As an African woman, I have a naturally brown skin tone. I want to even out my skin tone and lighten some dark areas. What should I do?

If your dark areas are fairly large, then you probably want to use the Diana Stalder Surely White Whitening Cream (for your face) together with Diana Stalder Surely White Body Whitening Lotion (for the rest of your body). Combined with a whitening soap, like Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Soap (as long as you don't have sensitive skin) or the Diana Stalder Glutathione Soap, this has proven to be a very effective regimen for women of African heritage.
Use the whitening soap of your choice in the shower, and then apply the Surely White Body Whitening Lotion after you towel dry. You can certainly use the lotion all over, but since you have some areas that are slightly darker than others, you might want to concentrate initially just on those areas. Then, once your skin tone has evened out a bit, you can use it everywhere.
For maximum results, the Diana Stalder Surely White Skin Toner is a good add-on, particularly if you have oily skin.
If the dark areas are small (say, smaller than a coin), then you should probably use the Diana Stalder Surely White Lightening Cream and/or Diana Stalder Surely White Lightening Lotion. These "lightening" products can be applied all over (not just on the dark spots), and they will help lighten the appearance of the darker areas, giving you a smoother, more even skin tone.
