There are also areas of the body that may require a quality skin lightening cream for safely lightening the body.  Common areas of darkening on the body include areas of friction like the knees, elbows, toes, buttocks, thighs, etc.  Though these areas aren't always exposed, butt when it's time to show a little more skin, this can cause you to be more aware and self conscious of these areas.  Working on lightening these areas so that they're even toned before you have to show them off is your best bet.

One of the best ways to lighten the body is to both cleanse and exfoliate, and then apply a quality skin lightening body lotion.  First wet an exfoliating cloth, and rub the kojic acid bar against it and use it to wash, cleanse, and exfoliate the body once a day.  After cleansing and exfoliating, then apply a quality skin lightening body lotion.  Apply the lotion all over the body evenly, which will even tone the skin of the body and lighten any areas of hyperpigmentation.  If any of these areas will be exposed during the day to direct sunlight follow up with a sunscreen and wait 5-10 minutes before putting on clothing or going out.

What Not to Use

Do not use any products that aren't manufactured in the United States as there are much stricter and more stringent rules for manufacturing and selling skin care to the general public.  Don't use hydroquinone, as it is actually banned in several countries in Europe and doesn't contribute in any way to the health of the skin at all, and in fact can cause worse hyperpigmentation and dry skin in the long run.  Don't use any products that have just come on the market as you cannot be sure about them, choose product lines that feature natural ingredients and that have been on the market for at least 10 years to ensure they're well known and safe.
