Dark skin is cheaper and easy to maintain,most people refer to darkskinned peeps as naturally beautiful or handsome,infact darkskin represent our african legacy.so we checking out some advantages of been darkskinned,this post is aimmed at educating people who feel inferior because of their darkskin and become pressure to change their skin colour....just know that you are beautiful and handsome just the way you are...you dont need to listen to Mrcork because he secretly wish to be like you...Now lets get it on

1)You dont have to worry about maintaining your skin colour unlike Lightskinned people
Most times you see lightskinned peeps changing creams up and down all in the name of looking for one that suits their skin colour,they spend thousands of naira just to get a suitable cream and most times this products are not readily available,well darkskinned peeps need no bother about all that,all we do is buy shear butter or vaseline from any store or market and you are good to go,inshort it wunt cost us more than a hundred or two hundred naira

2)No one will accuse you of bleaching
Some people are accused of bleaching even if they are naturally lightskinned because of the crase of bleaching creams nowadays,in d race of trying to maintain their lightskin they go for damaging cosmectic products this is not the case if you are darkskinned,No one will even suggest that you are bleaching.you only look more radiant with #50 vaseline,although vaseline is getting scarce now thanks to our three legged brothers

3)wearing of bright coloured cloths won't bother you,because you look nice in them.
Have you all noticed a lightskinned girl on yellow or red gown,she looks like rainbow,a darkskinned person need no bother about colours because most colours look nice on them

4)A scar on the darkskin does not easily show unlike lightskin
unlike lightskinned people scars are almost invisible on darkskin,while it leaves a black patch on lightskin,most times they dont play rough and even avoid the use of sharp objects,they know it will leave an everlasting mark on them

5)wound heals faster on darkskin than lightskin
Have you all noticed that when a darkskinned person get a wound on their skin,it heals faster compared to a lightskinned person



The list is inexhaustible,please add yours.......

u said it all, tank God am made of black. like stout

Lol, MrC0rk loading...

Anyway

1. Both light-skinned and dark-skinned people need take care of their skin. In fact it is easier to tell when a darker-skinned person has not creamed themselves well because the skin will turn white/grey and look dry. People who spend thousands on their light skin are self-conscious of losing their colour, but if they just leave themselves alone and apply a good suncream when its very bright outside, they will be ok.

2. No quarrel

3. There are certain shades that look better on both skin types. Just that certain colours go better together than others. Darker skinned people tend look better with bright, block colours like yellow/red like you said, because the contrast is more striking

4. Aside from genetics, people with darker skin tend to scar more easily than their lighter counterparts. They are also more likely to get raised scar formations called "keloids", which are very troublesome

5. The time a wound takes to heal has absolutely nothing to do with skin colour but with the person's health status. For example, somebody who lacks Vitamin K in their diet will bleed for a longer period of time when injured, because their blood will take longer to clot. This has nothing to do with skin colour

That's not true on all cases Op

Nice one..

Nice writeup but number 1 isn't true, just because u re darkskinned doesnt mean ur skin need zero maintenance. All skin tones need to be maintained.

you are right, but prolonged use of this cosmestics always have a side effect on our skin. Blocking of sweat pores, dirt accumulation which may later lead to infections, heat, and sometimes skin cancer. Seriously dark skin rules.

not everyone can get sunburn. You seen a Ghanaian sunburned? (pun intended)

bqlekan:

Yeah it damages the skin even if you cant see the damage

Although the reason Africans are dark-skinned is to protect from sun-damage, so in this case the darker the better

You cant see it now but it will make the skin to age faster

Abeg, someone should tell the mods that we are tired of Tonto Dikeh's threads on fp all the time!!! Thank you!

Yes and I have a lot of scars myself, its very annoying

When a mosquite bites me, even if I don't scratch it I will still have a scar. Ah, is it fair?

Well you can dress the wound well and make sure its clean, but don't keep rubbing or disorganizing it too much or you will damage the surrounding tissue which is already sensitive, that would lead to more scarring around the area

I heard that cocoa butter helps to make skin tone more even and smooth the appearance of scars, but check that you are not allergic to it first

Otherwise there are some more expensive treatments that you would have to consult the pharmacist in order to locate

You wouldn't be able to see it since the damage is microscopic and happens over long periods of time. But it is definitely there

but assuming with all the treatment someone still got scar, do u tink scar removal surgery is effective to remove it?

just kidding, we all get sunburn but at a different degree. We can't underestimate what melanin does in all life forms.

Johnnoah1st:

Yes, of course

But unless its a very big one in a place where people can see it and it reminds you of some kind of trauma that you have had, or it makes you very self-conscious, then you should be able to live with it. But if somebody has the money then why not
