Madam, tanning doesn't lighten your skin permanently, it darkens it temporarily.

Exactly, Beyonce hasn't gotten  any lighter.  Her different skin-colors (dark, darker, darkest) are all about her sunny vacations, sprayed tanned or bed tanned,  I can put J-lo and Halle in the same bucket with Beyonce.  THEY DON'T BLEACH

Have you ever wondered why Paris Hilton looks orange one day and the next day she is white as snow?  Do you think it's bleaching or tanning? And if you ask me, Paris has more colors than the rainbow. . . . .just google her But I know better, I know she is not bleaching

much love

An African woman uses a bleaching cream she hopes will lighten her skin tone. Mariam Jallow is still equated with greater beauty in some cultures. Skin bleaching is big business, despite the fact that lighteners contain toxic chemicals that have been linked to weakened immune systems, organ failure, and even death

Pretty Mariam is convinced that white people have all the advantages in the world. She believes that white people get jobs easier, earn the highest salaries and attract handsome and wealthy men. But there’s one little problem: Mariam is just about four shades darker than the typical white woman and just barely graces the ‘browning’ category among her black people.
Her perception is that the fairer you are the more likely one is to become successful socially, economically and romantically.

The 18-year-old African girl has always wished she had a lighter colour. So to solve her ‘problem’, Mariam is using skin-lightening creams. “White people get the better things in life, yes,” she says. “You have a lot of advantages when you are white.”

In West Africa health authorities say hundreds are skin bleaching and the problem is that many people misuse by overuse skin lightening creams, which are prescribed at low doses to correct uneven pigmentation.

However, the products, many of them manufactured in North America and Europe are sold over the counter throughout Africa and the world.

They say God made humans in His image,
and humans have been trying to repair the
handiwork ever since”

Nothing do them sha. Shebi people still dey die for MICHEAL JACKSON?

seriously i guess most nairalanders here are mistaking tanning for tonning.

seriously i guess most nairalanders here are mistaking tanning for tonning. tanning darkens the skin and tonning really lighting the skin up. But seriously speaking i really get confused if beyonce and the likes of tyra Banks are toning their skin colour to achieve that colour or the use 'sophisticated bleaching' like some one wrote here. my junior never believed most of this girls are blacks, he thinks they are white. So can anyone answer this question pls. ' I use nivea whitening cream with SPF, is it still dangerous?

let her continue to bleach maybe it can change her skin back

why does ppl always relate Michael Jackson with skin bleaching

in case you dont know by now, he has vitiligo n if you dont

know what that means then google it up

Bleaching is nothing but an illusion! If u re not happy being dark skinned . . there’s no guarantee that u ll be happy being ‘yellow” especially when it’s thru bleaching! It will even be more unlikely that u ‘ll be going hoop for joy if u eventually end up with fanta face and maltina body

As for micheal Jackson wateva process he got his. . . he’s still a bleached man

Despites all these, some will still go ahead and bleach

Have you seen the Somalia thread on nairaland and the comments by Nigerian men?

Beyonce no bleach that L'oreal advert was done on computer!!

Obara Jisos!

SAD!!!! While im tryna get dark.

RubbisH!

eeeeeeeeeeeee ya ma

I do not see the reason why people should spend money on Bleaching Skin instead of leaving it natural.  The consequences of Skin Bleaching are enormous.

listen to this woman.

She spent 10 minutes of her LIFE speaking about the trouble she goes through to maintain her "white" skin color.
Smh.

Someone obviously share my sentiments. . .

"For some reason it makes me even sadder that shes an african woman. its really sad."

She gets darker and her order for more creams haven't arrived and she's depressed.

The same CANCER (pun intended ) is in the caribbean too. There is even a documentary about a family in Jamaica that bleaches men and women. Smh.

^^^She is clearly mentally ill.
