Ok, i know lots of people would say stuff like be happy in your own skin, but this is actually common.

Whitening products i strongly suggest rather than using bleach. So, just drop the whole bleach idea altogether. There are a variety of whitening products out there, especially if you go to Asian shops, you will find heaps of whitening creams, soap, lotions, cleansers and the list is endless! Im not sure how effective they are, but i too have used whitening soaps....but hadnt really noticed any changes.

If you really want to become lighter...try simple things like staying out of the sun, along with the whitening products. You might be like some people where there tan fades over winter times.
