SKIN BLEACHING
Today was a
normal day, went for my morning jog. I always enjoy the fresh morning breeze;
it gives you the energy to face whatever the day holds. Well today was no
different from any other morning, until I came across some ladies who were also
jogging
I glanced at
them as I passed, then took another look at one of them kkkkkkk. Oh my dear
Lord this lady almost made me burst with laughter. This lady she was
light-skinned but ONLY in her face, from the neck downwards she was pitch
black. She is not the first woman I have seen with a light face and the rest of
the body was pitch black
A lot of
ladies are bleaching their skins, in the hope of becoming a yellow-bone. Lord
knows why our society seems to think that a light-skinned person is more
beautiful than a dark skinned one. Why spend a lot of money on these lightening
creams? And what baffles me the most is that these creams will lighten your
skin but in the long run they start not working and you end up with black
patches on your face (well most of those that are used in Africa do that)
Why am I
saying this, because there are celebrities that have bleached their skins but
it doesn’t seem to have the long term effects as the ones used in Africa. A
celebrity like Beyonce Knowles if you look at her pictures from way back, the
skin has changed dramatically. Tamar Braxton, Mshoza and Khanyi Mbau, these are
some of the celebs that have gone down the route of skin bleaching.
Personally I
think that buying these creams or getting injections to become light-skinned
its absurd, why apply the creams if they only going to make your face lighter
only? Why bother when it has been proven that in the long run your skin will
become darker than your original complexion?
Outer beauty
fades with time, whether you are light-skinned or not. We should all know that
inner beauty is what is important in a woman. Embrace all your flaws, there are
celebrities that are dark-skinned but very beautiful the likes of Gabrielle Union,
literally speaking people should be comfortable in their own skin.
Well that is
my opinion; let me know what you think of skin bleaching

ReplyDeleteWe have seen being yellow borne as beautiful because people were not taught to love themselves or being confident in their own skin. We used to believe being light skinned is being sexy, people want to embrace that and as black people we have embraced other cultures and forgotten about our oown....
Self confidence is what we lack!!!
