[Nejilee4ever]

thank you girl this is a lot of useful information, and thanks to those who gave their own tips, i will try it out. thanks all!

Sorry about the delay in responding - I think you must be allergic to some or an active ingredient in some of the products you are using. It may be a process of elimination and starting from fresh. Trying using non-perfumed makeup and hypo-allegenic products and keep a log so that if your skin improves or flares up you'll have an idea. It could also be a food allergy - so bear that in mind and follow the same process of keeping a log. Good luck.

Try to use olive oil! it works! i swear, i stop use something else than soap and olive oil (morning and evening), my skin is perfect yet!!!!!!

[soursop]

OMG, i'm going to be watching you, i have it also, what causes it.

[runsa1995]

if you put sunscreen on your face before bed it will just clog your pores

[Aquarianquetie]

May I make a suggestion? Use a wide cotton headband to protect the hair line & keep hair away from your face.

[dashakatrina]

i think what would work for u is a chemical peel

[Nejilee4ever]

@dashakatrina if you do, make sure its a Vi peel, that works better if at all for women of color.

[ella7903]

May I make a suggestion regarding your uneven skin tone - have you even thought of trying shea butter as a moisturiser, in its natural state, to see whether it could improve the unevenness? I would suggest using the bain marie process to soften the shea butter and applying it overnight to avoid attracting too much dirt and other pollutants during the day.

[ayisiennumero1]

@ella7903 I used raw unrefined shea butter, but it hasn't done nothing for my skin. People tell me that they think my skin has lighten, but that isn't what I want; I want even toned skin. Do you have any suggestions? I don't want to use alot of products on my skin, but I want one overall color

[Nejilee4ever]

@ayisiennumero1 this is what i want too. I just want a single skin tone.

[txteacher27]

Are you wearing sunscreen? Hyperpigmentation is caused by sun damage. Even though I have medium to dark skin, I have pigmentation on my forehead and around my mouth.

[kllh]

you should see a dermatologist.

[Bradshawbeats]

@kllh why would she waste her money when there are so many other CHEAPER and safer ways to tend to skin...

[dedestar33]

i like this video its really interesting

[blckdiamond100]

I think that you have a very cute face. And i do notice the discoloration, but that's about it. so if you keep using the product it may take of that.

[chaniecekinglife14]

i also have hyperpigment thanx 4 the vid,mines actually came from acne scars i had so many on my face small,big &medium spots it was really bad.but it's all over now doa..

[SuniDays87]

@chaniecekinglife14 What did you use to get rid of you hyper pigmentation and dark spots?

[2mariebl]

Thanks for sharing your skin care routine.

[lail111]

Thank your for sharing this with us hyperpigmentation is a huge problem,however I noticed how when you apply the products you massage it into the skin using downward strokes,this causes wrinkles you should be using upward storkes and circular strokes to avoid an even bigger problem.

[VMGlovee]

sounds like the little bill theme song. ahaha

[luiesita]

ur beautiful love the music

[4thEast09]

Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera Gel...works like a charm!!

[Missperfectionseeker]

u should also consider birth control pills,i think the hormones could help...i can be wrong but it did help me

good regimen tho

[tci9]

why does your skin look like that just curious

[QKS46]

Great music!

What product do u put on the cotton ball?

[crcantave]

what song do you have playing? loves it... sorry if you have already mentioned.

[nhojbee]

Good regimen. I also have hyper pigmentation. Im going to do a chemical peel by skin culture called peel 4000. I PRAY it works for me.

[Cocobrn01]

Please try Neutrogena's total skin renewal starter kit. IT WORKS!!! A little expensive, around 30 dollars. I suffered from eczema and HOT Las Vegas sun which caused hyperpigmentation. I thought there was no hope after using skin bleachers and dermatologist products. After using the Neutrogena starter kit, my skin is pretty much back to normal after about three weeks. Remember, SUNSCREEN

[AlwaysASouthernBelle]

I, too, have hyperpigmentation (dark spots in areas all over my face). I'm glad you mentioned the Serum! I've looked at it a few times in Sephora but the reps never seem to know much about the line... I'll ask for a sample and see how it goes! I'll let you know! Thanks again!

[blahblahblahman]

RETIN-A or TRETINOIN, trust me this stuff works. It peels off the dead layers of skin. You could also use a brightener/lightener in conjunction with this to stop the over-production of the melanin cells.

[blahblahblahman]

Oh yes and SUNBLOCK SUNBLOCK SUNBLOCK!!!

[niniM4k3UPxP3RTiSE]

yeppp!! i learned that. i didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but boy was i wrong!! lol. my olay moisturizer has sunblock in it =]

[niniM4k3UPxP3RTiSE]

i've been hearing a lot about these products. where do you get it from?? thanks, love!

[SuniDays87]

@blahblahblahman Which retinol do you recommend to peel your skin? I heard that Roc Retinol Anti Wrinkle is good.

[SuniDays87]

@blahblahblahman What about Alpha Hydrox? I heard that that peels the skin as well.

[prettybrowneyescutie]

I have combo oily acne prone skin. I recently had a really bad breakout from using proactive and it left really dark acne scars on my chin and jawline. i started using Black Opal acne system, acne bar, pre fade bar, and fade gel. Great stuff and great results.

[niniM4k3UPxP3RTiSE]

i've heard about the black opal fade gel. they just started selling it where i live. how long did it take to work?? & how much is it??

[prettybrowneyescutie]

i noticed a difference in 2wks. i got mine at cvs and i think it was 7.99 or 11.99. just make sure you sunblock if you are going to where during the day.

[niniM4k3UPxP3RTiSE]

ok.!! thanks so much love! i'll definitely be picking it up :)

[easilysaidiam]
