Q.  Dear Skin Care Counselor,

I have just come across your website and am interested in the products from the whitening range. I am a male Asian-Indian. My problem is that my face is soooo much darker than the rest of my body. My face is a very dark brown color whereas the rest of my body is more of a lighter, paler and creamy brown color. I would like my face color to be the same skin tone as the rest of my body.

My doctor says this is because my face is exposed to the sun, which may be true. But this doesn�t explain the fact that my face is still very dark even in the winter when there is no sun in our country!

Do you think that your products would help me? If so, which products from your whitening range would you recommend?

I hope you can reply with good news for me.

Thank you for your time.

A. Dear Nikeel,

Warm greetings! Godiva Natural Skin Care taps into Mother Nature�s purest, safest, and most potent ingredients to naturally balance and treat the skin�s various imperfections.

Godiva revolutionized the skin whitening market with the successful launch of a new generation of skin whiteners. Godiva Licorice Skin Whiteners have been met with tremendous customer satisfaction. The combination of science and nature makes Godiva Licorice the most effective whitener in the market today. Godiva uses only purified licorice with the highest glabridin content (40%)�a product of the latest, state-of-the art Japanese isolation and purification technology.

Godiva guarantees you lighter skin. And that�s about one tone lighter than your original skin color.

However, take note that the rate of skin lightening depends upon and varies according to the individual skin coloration of each person, as well as the extent that the skin may have possibly sustained damage from through the harmful UV rays of the sun, from the elements and physical and chemical trauma which have resulted into scarring and discoloration.

Hence, the darker the skin pigmentation of a person may be, including the factors cited, the longer he or she may have to stay on the whitening regimen and wait until visible lightening takes place.

To yield faster result, we recommend you follow the Godiva Whitening Regimen:

1. Cleanse with Godiva Licorice Whitening Soap your face, neck, underarms and other sensitive parts of the body that need lightening.

2. Freshen your face and neck with Godiva Licorice Whitening Astringent to remove excess oil and dirt that soap and water leave behind.

3. Moisturize face and neck with Godiva Licorice Whitening Cream to even out skin discoloration,

4. For other less sensitive parts of the body like your arms and legs, apply Godiva Licorice Whitening Lotion.

5. Apply Godiva Green Tea Sunblock Cream every morning, even if you only stay indoors.

Staying committed to the Godiva Licorice Whitening and Green Tea Sunblock Regimen is your assurance in achieving and maintaining fairer, smoother and more radiant skin.

Yours truly,

Skin Care Counselor

 

r Word Up!

licorice (lik�ō-ris), n. root or extract of juice of the licorice plant; a plant native to parts of Europe and China; its root extract has been used for hundreds of years as tea and as flavoring; its scientific name is glycyrrhiza glabra.

How do you pronounce licorice?

No, not li-kō-rise.

Not even li-kō-ris.

But li-kō-rish!

r Skin Care Tip

Before following a skin care regimen, you should first know your skin type. That's because various products are formulated specifically for different skin types. So it's always wise to determine which suits your skin well before going all-out on your skin care regimen.

Here are some tips on how to find out your skin type:

Normal skin

Signs of normal skin are few breakouts, tight pores plus a clear complexion. Clean with mild products such as GODIVA Green Tea Transparent Soap to avoid irritation or allergic reactions. Afterwards, treat your skin against signs of aging with GODIVA Fruit Acid Revitalizing Complex twice daily to accelerate the production of fresher, creamier skin. Then shield skin against sun damage with GODIVA Green Tea Sunblock Cream SPF 15 UVA++. It protects throughout the UV spectrum to prevent photoaging, freckles and sunburn.

Dry skin

This type of skin peels and flakes due to lack of natural oil and moisture. Wash twice a day with a moisture-based cleanser like GODIVA Licorice Whitening Transparent Soap, gentle, non-drying and enriched with glabridin from licorice extract. Follow with GODIVA Licorice Whitening Toner which is specially made for dry, sensitive skin. Then apply twice daily Godiva Fruit Acid Revitalizing Complex to replace dry skin cells with fresher, younger-looking skin. Follow with Godiva Licorice Skin Whitening Cream which is also enriched with licorice extract plus emollients to moisturize skin.

Oily Skin

Tends to have constant shine with excess oil production and acne problems. Cleanse regularly and treat with oil-free moisturizers. However, take note that too much washing can cause surface dehydration and irritate your face, prompting an increase in oil production and breakouts. Follow this simple regimen:  Wash your face 2 to 3 times daily with Godiva Licorice Anti-Blemish Soap to remove excess oil and bacteria. Then apply Godiva Licorice Anti-Blemish Astringent followed by a thin layer of Godiva Licorice Anti-Blemish Cream 2 times daily on acne-prone areas. This will remove dead skin cells, keep pores unplugged and reduce production of excess oil.

Combination skin

You'll know if you have combination skin when you have patches of oily skin, usually on the nose, forehead and chin (also known as the "T" zone) and dry or normal skin, usually on the cheeks, eyes and around the lips. Avoid drying cleansers for overall cleansing since they may irritate some areas. Instead, cleanse with Godiva Licorice Whitening Transparent Soap which is ideal for combination skin. Use special toners and drying agents on the "T" zone such as Godiva Licorice Skin Whitening Toner. Finally, moisturize twice daily with Godiva Licorice Skin Whitening Cream.
