Hello.
I want some help from you girls. My arms are very dark, mostly wheatish, as compared to the rest of my body. At first i never used to get any waxing done about 3-4 years back but then i started getting it, they seem to be slightly better but the colour is still dark.
I don’t mind the dark colour but it gives a very uneven and inconsistent touch with respect to the rest of the body so i want it to go. Does anybody have any nice ideas or desi totkay to get this fixed? Also, please don’t suggest any creams etc. i wouldn’t try those.
oh it happens with me all the time cuz i always wear half sleeves...rarely do i wear 3/4 quaters or full sleeves! so ya it does make the arms dark....but they get fine when u stop going out in the sun and spend time @ home lol which i am doin nowadays....but i am sure there must be some kinda treatment or oinment to help in this case :).
i do wear short sleeves all the time and i have to do that because it is mostly unbearably hot here in Pakistan. But i don't go out in sun at all,hardly ever!
Equal quantities of tomato juice and lemon juice mixed with 1/2 tsp of haldi..leave it on for as long as u can tolerate, this will help even-out the skin-tone.

I have been using hair removing cream since years on my arms. And you know what does that do to your skin. My arms doesnt have their own color any more. I have been putting lemon juice on my arms since last 10 days regularly. But I cant see any visible effects. I thought putting lemon juice regularly will help. But... what would you suggest for the skin color damaged by hair removing creams.
For the first time in months, I didn't apply sunblock to my arms yesterday while driving home from work and in those 15 mins, you cannot imagine the color my hands have turned. They are now black compared to the rest of my arm and tauba meri that I ever even step out without sunblock again.
Oho! I wrote already that i don’t go out in sun at all. Hardly ever! And Kalli Billi i do wear sunscreen too, nothing seems to make a difference, this sure isn’t my original skin colour ..
Well as you work you do go out of the house. Even if you are driving, the sun still passes through the glass. You should apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before leaving the house for it to be effective. Also, I had the same problem when I lived in Pakistan, so i started wearing long sleeved lawn clothes.

id suggest beign proud of ur dark arms!
:DSoni i dont mind the dark arms if it were my real colour. But now it looks odd that i have a fairer face, Feet and body and my arms are dark. And the funniest part is that ive always since childhood been wearing a watch. Now the watch area is all fair as my skin is and the rest is all dark. The unevenness and the obvious difference of colour bothers me. Thats all!
