The Quest for Whitening

 I'm not an overly high maintenance kind of girl, but I do take care of my skin. I try to use quality products and I don't skimp on the price. After all, if you use a cheap Shampoo it will damage your hair and you will have to pay twice as much for it to get back to normal.

But there are some things that are out of my control- burns, bruises, rashes, breakouts, etc. They leave marks on your skin and makes your skin tone uneven. Right now, I have so many marks from bruises and cuts that I am now on an ultimate quest for whitening!

Not whitening actually, I'm not obsessed with becoming fair, but just to even out my skin tone.



Last year, I had a bad breakout of acne, So I tried Acne.org's regimen - it worked for a while, I don't get as much pimples now but the dark marks still REMAIN. I don't like putting stuff on my face, I don't even wear make-up, so I decided to just maintain my skin by undergoing diamond peel- hoping that it will also lighten my dark marks and even out my skin tone.



As for my body, I love wearing shorts and sleeveless tops. So you can imagine that my face and body is not the same shade as my arms and legs. I also had a tiny accident when I tripped on a sidewalk which left me a HORRID SCAR. Aside from that, because I love wearing flipflops, you can see a V-shaped line on my feet. So ugly. To make matters worse, we went to the beach for the Holidays! Who knew it would be sunny in December?

To combat this, I searched online for reviews on whitening lotions- which led me to Block and White Ultima (the gold one, usually packaged in a box) with matching soap. It helped even out the marks on my feet (no more V-shape!) but sad to say, the scar on my leg is still visible (it did lighten though). Since it DOES obviously work, I want to continue using this product but it's actually very hard to find and most drugstores/supermarkets don't stock it. Will have to find an alternative.



Been reading some very good reviews about Venus & Mars Botanicals' Bare it all cream (BIA). So I decided to head on over to their website. I got very excited about their products that I couldn't decide which ones to get. Of course, I knew I had to get that BIA but there were a handful of other products that go with it to make it more effective. Who wouldn't want that, right?


I opted to try their Summer Promo which includes the BIA, their Lulur Soap, the CPC+G which you can mix in with the lotion and a spa milk salt rub- this was what I thought though, not what happened. Looks like this brand is so effective that they have run out of stock of some products!

Will just have to content myself with the BIA cream (new whipped peppermint variant not yet even posted online!) and the Lulur soap. If everything goes well, my next order will be making a big dent out of my pocket. ^ ^,

If not, well, there's this body bleaching promo at my favorite spa/clinic that I've been meaning to try.
