Q. Dear Skin Care Counselor,

If I were to order the Godiva Licorice Pressed Powder Compact, which one should I purchase?  Right now, I am of a slightly darkish Indian skin tone.

I don't know how the lightning system will change my color shade, but which powder color would you recommend?

Thank you very much for your time.  I hope to hear from you soon.

 A. Dear Kavita,

Godiva Licorice works by suppressing the formation of melanin in our skin, leading to fairer and whiter skin overtime. Unlike skin bleaching agents, it does not lessen or decrease the melanin which causes skin discolorations or hyperpigmentations as a long-term side-effect.

Here is a guide to help you determine the Godiva Licorice Pressed Powder shade most suitable for your type of skin:

Fair shade - most ideal for light skinned individuals (think Caucasians) with pink undertone

Natural shade - best for brown Asians having yellow undertone 

White shade - has no colorant and is just like baby powder

To be on the safe side, if you are not sure which of the shades is right for you, you can always opt for the Nude shade, which fits all individuals with white, brown or dark skin coloration.

Yours truly,

Skin Care Counselor

Unscented versus Fragrance-free

When looking for products with the least potential to irritate your skin or cause allergic reactions, stick with fragrance-free. The word unscented on a label merely means that the product has no detectable scent, but that may be the result of a masking fragrance. To be extra careful, read the list of ingredients.
