first of all, jus wanted to tell y'all that not everything about the cream is completely "disgusting' and 'sick'...yes, diana cream lightens the skin, but that is jus a side effect..for some ppl, including some who are very close to me, they use it for skin conditions, like for example rashes from allergic reactions, and exsema...thats because it has this chemical called 'cortisone', that gets rid of the surface layer of the excema, when overused it eventually will eat away your skin and 'lighten' as some like to believe' for those of yall who know ppl who use diana, id suggest you guys convince them to stop using it, cause walahi they will suffer some irreplacable side effects, along wit their 'self respect'....besides i dont think its just somalis who consider light skin beauty..jus look around u'll see it in every society.....in fact, hehe, i think the west is actually goin in the opposite direction which aint such a bad thing...for example, women(pre-dominantly white) who get cosmetic surgery for things like fuller lips, higher cheekbones, etc...features that africans were naturally blessed with....
so somalis, before y'all run away from your natural beuty remember those who pay money just to resemble it but cant quite get there without retouching twice a month.
