Use SPF 30 or higher, so your skin wont turn darker ?

I would recommend using SPF 30 or higher. I feel compelled to tell you there is still a great chance you will still get darker. I used SPF 70, waited 15-20 minutes after rubbing in my skin. I wasn't in direct sunlight over 30 minutes, yet my arms are 4 shades darker!!!! Just make your sunscreen offers UVA & UVB. UVA helps prevent darkening of the skin.

Think of this as a nightly face lotion; wash your face with your favorite cleanser then gently massage the Aqua Glycolic onto your face, avoiding your eye area. As far as which sunscreen you should use, that depends on your skin type. I would recommend something with a minimum SPF 30 however, if you are sensitive to the skin you should consider SPF 50.

If you have really pale or fair skin get the lightest shade because it's really pigmented and dark so you don't want to look like you have mud all over your face LOL

I wouldn't use this one. I am a light skinned black woman and it makes me pretty dark. Even I have to be careful when applying. I would try Bare minerals Faux tan. I think it would work better for you since it doesn't give you a deep tan.

I wear very light foundation and have found it works better for me over the foundation. I use it in the cheek area and I get a luminosity

I actually think it works better if you have darker skin. The brown powder is really pigmented. I can only use a little bit because it goes a long way for me. But then again, I have light skin. As for the rest of the colors I feel that the darker you are, the better they will look.

Well James I don't. I stopped wearing this - in fact I tossed it - because even this shade of tint is too dark for my skin. I use healthy defense without tint and it doesn't matter if it is even or not. Just as long as you've covered your face.

You apply it to your entire face. I found it lightens dark spots and evens out my whole skin tone, and even makes mores look smaller. Try applying to your entire face three times a week before bed before using it more often, as it can initially cause dryness and your skin may flake and peel a bit. And always remember to wear sun screen during the day, as the active ingredients can make you more susceptible to sun burn.

No, this shade is for a darker complexion. You should try the Ben Nye Banana Powder.

IT DOES TURN YOUR FACE WHITE. The people who are saying it doesn't are clearly not applying enough sunscreen. You need at least 1/4 TSP to cover your entire face. It's not white if you don't apply enough, and if you don't apply enough then the SPF turns into the square root of what it originally is. So SPF 25 becomes SPF 5 if you don't apply enough.

I think with spf you can't stay in the sun a lot because you will still get sun damage. I used this at the beach in the summer for a couple of hours and I was fine but did not stay the whole day in the sun. I find that only a couple of hours in the sun every day with spf and I will still get darker as I tan easily even tho have fair-light skin!!! Hope that helps:)

I would. A lightweight moisturizer with SPF to help prevent UV damage is best.

Yes, but with a caveat: SPF 35 is sufficient, as long as you apply enough and reapply every couple hours or after getting wet. SPF higher than 30 doesn't provide significantly more benefit, since SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays and SPF 100 (which I don't think they're legally even allowed to claim anymore) only blocks 99%. That's a lot more active ingredient for really marginal benefit. So just find a sunblock your skin doesn't hate, and use a TON of it, and you'll be good.

Definitely. I use it everyday under makeup. That's why I bought it, it has SPF 15, just don't expose your face more than 1-2 hours under the sun. You may get some ugly dark spots/scars, gruuuu
