Bleaching Creams

[Hibo]

I feel very strongly about this issue girls.

 

What is so wrong with having an uneven skin tone or maybe being slightly darker on your face than the rest of your body. These creams have very strong chemicals in them which under normal circumstances when not mixed would not be seen on the shelves so why should we use them on our skin also using them whilst in the sun can cause permanent discolouration of the skin.

 

It was fascinating hearing how you could tell a bleached person, but which part of the mango does their skin look like-the peel or the fruit? saw this woman in a park with a nearly white face and below her calve-length skirt her ankles and feet were nearly black. I couldnt help staring, now i know it must have been bleaching, but I didnt know the diffence and still couldnt if I walked past someone today.

 

Note though, if a cream was ever invented that would make me as black as the night sky I would immediately run out and buy it, and im not that fair skinned either!! Just being proud to be Black.

 

I just feel that it is not necessary to resort to using bleaching products and even if you have a serious problem it would be better to consult a skin specialist or use make up.

 

I'm sure there must be a solution as i have seen too many women with that "monkey look" where their faces are light in the middle and dark around the edge and the worst thing is they dont even notice and if they do they just continue to use it even more bleaching their hands at the same time.

what's the point of having white face, brown arms and baadiyo feet eeewww

 

I think the people that use those chemicals are only ruining their skin, because sooner or later their face will have dark spots and they will regret it later.

 

anyone that is using anything to get lighter, i have advice for you learn how to use make up atleast that's not going to ruin your face and you don't have worry about it's affects.

 

always luv yourself

I think it has to do with self esteem and self love (almost the same thing) because in a lot of societies somalis,other africans,latinos,people of african descent,south east asians,etc,. in these socities light skin is valued and you cannot deny it my aunt bragged up and down to her neighbors that her gabdo were kur cadey. Arrosyal marka laa marsanayo keremka caades. Not only the light skin issue but "good hair" thus we divide ourselves "timo jareere" "timo gelaac" all hair is good hair and all skin tones are beautiful but there are people that will never understand this and so they will alter their hair and their skin tone in thinking it makes them more beautiful or makes them look good period but they didn't realize they probably looked good with the rich dark brown skin and the knappy hair. sad isnt it?
