Why do people say Asians get surgery and lighten their skin to look Caucasian?

We Answered:

they are not trying to be white!!! iam full asian and i naturally have light skin. and i naturally have big bright eyes. people tell me they look like black pearls. and i love my jack black hair. and i know asian girls who are naturally like that. some white people don't like their eyes..some one told me blue eyes look scary. and people with light eye color tend to be weak(??). and so? lots of white girls get nose job and straigthen their hair..want higher cheeck bones, so does it mean they want to be white? and white people want full lips and they like getting tan, so does that mean they want to be black or latina???

Skin lightening?

We Answered:

Try getting a facial. They bleach your face and it helps to remove dark spots(such as blemishes). I used to get them(I stopped because the lady kept getting some of the cream in my hair making it blonde and peanut butter skin and blond hair do not go too well).

You can also use Adole skin cream. It fades dark spots and blemishes as well. Hopefully both these methods can help you. Good luck with it all.

What Arbonne product is good for skin lightening/melasma?

We Answered:

I would say the Re9 Face Serum, or else the Re9 Papaya Enzyme Peel. They're both excellent. If you can afford the entire Re9 line, that's the best, but if not, one of these products is key.

Also... if you know someone who sells it, you can probably get a discount or just sign up for the discount. That's what I do and its so much cheaper.

HTH!

is skin lightening surgery safe? 10 pts for best answer?

We Answered:

Most skin whiteners currently on the market contain ingredients (hydroquinone, ascorbic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, azealic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid (licorice extract)) that act as direct inhibitors of tyrosinase, the enzyme in the skin pigment cells (melanocytes) that make melanin.

Arbutin is a new type of skin de-pigmentation and whitening agents, an extract of Bearberry plant which produced by a solid /liquid extraction, an environmentally friendly process. Arbutin protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals, Arbutin is a skin whitening agent which is very popular in Japan and Asian countries for skin de-pigmentation, Arbutin inhibits the formation of melanin pigment by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity. It may be used to repress the virulence of bacterial pathogens and to prevent contaminating bacteria, it is also used for treating allergic inflammation of the skin . More recently, Arbutin has been used to prevent pigmentation and to whiten the skin beautifully. It can be used to whiten the skin, to prevent liver spots and freckles, to treat sunburn marks and to regulate melanogenesis
However, for treatment you can use vitamin C(tablet or drink) which can cure these but it is not likely that they will cure. this is a rare consequence for curing but it is worth a try.
good luck and remember to think twice about this
If i were you i wouldn't really do this because it can permanantly leave ure skin to be scarred and have worse health issues.
good luck in making a choice and if you need to ask questions----feel free to contact me!
