Maybe it's because I'm very fair in complexion that's why I see skin bleaching as very odd. Just maybe that's the reason.

We all know how it works, the black likes the white while the white likes the black..."like charges repel while unlike charges attract". I'm not discriminating but I fancy more of the dark complexion with regards to having a partner and it all boil down to my fair complexion.

This morning while thinking on what to write, I was siting on a chair while resting my hands on the table, the door was wide opened and I could see every passerby. Then, I saw this lady passing, I was moved to approach her but I just had to hold myself.

I don't mean approaching to ask for friendship bla bla bla, No! all I wanted to tell her was to stop bleaching😢.

Mehn! This lady was one of the most beautiful girl in our street as of last year, but now, the sharp colouring has made her ugly.

Mind you, I mean, "she's now ugly" to my sight and I know that she's still or more beautiful to others, especially to her boyfriend that's encouraging her to bleach.

You know, it can't be hidden when you're bleaching with a very harsh cream, it shows everywhere, one would know you're bleaching with a mere look. That's the kind of bleaching I saw on the girl. She was far away from and I could see the bleaching signals on her.

I'm not against bleaching at all but do it moderately if you want to change colour. It's never an idea step to get a cheap harsh cream to transform your skin. If you can't get a good cream, please leave bleaching alone.

I remember way back at home villa, I had a cousin that wanted to transform his dark colour skin to Light complexion. He went to buy a cheap cream, infact I didn't know the name of the cream untill we started laughing at the black-redish colours on his skin. We had to force him to stop using the cream.

On a sincere note; you're more beautiful/handsome with your original complexion. Let's stop deceiving ourselves trying to adopt people's complexion.

If I should by any means turn to black, I won't be recognized again and same thing with you and you.

How do you feel when people openly tell you that you're bleaching?

I've been told this several times and it weakens me a lot. Once I'm told this, I quickly go and check the cream I'm using and stop it instantly.

Also, I've been told about my skin becoming light and at that moment, I wasn't using any cream for over a month. Yeah, what made my skin to come up was because I wasn't stressing my skin with high sunlight. I worked indoor.

To the light skinned countries here, you don't know what black countries are battling with bleaching. It's rampant.

Stop bleaching!

If you want to bleach, please avoid harsh creams. Go for good & costly creams.

Thanks for reading🥰🥰🤩
