I understand that aussies like to be tanned.
But I prefer to be not too tanned.
Is there a way to erm..fade the tan?

    Thank you girls! I`ll defintely keep those info in mind for my next shopping trip!
    I`ll start using Ultraceuticals hopefully soon, quite over my bugdet (need a good damn job!) and I`ll look out for a store with Alpha H products near my area. But then again if I come across Ponds like you have mention MsCosmetics then I`ll certainly try that.

    Yes I`ve been avoiding the sun quite a bit now but enough for my vitamin D to make.
    I`m going to look at the reviews now and start my research! Ta ta! mwa x

    products with licorice extract, mulberry extract (eg. Alpha H) or with with AHA generally will help fade pigmentation and brighten/lighten your skin over long term use. The products the melmeko mentioned are great to use.

    The only thing about this is that you need to make sure you slap on your SPF 30+ sunscreen 365 days, rain hail or shine because UV rays are everywhere no matter what, even if it is behind clouds, because UV=photo damage and pigmentation and freckles and wrinkles. I don`t go to beaches during the days anymore. Only start to make my ways there from 4-5pm to avoid the intense sun in the middle of the day.

    Well I`m trying out the ponds clarant cream (it`s a lightening product) at the moment and it`s faded the tan skin on my decolletage area. I am pale, and cover up, but my arms and that area still get hit by the sun in summer – hence how it ends up looking darker than the rest of me (but still not tanned by comparison to majority!)

    The pot was only $4 – from the reject shop – but that`s a good tip about the asian grocer stores – must check this out when next shopping around town 🙂

    There`s also john plunkets super fade to consider….

    Have a look at Alpha-H Annyex they are pretty well priced and have great masks and active skincare products, another is Ultraceuticals, very well priced and both are Auzzie companies 🙂

    I don`t have tan skin but I would say I have fair-medium complexion- thanks to the sun!! Along with a couple of light pigmentations
    Now Im realy phobic of the sun since I love pale yet luminous skintone
    I found SKII and other brands are really pricey, does anyone know afforable and affective ones?
    Even face masks that you might know could help too

    And also my cleanser has AHAs and BHAs in them so that is at least a start but havent deliver what I want lol
    Thanks girls!! xoxox

    I saw a really great whitening product on TVSN called Eleusian Ageless White Light. I haven`t tried the product but it looked really good and is used to fade pigmentation and brightening the skin. to check out the product you can look on their website http://www.tvsn.com.au

    asian grocer stores sel whitening creams and whitening body lotions, you just have to ask them as they are held at the counter. also, they`re safe and they`re quite cheap, i got a small jar of whitening cream for $3! just make sure you dont wear too much or else youll turn too white. also ask for advice on which is the best to use. usually the asian ponds whitenng cream does well.

    I`ve never seen a tan remover at Priceline before. Is it for fake tans because it may not work on a real tan.

    Tan remover will do the trick, Priceline sells them.

    Thats interesting I always got ridiculed for being so pale.
