How to have a lighter skin tone?
I orginally had a milky white skin tone when I was little but I eventually got darker due to being out in the sun. I recently noticed that the skin tone on my arms are really dark compared to my face and feet and I want to get a lighter skin tone overall. People say use bleach but I've heard that is dangerous. Does the lemon juice thing actually work?
Ps. Im Vietnamese and not Caucasian.

You could try to do more indoor activities rather then outdoor activities. Also my mom bought me some papaya soap [Brand: Likas], it works really good but it takes like a couple weeks until you notice the lightening. You can buy the soap at asian supermarkets or the asian beauty stores.

Being a 36 year old lady and having long given up my dream of getting a fairer skin tone. Aside from my age, I am of African-American lineage and have dark spots on my eyebrows and cheeks. They were the cause of years of embarrassment because people constantly looked and stared at them! I have tried make-ups to cover them up but they hardly worked.
When I came across this product and read the testimonials, I immediately made my purchase and tried your different approach. A few days later, I am seeing that my skin is already getting whiter which brought a new level of confidence in my personality..

Ya dont use bleach lol. The lemon juice thing can work, but that is also bad for your skin. Try a skin lightener. You can look them up, it worked great for me (i used the proactiv one)

unless its winter..there's no totally 100%safe way to lighten your skintone.wear long sleeves and only let your face in the sun. thats what i did when i had a horrible shoe tan from cross country(i wore jeans and no shoes in my 90degree neighborhood for almost a week)
or just wear darker makeup on your face...
