Skin Whitening Part II!

So, yeah.. technically yesterday's post was a bit of rush... So today, I wanted to show you the harmful effect of the sun, when you are out running without using your sunblock. I decided to be thick skinned and see whether this KOJIC soap really works, and whether it helps in whitening and taking care of the pigmentation!

So this morning, I decided to go for a run, without using my sunblock ( THE HORROR!) and I was out in the sun for about an hour. So I came home, getting ready to take my shower and took a photo before I applied my KOJIC soap all over my body and face.

And after using it, I took another shot inside my toilet... There was no change of lighting what so ever. I used my trust worthy iPhone 4S... And here is the FREAKING results!!!:-

Can you see the difference?!?!... KOJIC ACID SOAP actually makes my skin tone lighter in just ONE wash! Or one shower... or whatever you called it!... AWESOME or what!!!... Just look at how oily, dark, dusky my skin before I took a shower... Its oily, my forehead is darker, the uneven skin tone!!! :P

And this is taken in my room after I apply my daily face routine (toner and sunblock). Of cos, my room lighting is under fluorescent lighting... ANYTHING that is FLUORESCENT will appear a bit lighter on pictures... That's the trick... BUT BUT BUT, usually, when I take a picture in my room, I don't have that skin tone!

I AM SOLD! KOJIC ACID SOAP actually works!

For those of you who still can't see the difference, this is a picture taken before I shower and after... CHECK OUT THE difference in the color skin tone!!!... NO EDITING, no filter, no whatsoever!!!... RAW pictures taken from my iPhone 4S! woo hoo!

So I hoped by continuing using Kojic Acid soap, I will be able to lighten up my skin tone from its original color and able to maintain it... *fingers cross.

I will update you on my skin lightening progress in a months time! So make a date with me on 25th MAY 2013!!! I am so psyched!

ps : the reason why I had to cover my eyes bcos I'm not wearing any lenses... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

Skin Whitening!

I AM SO EXCITED!... Have you heard about Kojic Acid soap? It is the latest CRAZE in skin whitening! I absolutely went ballistic when I found out about how kojic acid can actually make your skin lighter, and definitely whiter! WOO HOO!

So I did more research and read about the benefits of kojic acid with this interesting article:-
http://blog.skintrium.com/676/

After numerous research and reading about kojic acid, I HAVE to grab these babies! But I kept looking for it, did my search on google and to no avail! WHERE CAN I FIND KOJIC ACID in SINGAPORE?

Well, look no further! After I found out that Kojic Acid can be found at Lucky Plaza, I hurriedly went down and found shops after shops that sell Kojic Acid, and I settled at level 4, because I kinda like the environment of the shop! There is this particular shop which is rather neat and had their whitening shelves all to ITSELF!

You can try out the different levels too! All those groceries stores HAVE Kojic acid soap!!!

Kojic Acid is very popular in Japan but a lot of people from the Philippines have already bought them and its very well known for skin lightening over there! I read that if you purchase Kojic Acid in Philippines, it is so much cheaper than in Singapore!

But I don't really mind the price at all, cos a bar cost less than $4.00! Since I read a review on another pouplar brand, Likas Papaya Skin Whitening Herbal Soap, I thought no way that the shop I was visiting would have it..

BUT THEY DO!!!... so I was contemplating whether I want to grab the original Kojic Acid or the Likas one..

AND the Likas one is like a whole lot CHEAPER!!! So, after contemplating, and I was like doing research right there, browsing through my Safari on my iPhone (I think the shop keeper was probably wondering, 'What is this guy doing?'... HAHAHAHAHA...)
and since both reviews of the Kojic as well as the Likas Papaya have rave reviews, I decided to grab them BOTH!

I KNOW!!.. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!... Call me super contradicting.. Call me vain, whatever... I just feel that I need to get my skin tone lighter! It has been damaged by the SUN for far too long!!!

So there you go!.. I BOUGHT two!!! And currently, I'm using the KOJIC acid soap (THE ORIGINAL) k!! And here is my Kojic Acid Soap Review!

Application

Remember to only use the lather of the soap, meaning you have to run the soap repeatedly with water until it form the lather and used it on your face and body. Now here is the most IMPORTANT part. Remember to let the lather settled in for at least 3 minutes ( I took around 4 minutes for face and 5 minutes for body). 

You will experience a tingling sensation, especially on your face, but I feel its quite alright. After that, wash your face with COLD water and get ready for your daily facial routine (Toner, Moisturiser, etc.)

It smells nice, I like it and it lathers pretty easily! Though after you wash it off, some people do feel that their skin is a bit tight and kinda dry, therefore you have to moisturise your face and body. As for me, I generally have OILY skin, so my face didn't feel tight or dry. It feels clean and fresh!

This is how it looks like after I washed my face and after I applied my daily facial routine. (I'm trying to grow back my hair... Shouldn't have cut my hair that SHORT!)

Honestly, after ONE wash, my face brightens and lightens up INSTANTLY! It was like amazing! I was like 2 tones lighter afterI washed my face with Kojic Acid.. After I used my moisturizers and toner and whats not, my face began to settle down and it gave out a "pinkish" tinted glow, as though that I went for a jog! Its so nice! I love it!

I am sure, after a few more wash, my skin will remains to its "after face wash", cos you know once you apply certain products on your face, it will neutralise and oxidised and whats not and it will change a bit of your skin tone...

I have to tell you, I am so psyched! After all these months of searching for a whitening product, I THINK I finally found it - Kojic Acid soap!!!

If you guys are wondering, what's my normal skin tone, its this...

No editing whatsoever... This was taken like last month.

I'll consider my skin to be dusky brown and there are times, its even darker than this! Especially my forehead. Its very dusky, boring and just dark! Its very uneven and I HATED it!... My skin was a whole lot lighter before I was actively in the sun without using sunblock.

Need to get my light color tone back!
