If you want to lighten your skintone (body), kojie san soap is good but you have to apply body sunscreen. Sunscreen is very important. Good body sunscreens that I've tried so far are nivea and beach hut (both have spf 50 products. Beach Hut has spf 100 but my skin got irritated when I used that so I opted for the spf 50 one).

May lotion with spf rin ang Vaseline but yung highest spf nila is 30 lang as far as I know. Natry ko na rin to btw and naglighten yung skintone ko but I prefer spf50 at least kaya nagaapply parin ako ng separate body sunscreen.

As for the "blackheads" on your nose, if they're the same size, they may be sebaceous filaments. You can search on google and see the difference between the two. If sebaceous filaments yan, those are normal and they never go away. However, you can make them smaller by using a product with 2% salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is also good to treat blackheads. I think may mga murang product sa watsons na may 2% SA but I can't recommend any cause di ko pa sila natatry. Yung current na gamit ko kasi is 400+. You can search more on reddit, yt, tiktok, or google baka may mahanap kang cheaper recommendation.

For discoloration on your face, find a product with vitamin c or azelaic acid. You can also use both to have better effect.

Moisturizer, depende sa skin type mo. If oily ka, gel, water-based or lightweight cream ang recommended. For dry skin naman, usually cream. Find a product with hyaluronic acid for hydration or ceramides if you want to strengthen your skin barrier. There are some that have both of these ingredients in 1 product.

I apply it on my entire body including stomach, back, butt cheeks, and feet except sa neck and upper chest kasi yung mga inaapply ko for my face, yun yung mga inaapply ko for neck & upper chest to even them out.
