How to Even Out Your Skin Safely and Effectively part 1

[madamechocola]

you use a sunscreen every two hours

[MakeupMaverick]

@madamechocola I actually do not use sunscreen at all. Only in summer time.

[madamechocola]

hi

I can not find Colidal Body milk

[Camilion922]

I wonder will this work for melasma.

[VALENNEA]

hello, i just want to say that i love your skin and i really see the difference. i want to try the susper spot eraser. please let me know abut the controversy aboyt fair and flawless products having mercury, steroids and more harmful products sinc eit works so well. just as if it was too good to be true. Now would you recommend using peel to speed and evening the process. i have so many xyst that left my skin horrible. my fac eis about 2-3 shades darker but just looks overall unhealthy? Peace

[MakeupMaverick]

@VALENNEA Hello, I know there has been controversy, but a friend of mines who is a chemist ran tests on a batch that I ordered and it tested negative for all of the above. I also read online where simiular tests were run, which also were negative. I have not experienced any ill health effects since using their products. I LOVE M2 Body Refinisher as a peel, but do not use F&F creams immediately after doing a peel. Visit my blog for more info.

@MakeupMaverick

thank you very much sweetie.

i ordered the super spot eraser and it is already here. i live in france and i ordered it from the uk. so how am i supposed to use it. every night, twice a day... oh it is so expensive? LOL

[MakeupMaverick]

@VALENNEA Just once daily, it stretches it out longer and you will still see wonderful results!

[asiarichardson813]

not permanent results ur natural skin color will coom back soon

[ladyoFleisure04]

No disrepect but this looks more like lightening than evening out of the skin. I have a few blemshes and dark circles (thanks to allergies) I would like to even out but I'm not trying to look a whole shade or two lighter. I 'm happy with the shade color minus the blemishes. Besides, if I get to looking light, people would start wondering what the hell is going on with me. So I'm wondering if this will yield good results using it just on the trouble spots.

[MakeupMaverick]

@ladyoFleisure04 Yes it will work, just use their Super Spot Eraser on trouble spots.

[ladyoFleisure04]

@MakeupMaverick Thanx

[sunshine32151]

This video was very helpful. I suffer from hyper. and I will purchase some of these products. Please do not stop doing this skin care series. I need all the help I can get and I would like to see the specific soaps and please show how you apply. My back is also scarrred with spots from acne, can you show how to apply the products. I know this might sound stupid but seeing it applied would help.

[adamc800388]

can you do videos on how to use the products. I have a lot of acne scars and my skin break s out a lot

[mstamika723]

@MakeupMaverick thank you for the clarification. The I knew what you were trying to say. I just wanted to let you know how the message in the video was coming across. I have suffered from acne and acne scars my entire life, so I know what it's like to want even skin tone.

[mstamika723]

@SimplyJoy18 mind ya business boo. I never said that she said anything wrong, but what I said is that I needed clarification because of what it "sounds like" I was getting from the video. As you can see from my picture I am a light skinned black woman. I have to suffered from acne all of my life, and and I still do. I have acne scars that I would love to get rid of, but to lighten my entire face, um No!

[TheMakeupBagX704]

SO informative! love that you know all of the ingredient information! great video! :))

[laciena]

You are absolutely gorgeous! So beautiful!

[ILLPLAY4YATEAM]

I'v always thought you were beautiful but girl you look Super beautiful now.Your skin looks gorgeous! Love the video :)

[sexysiphelele]

Love this video. Thanks for making it and sharing with us. I'll definitely be checking some of the products out. I just want to know how long did it take you to achieve the result we see in this video from your old skintone. And also if you discontinue use because you've reached your desired complexion will you go darker or? Thanks :)

[MakeupMaverick]

@sexysiphelele It took me about two months to see initial brightning, but about six months to get where I am, I also use soaps like papaya and black licorice. If you discontinue you will go back to your natural color, so you just have to make these types of products part of your daily hygeine routein if you desire to keep your desired tone.

[hairvirgin]

How long have you been using these products?

[MakeupMaverick]

@hairvirgin six months

[lolamv213]

Will this work on dark knees & elbows?

[MakeupMaverick]

@lolamv213 Yes and you also have to exfoliate those areas, I recommend Nubian Heritage African Black liquid soap with the beads in it.

[mzhewitt1]

Okay I really need some of that stuff.

[nam052780]

The title seems to be misleading. If Im understanding correctly you used these products to even out your skin tone. Perhaps renaming the video, to include something about dark spot correction or hyper pigmentation may cut down on the confusion. You skin looks lovely.

[MakeupMaverick]

@nam052780 Thanks and I will rename it :)

[indialatrece25]

Imma need for some of you all to watch the video and this time all the way through! She is using the skin lighter for blemishes and dark spots not trying to lighten her skin like she is Michael Jackson... #sheeeesh!

[tushay67]

i'm working on evening out my skintone also, can you please tell me the papaya brand soap that you use??? thanks

[MakeupMaverick]

@tushay67 I will put the website links in the next video about the soaps

[tushay67]

your skin looks, beautiful and radiant. thanks for telling us your secret, ive read some of the negative comments that were written, all i can say is ignore those insecure haters, its 2012 if their not secure with being the best that they can be, and maintaining their looks, tell them to get over themselves ...you look awesome!!!

[loveloveyoume]

Erase the spots * crazy auto correct- iPad :)

[loveloveyoume]

I totally get the point of this video, as we age hyper-pigmentation can occur and I am a witness to that. Although I try ton protect my skin with spf's I do feel like I need something to erase the spits. I would love to try it, with a little more research of coarse ;*) thanks for posting

[MrsCBeautiful]

Do you plan on making any videos more about your body transformation using Siren of Hollywood supplements?

[MakeupMaverick]

@MrsCBeautiful Yes, coming soon

[blackkat8]

Maybe you should change the name of the vid to 'how to get an EVEN skin tone'. To stop the confusion.

[twilliams2121]

Thanks for making this video I don't think a lot of judgemental people know that there are people who suffer from scaring due to skin conditions like eczema, or he mask of pregnancy or hyper-pigmentation. I can tell other about this product its obvious you're not trying to be lighter you just want your skin to be even-toned.

[chocolatekisses30294]

I noticed a major difference when you returned...and though your skin looks clear, which is good...it also appears if it has been lightnened quite a bit. I would like to clear my skin of dark spots but I dont want to lighten my overall skin color. I LOVE MY DARKSKIN....I do hope you understand the comment...Thank you..

[MakeupMaverick]

@chocolatekisses30294 I use soaps all over my body because I wanted to get an overall even tone, and yes it did get lighter but that was not my intention. If you want to use it on spots only, then you must just spot treat. But personally, I think it is better to use all over, so you don't end up too light in some spots. You can always stop using them and you will go straight back to your original skintone, and just have an overall even toned look, not blotchy. That was my goal.

[blackrraine]

How long before you started to see results. The reviews are great on the site. I may check this out for a few dark spots on my face that I can't get rid of

[MakeupMaverick]

@blackrraine I noticed a change in just a few weeks, like I knew it was doing something...major difference in texture in three months and I got where I am now over 6 months...I just maintain now, I do not use them aggressively anymore.

[GigglesnGaggie]

Thanks for the video!



[blessingsgirl]

why lighten ur skin

[MakeupMaverick]

@blessingsgirl It's not that I am lightening my skin just to be a lighter shade intentionally, I had a lot of skin discolorations on my face and this is what I used to get them to go away and get completely even skintone.

[keeshaja]

You stay you love you skin tone ...so you didnt love it befor ? Im sorry but I really liked you channel but this video is killing me .....

[MakeupMaverick]

@keeshaja I loved my skintone before and I love it now, this video is not so much about the tone or shade of my skin, it is about how even my complexion is now, if you look back at my old vids, especially on the one titled " How to do a Quick Weave" I had skin problems at one point that left my skin with ugly marks. This is what I used to clear it up and get an all over even skintone.

[KarmaSultry]

@keeshaja because its fake!!! this stuff does not work they dont even have women of color on the site. The best stuff i have used was Clinique even better

[MakeupMaverick]

@KarmaSultry Ummmm they DO have women of color on the site, in fact a BEAUTIFUL deep brown skin sis, with very even and clear complexion. I am proof it works, so haappy I found it. I have used Clinique before and that "even better" contains hydroquonione in it :( not goooood.

[keeshaja]

Why are you still using skin lighter now?

[MakeupMaverick]

@keeshaja I still have scars on my legs that I need to get rid of....I got those from a medication I took called Avalox, which I think has a lawsuit against them, anyhow, they gave me tendonitis where my tendons would seperate from the bone and cause extreme pain and brusing to my legs, from the inside out. Those are taking the longest to go away because it's not from outside skin damage, but Manuka Honey works great for those..

[SweetAsSugah]

You look super pretty!

[mstamika723]

I'm confused. Will you please clarify this whole idea of "skin lightening ". Because it sounds to me like you're saying dark skin is not beautiful and radiant. I'm not saying that's what you said, I I'm just saying that it sounds like that, so what I'm getting from this video.

[MakeupMaverick]

@mstamika723 I am making another video to clarify what this means, but I think women of color of ALL shades are BEAUTIFUL. I loved my skin before, but what I did not like was it's uneven, blotchy look with little black marks all over my face. It was bad at one point, I didn't want to go out of my house, because most of my life I had great clear skin and would have NEVER used Nadinola or anything of the sort, but stuff happened to where I was now needing help to get my beautiful skin back...

[SimplyJoy18]

@mstamika723 like she said in the video, shes evening out her skin tone and getting rid of scars. It really gets on my nerves when ppl assume that just b/c your black, we dont care about getting rid of acne scars or dark marks or whatever. -_- everybody wants their skin as clear as possible.

[latoyasworld]

Girl u have great skin i was looking for a skin light cream im light but uneven in some spot im def getting this :)

[MakeupMaverick]

@latoyasworld This cream will definitely help EVEN out the skintone, just be sure to stop once you reach a nice clear complexion. I swear by this stuff, it is the only thing I will ever use if I need to rid my skin of dark spots! Best of all it is not harmful in the long run..

[graycious3]

mama where you been ? share share

[SimplyJoy18]

Your skin looks great, your really glowing.

could you list the name of the products in the bottom bar? thanks.

[afiste]

Thanks for making this video. Which one of all will you recommend? I have some discolorations on my legs from scare which i would love to get the dark spot to fade away a little bit, also i want to even tone my face color. Hahahaha thanks again and pls reply

[MakeupMaverick]

@afiste You are welcome, I just want to help people who may need it, so I would recommend for face " Spot Eraser" and body "Colidal Body Milk" , the spot eraser is gentle and you can use it only on the dark spots or all over the face, just use it once daily and the Colidial Milk after you shower at night so skin cell turnover can be quick. It is expensive for the body milk, so I mix it with a cheap lotion Nature's Gate Papaya Lotion , so it lasts longer.
