SCORPION_SISTA Posted March 24, 2004 I haven't seen many people in my area using this cream, because i live in an area populated by light skin somalis...But i don't consider light skin more beautiful than dark skin...Light skin people are lucky in one thing though their facial faults are less pronouced than dark skin...Sometimes, i see a white person who wouldn't look hot or average had they been dark skined...As to myself i complain often my sister that i am getting darker as years pass on due to an affair between sun and me ...But i always think to myself "had I been chased down a dark alley i could disappear without being seen" cheers me up everytime Root of this problem for women is two things: Women are the harshest critics to themselves and others...Second, to love ourselves just as we are isn't drilled into our brains from early age...We work on those two and this cream is going to be out of business in no time...That's my 1 1/2 cents on this topic, bee bye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kool_Kat Posted March 24, 2004 I am really sick and tired of these woman who bleach thier skin to the point where you can see little green vains that look like they got dirxi under their skin... As a light skinned person, I feel dark when I go to weddings or rubayad...War heedhe ani maba udiidani in ay is nuuriyaanee, nuuriska badan waa laga baqaa...uff... Things that really scare me are lips that are too too dark for their skin tone, faro madow, qoor madow, indhaha hoostooda (aad u maleysid in aysan 5days seexan)... Habloow, go easy on the Diana...

Curly Posted March 25, 2004 OKAY PEOPLE ENOUGH IS A ENOUGH You girls have turned this topic in a *****ing session! The reason why these women bleach themselves is because of people like you! who are so bloody superficial! For the love of God I didn't open this topic so that, kool kat, Raxmah, LadyMo', Umm_Mehdar and Raxiil can tell us how light skinned they are, or how ugly these victimised women are for only trying to obtain something the somali community values so dearly!. (btw you didn’t all say this) Nor I did I hope it to talk about the effect these creams have…I just want to know why these women feel as though being light is the answer to everything?! And to let all the other dark skinned girls out there know that Black is in fact beautiful…hence the pictures I posted. Did anyone even make the connection?! All the Somali women in the fashion industry are actually dark skinned and are considered to be very beautiful by both black and white people a like. So I guess what I really wanted to say was beauty isn’t about how light you are it’s actually got to do with you bone structure, facial features and symmetry!

Senora Posted April 7, 2004 there are a lot of light skinned girls I know to be very pretty, and a lot of darker girls to be pretty...and there are those in between... i never really grew up with many somali's and I didnt even know that many somali women were using this until a few years back. I became acquainted with many of my cousins a few years ago, and this is when i actually started fidning out about bleaching creams. A lot of the girls i know to use this were very pretty to begin with, and I really have no earthly idea as to why they use this...but it was around last year when i became exposed to the usage... For those women who use it and say that they are using it for other purposes...well I don't want to start jumping down their throat because I started using this lightening cream for my under eye baggage, and it worked pretty well.. I've had under eye baggage since I was young, and doctors have told me that this is a hereditary condition..my mother and grandmother both have a severe problem with this..I've tried make-up but I'm not much of a make-up person( I would have to put on make-up just about everyday as opposed to applying a cream once or twice a week), and i even tried the old fashioned cucumbers...it never worked, but this has...I admit that there was a time where i began to use it excessively(I'm not as strong as you Hibo), and this was when i was staying with my cousins..but it dramatically made me lighter, and it didnt look right. I actually went cold turkey for a few months...but my bags weren't looking as good anymore, so i went back on, but moderatly..., you can tell that my body is a little darker, but i think i would rather have this look than the dark baggage look I don't understand why girls who already have perfect complexions apply this....but i don't see the problem if they are using it for other purposes.... So I guess what I really wanted to say was beauty isn’t about how light you are it’s actually got to do with you bone structure, facial features and symmetry! I believe this,and As Xena stated, we are out biggest critiques, and when it comes to myself, i am very superficial and i tend to over exert myself/ be overly concerned with my looks, and its not that easy to just walk around saying, well I'm happy with the way I am.... I'm sorry Sue, i didnt mean to go off with what you intended the topic to be like, i just wanted some to know that there are some people who don't have perfect complexions, and using this kind of cream doesn't mean you correlate light skins with beauty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeserT FloWer Posted August 17, 2004 Salaam I don't know y some gals think that as soon as they bleach themseleves they become automatically beautiful...ur either born wid beauty or u aint u can't buy it.The bleach look is soo fake it makes my skin crawl. I knew 1 sister who masha'Allah was extremly beautiful and she was mareen but she obviously thought to go 1 better and turned ghostly white now she suffers from acne probs and all sorts of skin problems...alhamdulilah Allah blessed me wid sight and hearing and i am healthy y should i then go and try make myself 'perfect' when only Allah is perfect. And Allah knows best so we shouldnt change the way that Allah has made us. Wcs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
