I'm from India and main concern is to NOT to get tanned. So does this susncreen help in stopping skin to get darker due to sunburn?

Yes, if you use it as directed, it should keep you from tanning. You have to reapply it every two hours while you are outside. You also need to reapply after you get out of the pool or after you have sweated a lot.

This IS an effective sunscreen, yes. I just found it to be too greasy to wear under makeup -- but if that is not an issue for you, you will find this works fine for you. The formula contains 9% zinc oxide, which is a physical sunscreen (this is good).

Hi! Yes, this product is going to protect your skin both from sunburns and from darkening. Please do remember that any sun exposure can darken your skin, even with protection, but the combination of sunscreen with zinc oxide and traditional solutions like umbrellas and covering up will protect you best! Good luck!

No, it is not going to help you. Be patient and use sunblock, eventually the pigmentation should fade. If you really need to speed it up, see a dermatologist.

Hi Gilberto. Thank you for your question. Do not use Flash&Go on naturally dark skin complexion. Flash&Go removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person's skin, which is manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using this device. Treating dark skin can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Many other laser and light devices, professionally and at home, also have the same restrictions on naturally dark skin complexion. Flash&Go comes with a built-in Skin Color Sensor that is designed to measure the skin tone of the applied surface and enable application only on suitable skin tones. This unique safety feature will not enable treatment if your skin is too dark or too tanned. If you would like to speak with our customer service team, they will be happy to determine if you are able to use this device. 1-877-367-4556 Thanks!

Stay away from the tanning jig. It causes cancer. The effects are too much like the sun.

Good question. I never did because I never looked directly into the light or I closed my eyes. Your skin should be fine. I'm a firm believer in sunscreen so all of my skin products have it. This is a great question for the Sun Touch Company, too.

In my experience it does, but slowly. It basically makes your skin cells turn over more quickly, so dark patches will eventually slough off revealing lighter skin underneath.

No. This lotion is wonderful. I have had no trouble. Just make sure you put it on even and watch your ankles and feet. It does make you dark.

I doubt that this product will lighten skin, but it may help to even-out skin tone. I have found this product helpful in cleaning and reducing the size of large pores on my face.

I would put it on before you go tanning, that way you can see the results better. Use it every time you tan and you will be darker.

Not sure, but with a very light application you get incredible sun protection. You can barely see or feel it on your skin. I am very sun sensitive and it keeps me from getting burned. I love it an it seems to last a super long time. I have naturally ruddy skin and sometimes I even use it like a foundation it really evens out my skin tone but it feels like your wearing nothing at all.

I am dark skinned, African-American woman my complexion is similar to a hershey candy bar or milk chocolate. Sorry for the analogy just wanted to be clear. I have not seen any whitening effects all that I do notice is that my acne scars fade away. Actually when I tan (yes dark skinned black people do tan we just get darker) it does not effect the rich even darker complexion I have but rather is amazing because the effects of laying out in the sun and drying of my skin are negated by this mask. I bring it on every beach vacation so that I stay out in the sun longer. It doesnt make my skin more sensitive to light either which is great. I am someone who would love to be darker and I try to be in the sun at every chance I can so I would not be using a whitening product ever. This did not effect my complexion at all. I use it as often as 4 times a week when my skin needs it. I have been using it for about 6 months now with no effect on my complexion.

I have dark skin and it worked I have acutally slowed down use to every two days. I was not putting it close to my eyes and consequently around eyes are a bit darker. Also I did not put it on my neck and have to begin doing such. My husband did not see me for six weeks and when he did he did not recognize me. I was so light

I tan when using this product but do not burn. I do not have dark sun spots but this has not been a problem in the past either. It is a great product and have been using it for almost three years. The dermatologist loves me for using this product.

the formulation is for low UV emissions like in a tanning bed and it does not have any PABA (UV protection) formulation. you would probably burn very easily instead of tan. The formulation is designed to stimulate the production of melanin (the chemical in your body that is released when exposed to UV rays) which makes your skin turn darker. Some people have more of this than others. This is why some people can tan darker than others even though they have been exposed to the same or more natural sunlight. You do not want to burn your skin. This damages your skin and can predispose you to melanomas (skin cancer) if you burn your skin too often.

No, quite the opposite. If you research any of the tanning products they are basically made of a sucrose [a.k.a. sugar base] that bastes the skin. You're perfectly safe now and in the long term because there is only a natural die and sugar in the product. I am a very sensitive and allergy prone person and I have never had an trouble at all. Also, I had a very bad third degree burn on 78% of my body a few years ago so I am also just now returning a more dermal layer of skin and I have had no trouble at all. Please feel to ask other questions as need. I'm happy to help and would be glad to hear about your results.
