MOST Asians, whether they admit it or not, are obsessed with having very clear white skin, like what Nicole Kidman or those Hong Kong movie stars have.
Marketably available whitening products can only promise to give you back the skin you were born with before sun exposure had done its job; nothing lighter than that. Glutathione injections and tablets can perhaps lighten your baby skin by a shade or three, but that is the absolute limit for most.
The latest treatment some tried is the secret of many Filipina actresses, some of whom have gone from dark brown to white.
Body peeling with whitening treatment is an aggressive method that promises to drastically change your actual skin tone. Naturally fair-skinned, went from light beige to a head-turning pink-white due to body peeling.
A caveat: Although procedure and its ingredients are very safe—they are not recommended for pregnant women and those who are ill, or have liver or kidney ailments. So, before getting the treatment, consult your doctor first.
The body peeling program called Power White is an intensive facial, skin and body treatment that erases pimple, acne and dark wound scars and marks, while whitening every area of the body.
Even a person with caramel, chocolate or dark coffee skin tone will turn ivory or porcelain-white in a matter of weeks, and it is theirs to keep with soaps and solutions readily available at the salon. The entire program requires a once-a-week visit to the salon for 10 weeks, plus a take-home skin care regimen one has to follow strictly.
