Skin lightening and whitening is a subject that I have personal experience with. In the past, I’ve tried many products and creams in an effort to keep my skin looking lighter. Some worked better than others. Some didn’t work at all. And others? Were downright dangerous.

Knowing that dangers such as mercury exist in some skin lightening creams was just the first step in my journey. The next was spending a lot of time reading through the posts in various skin lightening forums.

What I discovered was a lack of good, reliable information about skin lightening.

So much of the “facts” found online are inaccurate, misleading and downright dangerous. If you take some time to investigate, you’ll usually find that some of the worst “advice” come from people wanting to sell all manner of skin lightening creams, soaps, pills and potions to the desperate.

With no trustworthy information available to me, I started to do my own research (I am a writer and researcher by trade). So I read many books. I pored through medical journals to try to find the answers I so badly wanted for myself.

Little by little, I managed to piece together the real picture. And I’ve put what I’ve learned into articles for this site.

I truly hope the information here helps others be more informed in their pursuit of skin lightening.

Stay safe and stay beautiful!

Love,
