kojic acid

i've always been very vocal that i long wanted to have a fairer skin.
i have morena skin and unlike mestizas, i'm just limited to neutral colors. with make-up, i still go for earth colors and a big NO on the pink and red shades.
and so, i opted to use whitening products. from whitening facial creams, whitening soaps, whitening scrubs to whitening lotion. even devoted myself to likas papaya for over three years but it didn't have a good effect on me, and so i stopped. i made myself to believe that SKIN IS IN (from jergens ad) but who am i to resist the pro's of having fair skin.
being a pexer, i have joined some discussions on whitening products and kojic acid soap caught my attention. many pexers testified that after using kojic acid (brand unspecified), they were able to have a tight and more fairer skin. and so, i gave it a try.
it has been a week now and sm hypermart only offer a certain brand of kojic acid soap which is kojie san. i gave it a try after being hesitant at first because some of the threads that i've read mentioned that there'll be stinging and exfoliating when using it. there's no harm in trying and i just realized that just after using it a couple of days, my skin became quite a bit fairer. i've freckles in my arms and there was a slight discoloration. the dark spots are almost gone in just a week. now, talking about how effective it is, its a 100% success on my skin. it has an orangy smell, so sweet and fragrant that it relaxes me whenever i bathe. the soap indeed has a drying effect. just make sure to moisturize your skin after bathing. as for me, i have a diy oil that i apply every night.
if you're really determined to have a fairer skin, just go for it. if it makes you happy, then why not? just don't overdo it...

cause and effect

It's not a secret, I came from a broken home. My dad left us when I was 9 and he met his other woman while he was just working abroad. It started out as a not-so-serious kind of thing until he got the girl pregnant. It was my mom who helped my dad to land a job in EEI and when they parted ways and sold some of their conjugal properties (including the almost-done house in Lipa , Batangas ), my dad was never able to step foot again in K.S.A. It was a trying time for me. I never had a dad who would be there to support me not just financially but emotionally, too. I salute my mom for making ends meet just to give me a brighter future. I took up a course in I.T. at that time but I landed a job in admin. Since then, I have always been the bread winner. If my dad didn't leave us, I might have taken up law. I might have pursued my dream. But everything happened for a reason and I know God has his ways. Growing up was never easy. I got used to the fact that my mom pampered me so much. ...
