  • Don't worry, I want to be paler too - but I extremely advise against bleaching your skin by yourself as it's severly dangerous & could make you blind etc and badly damage your skin.

    I used to live in Cyprus for two years & mid-Germany for 9+ as a child, so I became naturally quite tanned, I now want to be pale though [have wanted to for around 3 and a half years, I also understand the redness as I have acne scarring & red patches around my nose.

    The best thing I can recommend is a traditional Japanese product called Uguisu which you can buy on eBay [look for the Pink bottles with white Ume Flowers on them], I've been using it since late January & I've had dramatic results in my skin's condition -

    basically the enzymes it contains safely breaks down the Melanin [pigmentation] in the skin to make you gradually paler, as well as evening the skin tone. You should start to see improvement in the skin's condition quite soon, with the paleness following a while after; Use it three times a week [half a teaspoon] and leave it on for up to 15 minutes, I suggest using it on Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings after washing the face.

    though since you say your skin is red alot [acne perhaps, along with just redness & acne scarring?] I suggest you go to your Doctor as well & ask for some medication, suggest Erythromycin as this is good, & avoid Oxytetracyclin [which drys your skin out immensely, caused my eyes to lose internal moisture & gave me severe migraines].

    Try this & avoid [direct] sunlight & you should see results, I do warn though that your skin will become more sensitive to the sun.

  • Talk to a dermatologist I'm sure they can make the redness go away.

  • It's understandable that you don't want reddened skin, but bleach is not a good idea. It's likely that you can calm down your skin by using mild skincare products. If it's a case of flushing or blushing despite having healthy, non-irritated skin, you can try a high-coverage foundation, such as Vichy Dermablend. Ask your pharmacist for skincare advice, or see your doctor.

  • Normal.
    It seems like you are doing it with the same type of intentions people usually have about updating their hairstyle in a drastic way, so I don't think there's any harm in it - in a psychological sort of way. (I don't know; is chemically bleaching our skin toxic? Probably.)

    If you were doing it to alter your race though, I'd advise you to think it through some more, but you're already white, right?

  • Not normal... masking your identity turns you into a sheep.
    Our biggest asset in this life is our uniqueness, but by all means live a completely mundane hidden existence, not like any of us will care. Lol.
