Sea Body Lotions
My neck is darker than the rest of my body! So annoying!?

For as long as I can remember I have always had a really dark neck compared to my face and body. I’ve went to doctor to see if it was diabetes related and I was told I was completely healthy. I work out, eat healthy and I feel like I have tried almost a billion types of scrubs. Fruit scrubs, wash cloth scrubs, sea breeze and my neck is still way darker than the rest my body.

As an african american, I know I do have hyper pigmentation because my knees, elbows, and armpits are darker as well. I even used this expensive hyper pigmentation cream called mama lotion and I seen results but after a few weeks it irritated my skin and I broke out. I also used Aveeno and while that worked great on my face, it didnt do crap for my neck.

Does anyone else have any suggestions on things that may work to lighten up my neck so its the same shade as the rest of my body?

I have never tried this for myself, but it’s something my mom has told me a bunch of times. She loves Barbra Streisand, and she always tells me that every night before Barbra goes to bed, she cuts a lemon in half and uses one half on each elbow.

I always think of it like you’d but the lemon on a manual juicer, where you just put it on and turn it back and forth…. I know lemon juice has bleaching power. In the summertime, if I put it in my hair (light brown), and go in the sun, I get blond streaks.

It’s natural, so I would think it wouldn’t cause an allergic reaction. Might be worth a try?
