Red face nice complexion help

hi, im a new member, but i've used this site before for tips that i've found to be really helpful. but i couldnt find something substantial or very helpful regarding a skin whitening cream. im Indian (from India) and my skin complexion is slightly brown, but its somewhat an uneven tone. especially this summer, ive gotten a lot darker by going to the beach and to the pool a lot. i was wondering if anyone could help me by suggesting a good skin-whitening cream and an astringent/toner for some oily areas of my skin. i really appreciate the help, thank you.

I would recommend you to put on a sunscreen lotion with high SPF before stepping out and switch on to a waterproof sun block when going to swim.... this is a must! In India, 'Lotus' provides good sun blocks. Lotus also provides a skin whitening gel that reduces the production of melanin in your skin.

I have heard rubbing lemon on the face also helps as it acts as a bleaching agent. Regarding good skin whitening creams, I don't know whether Fair & Lovely works or not.

To lighten your complexion grind a couple of almonds in milk and apply on the face at bedtime. THIS REALLY HELPS!

I found a whitening lotion recipe which makes an excellent whitener for all types of skins.
Here it goes...
To one tablespoon of cucumber juice stir in a few drops of lime juice and a dash of turmeric powder. Apply on face and neck and wash off after half an hour.

Rubb a piece of apple on your skin to even out complexion, this is also good as an astrigent to use after you wash your face.

Try Lancome's: Blanc Expert Melo-NO Cx. This whitening line comes complete with cleanser, toner, moisturizer and night cream. It's also available in a starter kit.

In order to get the results that you're looking for, you need to use all of them together.

Also Shiseido and Christian Dior carry whitening lines as well.

Considering they were all developed in Asia, where the market is very strong there for whitening formulations, you will get positive results.

Dior is good, Ive tried Dior Snow, my skintone become more even n the texture become smoother
I would like 2 add Estee Lauder Cyber White series, good products n quite safe for sensitive skin. If you want to try less expensive one, L'oreal is a nice choice, I've heard some good testimonial about it.

Yeah, it's quite amazing that in the last 5 years or so at least in Canada, that whitening lines are one of the hottest selling products in most if not all brands. Before that, they were illegal.
