How to make your skin white permanently?

The only way to ensure that you have absolutely white skin permanently is to die or live forever underground with no contact with the outside air or light.

Skin is not white, it is essentially pink with the outer layer going various shades of brown depending on your genetics, location and health. That outer layers is about as thin as a piece of paper and yet that microscopic layer seems to be so much more important than the all the layers and lumps that make up the whole of the rest of a person.

As we grow and age our skin carries the marks and lines of our life and experience. I am caucasian with an olive skin that tans easily; when I was young I used to work hard at getting as brown as I could - I now know that this is not the most sensible thing for my skin. Because I live in a hot country (Australia) I am exposed to the sun and so I am more or less permanently tanned on the arms, face and legs but I use a lot more sunscreen than I used to.

My sister has fairer skin and spent more time red and peeling than I did yet we came from the same parents.

As I look at my skin now I can see the beginning of the same age spots I used to see on my mother and grandmother. I seem to 'cut' more easily than I when I was younger so I have more scars that seem to take longer to heal and of course the odd wrinkle is making its way into the mirror!

But no matter whether I am pink, brown or anything in between I am still me and all my friends of different hues are still my friends and it is the person inside that I know and love.

If I ever met anyone who judged me solely on the colour of my skin or my looks then I don't think I would want to know them anyway.

So I would suggest that you don't worry about wanting to make your skin white or any other colour but that you spend time making sure you eat good food, drink lots of water and keep fit - that way you will exude health and vitality and people will be drawn to you. Then all you have to do is be interesting and interested and you will have friends for life.

I think the person who asked the question is black. Some black people do use creams that lighten their skin.

You are probably right but the point I was trying to make is to be comfortable with the skin you are in....

Michael Jackson should have heard this advice before he tried to look like a white woman.

I'm guessing the person actually asked because pale is the new tan, especially among teenagers.

I am tan & want to become white. The world is so old. it is 2009 AD. It is pity - no medicine has yet been discovered to make man's skin white or tan or black as he wish.

Man cannot boast he is grown technologically. in my opinion, world's technology is only in primitive stage - No one can deny.

The majority of skin whitening creams are advertised towards, asians and indians, who are the largest market for such products. Have you heard of a product called "Fair and Lovely?" (the Indian ads can be quite controversial and offensive to some)or seen ANY skin whitening commercials- There is a market, they know their consumer's insecurities (like the social negativity towards dark skin) and they feed off of them. -Blame it on "colonialization".

I AM INDIAN AND I HAVE A PROBLEM NOT WITH THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN BUT THE PIGMENT THAT IS UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED ITS UNTIDY AND THERE IS A SELECTIVE RANGE OF COLOURS THAT SUIT MY SKIN OR IT MAY SUIT MY FACE AND NOT MY ARMS ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO ACTUALLY PUT ON A COSTUME EVEN AND FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.SO IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO FEELING CONFIDENT AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE SO MANY DARK SKIN WANT TO CHANGE THERE COLOUR. IT IS ALSO ABOUT BEING ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY BUT AMONGST INDIANS IF YOU ARE OF DARKER ORIGION YOU ARE NOT AS FAVOURITE AS YOU FAIRER SISTER OR COUSIN.SO ITS NOT ABOUT YOURSELF ACCEPTANCE,ITS CONFIDENCE,SELF ESTEME THE REASON Y PEOPLE CAN GET INFRONT OF A CAMERA ON T.V IS BECOZ OF THERE BODY,HAIR OR SKIN.YOUR BODY ADVERTISES YOURSELF AND THE BREAK DOWN OF THAT IS EITHER YOU EYES OR SMILE TO SOME ITS WEIGHT AND WITH US IS SKIN COLOUR.THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO CHANE SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR IMAGE SOME PEOPLE CNT LIVE WITHOUT MAKE-UP I MEAN WITH WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE IS IT REALLY MUCH DIFFERENCE WITH WHAT EVERY BODY ELSE WANTS TO CHANGE ABOUT THEMSELVES?.....
