Are you African American? I was just wondering because I am and I use Ultra Glow. It makes my darker spots less noticable. Especially if you wash your face and use it everyday. ------------- |

This is an old eastern (indian/indonesian) recipe for just such a purpose. I use it myself and can vouch for it's effectiveness. It is called "ubtan" and is traditionally used on brides to make their facial complexion the best that it can be on the wedding day. I use it for 3 consecutive days whenever my skin is starting to look dull, uneven and patchy in tone. INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon Sandalwood powder Half teaspoon chickpea flour Quarter teaspoon tumeric powder 3 teaspoons of either lemon juice (in autumn/winter) or Orris water (in spring/summer) Blend well and apply paste to the whole of the face after your normal washing routine. Wear latex gloves when applying because the tumeric will stain your nails yellow. It won't have the same effect on your skin, however. Leave on for 15 minutes or so, until it is dry. Moisten face with water and gently wash off the ubtan. Do this for three nights. On day 3 you will notice the difference. Good luck. ------------- Uzi |

Hi Baby*Flower (what a lovely name!) You can get the ingredients I mentioned at Indian or Middle-Eastern grocery stores. They are very low-priced. Don't expect to pay more than $5 for enough to make you about 20 treatments if not more. Good luck. Uzma ------------- Uzi |
