got just one for a trial but order 4 yesterday based on the results. I insist on the ingredients I want in it such as turmeric, honey, coconut oil or monoi oil, rose water, egg white n sulphur (anti fungal). These are the must in my soap, but she adds so many other things , shea butter darkens me so I told her to be carefully with it.
I smear raw honey all over my body together with the soap and let it sit for about 5-10 mins before rinsing.
For my body lotion.
I mix turmeric juice + monoi ess. oil + vit e + sandalwood ess. oil + cold press castor oil + any fragrance free moisturizer ( my favourites are cetaphil and Aveeno)
For my toner:
I use diluted apple cider vinegar plus a few drops of lemon juice and also a few drops of monoi oil. This is the best I've ever used. I saw a remarkable difference the following morning.
This has been the cheapest and effective regimen for me so far.
Most importantly use a sunblock of at least 15 ( spf15) n run from the sun like it's a plague.
Hope someone finds this helpful..... Xoxoxo
