BLEACHING! BEAUTY OR A DISASTER

After a transaction at an ATM  booth, I observed a young lady tapping her feet impatiently on the queue to use the atm. I looked at her face and noticed it had different colour patches, her knuckles, hands and legs were not left out as she wore a short gown that showed her skin.

I figure each patch told a story of the processes it must have gone through due to chemical concussion. I wondered why ladies bleach, some say it’s because men like fair ladies or being light-skinned is more attractive to the eye. 

I honestly don’t get their reasons for bleaching and I am sure if the skin could speak, it would say " dear owner, please let me breathe this is torture".

Some ladies mix all sort of chemicals called body cream, but sadly they don’t get the desired results and they end up looking ridiculous with different shades of colours accompanied by an unpleasant smell.

For ladies who can afford to buy real lightening creams which are expensive, spend a lot of money to get their desired results and a little better skin tone and blend. Wounds become difficult to heal after the skin has tampered with so why bother? I  wonder.

My advice is to be comfortable in your skin, if you are naturally fair celebrate it, if u are naturally dark, by all means, celebrate and flaunt it. You can pamper your skin, there are skin creams without lightening agents, for example, pure coconut oil is perfect and makes your skin glow.

Stay beautiful inside, eat right and be the best in whatever you do.
