Expert Answer

When selecting skincare products, prioritize reputable brands known for using quality, well-researched ingredients with proven effectiveness. Avoid products designed solely for a silky-smooth feel and pleasant fragrance, as these may not contribute to your skin's well-being. Steer clear of purchasing skincare items from department stores without professional guidance. For truly effective products, consider consulting a skincare physician or a dermatologist. These experts can develop a customized skin care program tailored to your specific needs and prescribe pharmaceutical-grade products not available over the counter, ensuring a more potent and personalized solution. With a professional guiding the process, you can optimize your skincare routine based on your unique skin type and concerns.

What do I do if I have a pimple?

Community Answer

Do not pop it. You can make masks (tutorials on YouTube), or wash your face everyday. There are face washes for acne.

Question

Can I get pale skin eventually if my skin tone is light caramel?

Community Answer

You will likely not be able to lighten your skin tone that much, as that would be drastic results from a mask or gel.

Question

Is it possible to get pale skin in 3 months if I try to maintain a healthy diet, wash my face every day, and use masks and wear sunscreen and protective clothing?

Community Answer

It depends on your original skin tone. If you are dark-skinned, you will never have white skin unless you bleach it (not recommended). If you already have relatively pale skin, you would certainly be on the right path!

Question

If I have peachy skin, about how long will it take for me to have porcelain skin?

AimlessWonderings

Community Answer

Maybe a couple of months to a year. Just keep up with cleansing and using masks (not too often) and it shouldn't take too long.

Question

How do I stop pimples from forming?

Community Answer

If your skin is relatively normal and you rarely get pimples, just make sure to wash your face more often, plus always shower after exercising (or sweating in general). If you have oily skin, then I recommend using face masks, scrubs, creams, etc. There are many types of “medication” for acne, but if you’re acne is getting too out of control even when you wash it correctly/often, it could be hormonal acne. If that’s the case, you could go to the dermatologist, they’ll prescribe medications designed just for your skin.

Question

How do I get my skin back to pale and even?

Community Answer

From my experience, going outside during the winter when it’s cold and/or there is snow lightens my skin drastically, id take advantage of this and go outside often during the winter and making sure to follow the steps in the article during the spring summer and fall.
