    Mind Blowing Darker Girls , Bikini Line question????

    I am from a multi cultural background and would say I have maybe a Beyonce-ish skin tone and dark hair . Around my bikini line ( I guess where my panties go ?) it's frikkin dark and I hate it , It's not really razor burn but it's like you can see where each frikkin hair follicle should be or something , I'm not sure how to describe it but it is obviously darker than the rest of my body . Is there anybody here that knows what I'm talking about it and is there any way to fix it . Thanks a billion , And sorry in advance if my description was unclear but I described it the best I could .

    You can try these products http://www.skin-whitening-product.co...whitening.html I read good things about them. You can also use hydroquinone but I heard it has negative side effects.

    That area is usually darker for several reason one is genetic and also the friction between the thighs.

    ^^^^ thank you , and I read it was a common problem for people who are maybe obese or bigger people ( i'm no where NEAR being chubby , i'm a size 3 ) and i don't really think my thighs touch , it's more in the area of say my pubic bone and anywhere that hair grows down there , It wouod n't be such a big deal "cept for I am a dancer and I do cam so I worry about that area looking as nice as is possible ... also, thank you for much for the links I will check those out

    It sounds like it is from a build up of dead skin cells. It has happened to me before. I was using inferior products and not adequately exfoliating. When I bought more TendSkin I was actually watching my dead skin cells come off onto the cotton ball and the area immediately began peeling and revealing lighter skinn underneath.

    My shaving regimen is this: 5 blade razor(use new one after every three shaves max), Edge Active Care deep cleansing foamless cream (let it sit for 3 minutes and hit it with the blowdryer on high to soften the hair if in a rush) followed by TendSkin liquid. At most I have two or three small razor bumps if I go to work directly after shaving and none the next day if I TendSkin that same nite.
    Thank Goodness I smartened up! The old me is dead and gone.

    I do two things: I get one-on-one spray tans to even everything out and if I don't have time for that (it takes forever to dry) I just use a bit of Sally Hansen's leg make-up in that area. Just a little. I do it at home to let it dry and not annoy my colleagues in the DR.

    What kind of razors do you use?

    I'm of mixed heritage too and my skin tone is lighter than you but i do have dark patches. It's just a genetic thing i'm afraid, i would say that as i've gotten older my skin tone has naturally even out more but i do still have those darker areas around my genitals.

    I used to have issues with my whole genital area - i thought it was ugly, that's why i got piercings but i've come to make peace with who i am over the years.

    It doesn't lighten if I'm thinking of your problem correctly. The skin simply appears darker because of the dead skin cells built up on the surface. You will be able to see a difference within a few hours. They say don't use it on your hands(it'll make them peel), but for the initial application get some gloves and apply then rub it in. A little goes a long way. Wait for a few minutes then use the cotton ball with some on it. Don't get grossed out by what you see on the cotton ball. It's just dead skin. You can use it several times a day just be careful because the more you use the more you peel. Once you start to peel you will see your original color restored. Because of the smell do NOT use before work. You will smell like a rank pickle( the salicylic acid) and it's noticeable. After you get the area clear use daily and after hair removal. Use on a regular basis and the problem will not recur.

    If there is a nice beauty supply(sells expensive hair) in your area they probably carry it. If not go to any upscale salon that does waxing, threading or anything like that and they sell it. I bought this one local and paid $22-25 for a 4 oz bottle. Check the expiration date. Don't buy if it's expired.

    Addison: Currently using Gilette Fusion Power(vibrates). Used to use Old Spice 5 blade razor that vibrates. They say vibration helps with the exfoliation and I don't know if it does or not. I know it's one of the easier razors to find with 5 blades.The refills are not cheap.$14-17 for four. I buy mine on ebay. You can get 8 refills for $18 or even 40 for like $56. Starter set is like $12-15 for one razor and one refill.

    Thanks for the tip about eBay. I hadn't thought of that. I use Venus Embrace and frequently purchasing refills can get kind of expensive. I was just wondering if there was something better out there that was less costly.
