How to get ivory skin when you're not too far off?

I have light brown hair and I’m already a bit pale. but I turn orange in the summer (I look like an oompa loompa, not cool!). and I want to know how I can make my skin whiter, like an ivory color. please help, fair skin would compliment my light brown hair well. and please no “people would kill for tan skin” because nobody likes orange skin, and neither do I. so how do I make my skin paler?

Answer #1

here’s something I found on mookychick.com a few years back

“To make this incredibly simple DIY skin bleach (located in the lovely and charming Gawthpallor site) you will need:

a couple of lemon slices 1 cup of milk yoghurt flower water (optional) Soak slices of lemon in milk for a couple of hours. Strain out the lemon and add the yoghurt to thicken. Apply this cream to your face and body for a few hours so that the bleaching action can take effect. It might be wise to test the mixture on an area of skin that isn’t your face first. If you react badly with excess burning or itching, rinse the skin bleach off. Even if you get any redness, at least the whole world won’t be in a position to learn of your mistake.

Alternatively you can cheat and stick some lemon juice in a glass of milk, then rinse your face with it in the morning.”

don’t forget to use sun blog and moisturize!!!

Answer #2

Wear a lot of factor 50 sun cream whenever you are going outside, but that will only really stop you getting darker and maybe make your tan fade it can’t change the pigmentation that occurs naturally in your skin. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use bleaching creams, many do not working and almost all damage skin, some of the chemicals have been found to be carcinogenic, cancer causing.
