Hi, thanks for this list. Just wanted to know if you can add more additional natural safe lighteners? I had used the Makari brand as well as the Diana Stalder papay kojic soap. These had lightened me about 3 shades. Also can you do a review on the Fair & Flawless products, speciically the 5x Body Lightening and the Soho Parfait? I had heard goood things about these too but would like to learn more about them. As well as the 55H+ and the Belo Essential Skin Lightening products. Thanks.
Do you mind sharing your idea regarding what you are using to lighten your skin because I have a friend who is medium light skin and she really wants to know what to use and where to buy them. I see you posted couple of some that you’ve used such as Makari brand as well as the Diana Stalder papay kojic soap where did you buy them from and can my friend use it too?
