The best way is covering up before going out. Protect yourself from sun exposure. Opt for long sleeves and pants or long skirts. Make it light, flowy materials if you get hot real easy. Sunblock alone may not help if at all. Unless your skin is naturally that pale to begin with and maybe got a little darkened by the sun, non of what I mentioned is going to help. The only other thing is chemicals or you learn to embrace what you've already got.

You should use a sunblock lotion when going out of the house. And also try using whitening soaps which could really be helpful. If you have enough money, you might want to try using glutathione injections, but of course, this should be done by a doctor.

You mean the gluta injections? It is safe as long as a real doctor will do the administration to you and not just those ordinary salons.clinics who claim that they know how to do it.

The color of skin has to do with your genes. But yoour skin can stay light (no more than what you were born with) if you don`t go into the sun. Still, remember that a certain amount of light is necessary for your health. REad online about sunlight and vitamin D.

Hi Please be happy with your skin color let us not forget (and no disrespect) to Michael Jackson sometimes when we aim for perfection we do not realize till it is too late that we already looked perfect. If you are aiming too keep a lighter color and not tan try a sunscreen with the highest number of coverage.

Michael Jackson skin tone attained from his sickness not from his wants that's why he has his own medication for that

Hi Inopiratum You are correct about his skin, I was referring more to his plastic surgery and that he was not happy with how he looked. I am sure you are beautiful just the way you are.

the color of our skin is determined by our genes. although there are several skin whitening products in the market, their effect is only temporary. once you stop using these products, your skin will go back to its original color. there are also harmful ingredients in these products so you have to be careful about prolonged usage. i do not know claire danes but i'm sure her parents have fair skin that is why she inherited it. if you do not want to get tanned during the summer days, get yourself a sun protection lotion.
