How to Lighten Dark Skin From Magic Shave

Magic Shave is a depilatory powder that is used instead of a razor blade for shaving. Many African-Americans prefer to use Magic Shave because it eliminates razor bumps on the skin. A side effect of using Magic Shave is that it reveals dark spots, scars and other blemishes. Lightening the skin after the use of Magic Shave will fade these skin defects away so that they are not seen. This requires the use of a lightening cream that is put on after the Magic Shave has been removed.

Things You'll Need

• Soft towel
• Lightening facial soap
• Skin lightening cream

Instructions

1. Wet the face with lukewarm water. Take out a bar of lightening facial soap such as Daggett & Ramsdell or Kojie San. Apply the lightening facial soap to the face and lightly rub it in.

2. Wash the lightening facial soap off of the face with lukewarm water. Pat the face dry.

3. Take out some skin lightening cream such as MD Strength or Venus Skin Lighten. Dip two fingers into the skin lightening cream. Gently rub the fingers against the areas of the face where the skin defects are visible.

4. Continue applying the skin lightening cream until all of the skin defects have been covered. Put away the skin lightening cream.

Tips & Warnings

• Put a towel around your neck to keep the household ingredients from getting on your clothes.

• Magic Shave should not be used more than once every 36 hours.
