You can mix it in foundation too.

Miss 1929 said:Also, you can make your own, according to a recipe in a story by Colette - you crush to a powder all your old mother of pearl buttons, add enough lemon juice to cover, add a little honey, and put away for a few weeks in a jar. It becomes a cream! The vitamin C in the lemon juice keeps it from going bad, and the honey is antibacterial too.
Pallidly yours, Sara
Miss Brill said:Use plain yogurt as a mask--the acids will bleach skin a little, as will adding milk to your bath water. Lemons lighten elbows, but it is probably too drying for the face. You could also try natural or store-bought alpha hydroxy acids. I've never had any luck with fade creams, and they are said to cause cancer anyway.
Sunscreen is probably the most important thing you could use to keep skin looking light, plus it makes your skin look whiter in photos.
LolitaHaze said:So is this for bleaching purposes or just as a nice potion of sorts? Also, will the crushed pearl powder aid in bleaching or does it just create a white powder for a lighter effect (no actual change)?
Fleur De Guerre said:This may be of interest to the pale ladies out there. I just turned on the box and caght a programme about the pale red-haired girl from Girls Aloud (UK girls group) who is launching her own range of cosmetics for the colour-challenged of us. I'm certainly going to go and test the foundations when it's all available.
