skin tone.
i recently dyed my hair pitch black (im mixed asian and white, so my hair is lighter than most asians) and i am loving it. it provides a lot more contrast to my appearance, making my skin look whiter and my features more pronounced. since adolescence, i have desperately wanted paler skin. currently, i would say my skin tone is light (not fair) with very yellow undertones. some nearly exact foundation matches i have are armani beauty luminous silk in the shade 4 and nars radiant creamy concealer in the shade nougatine. i havent invested in any skin lightening treatments yet since i dont have a job, but i am pretty dedicated to applying sunscreen (even when i stay inside). whenever i get my hands on an exfoliator, i do see a slight difference as well. a treatment im interested in are glutiathone injections, but im not too sure how safe they are. there isnt much research on it, and the idea of injecting a foreign chemical to forcibly break down melanin is unsettling. for now, though, i think ill keep to my sunscreen and exfoliation. i might save up for some vitamin c serums and brightening masks too.
