People dey die to be light-skinned but let me tell you: be prepared to spend extra more to maintain your skin. You have to do double if not triple of what a dark skinned does to make their skin beautiful.

I dey laugh all those people who wan bleach. 

Oya when you get your light skin you'll know what I am talking about.

Scars won't go away easily and are always so evident.
Pimples are your life partners.
Skin imperfections are your soulmates.
Etc---

Do you still want to bleach?  

~Another Classic NL moment!! Shoot!!

spikedcylinder:

What about the naturally light skinned women who have no such problems?

spikedcylinder:

Oh ok. It should be a gradual process then? 

WesleyanA:

so pretty. I like ur big eyes and u have perfect eyebrows. jealous. lol

michelin89:

They are lucky!

But generally being light-skinned means having more skin challenges.

spikedcylinder:

Err, I disagree. Your skin is your skin and it being one shade lighter/darker has nothing to do with luck. I'm dark and I don't think anyone who has lighter skin than me is "lucky". If I were light skinned, I'm sure I would have the same sentiments concerning the colour of my skin.

The title says "The Dramas Of A Light-skinned girl", so here we are going to discuss about the skin problems girls with this skin tone generally have.

~Wouldnt it be wrong for us to assume "Skin Challenges of A Natural Light-Skin Individual" ? Several of my m8's & sis are light skin & am not aware of any Specific challenges they face b/c of their skin tone that is different to being dark!!

~Pimples looks just as horrible on dark skin as it is on light skin!! -Some Scars just as obvious regardless! -I personally belive Everyone's Skin is Different regardless of skin tone,some heal quickly,some not so easy to heal!!


~ Am all for slagging off the Wanna-Be-Light-Skin achieved by bleaching!! I think they get to face more challenges maintaining that skin tone & dealing w/ all sorts!!

michelin89:

What has this got to do with my post? Or didn't you see that my "They are lucky!

But generally being light-skinned means having more skin challenges." was referring to this comment by you?

Wetin concern na who get better skin pass for the comment wey I make?

I guess all this while you were waiting for the right time to come and "claim" a skin battle in this thread, but sorry there is nothing like such.

And this also goes to you JJYOU.

oyinda.:

hey hey Spiked!!! This is wes (I don't know how to change my username so i've created a new one). no more wes I guess.
Yeah I left nairaland because I've been busy. I'm on holiday break now so I'm free and hve nothing to do except watch tv, see old friends and go online. lol. nice talking to u again as well.

Skidoc:

Hi Spikey, I think you got MichelinA wrong there. What she means is that [b]light girls without spots [/b]are lucky--- and yeah, they are lucky indeed because, let's face it, spots tend to be more visible on light-skinned people. Because the colour of spots are usually brown or black, it blends with a dark girl's skin. So a dark girl who has fought some skin disease is more presentable than a light-skinned girl with the same problem. I'm not saying the spots won't show at all on the dark girl too, but it looks a lot better.  

On another note, I've also noticed that a white person with Acne problems looks more horrible than a black person with the same problem (especially looking from afar)

spikedcylinder:

Oh my, please calm down.

I was referring to your post about "natural light skinned girls being lucky" and the direct interpretation of my post was that they (the naturally light skinned girls) are no more "as lucky" as dark skinned girls.
Better now?

On another note, I've also noticed that a white person with Acne problems looks more horrible than a black person with the same problem (especially looking from afar), simply because the spots are awfully visible on the white person's face. I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks so though.

michelin89:

I don't know what you are talking about. Besides you might want to read my comment again. And while you are at read this comment made by Skidoc twice and maybe you can drop your "I am for dark skinned even when there is no direct reference to them" attitude!

spikedcylinder:

LOL. What makes you think I am dark skinned? Your original post was supposed to be directed at light skinned girls who achieve theirs by bleaching but you seemed to catergorise both naturally light skinned girls and the bleached ones together, which was why I asked my first question on this thread. That being said, I believe I have addressed your "lucky" concerns.
Did you read what MHC (or even Skidoc for that matter) wrote in her post or you are just determined to be outright antagonistic?

@ spike

Whatever!

Some naturally light skinned girls  are better but when they start applying all kinds of gels, soaps, washes, then they start looking bad, with all kinds of skin blemishes .

I hate it when some feet  resemble pig's feet with all the criss/cross of stretch marks and they still continue  applying gels. I love the African sun it teaches them a lesson, because their skin burns  and they resemble expired leather

Nowadays only few Naturally light-skinned chics stay the way they are, they do not experiment and  they look good like my laydee

Mitch when you fair?

at the end of the black is beautiful
