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? |

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. so pretty. I like your big eyes and u have perfect eyebrows. jealous. lol
Awww. . . . thanks darling. I thought you went off nairaland for good? Nice seeing you around again.  |

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? What about the naturally light skinned women who have no such problems? 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. 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. And this also goes to you JJYOU. |

~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!! |

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? |

Hi Spikey, I think you got MichelinA wrong there. What she means is that light girls without spots 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), 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.

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!

You definitely misinterpreted my words and I am starting to believe it was even deliberate because you are always so smart! |

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? |

Well i was only remembering an aunt back home (more like the mom of my ex)
The woman no get anything to do except shop and bleach. Her face has patches of different shades and textures
Same for her neck.
I agree with MC on it's more the type of skin than the color/shade.
It's like saying darker skin is prone to keloids (so i've heard) but it's not true. |

@ spike
Whatever!
@ Skidoc
You are right. I have also noticed the same thing. Imperfections are better hidden when someone is darkskinned and besides they are even less prone to skin problems. Maybe the light ones are more sensitive to external agents. I for example get nasty bumps on my forehead just after a short exposure to the sun.

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 |

For some of us, who‘re naturally endowed with being light skinned We’ve got no drama at all! We come in all shades and variations . . . we sure aren’t identical. . . for some it’s a battle to being fair Skinned “Yellow” Basically I’ve got no fixation on my skin, I m not so big on creme nor lotions albeit I’m a fair skinned gurl Once in awhile there cud be one or two pimples in the monthly but it actually disappears after a day or two, no big deal However, for some, it’s a diff ball game, for those who painstakingly want to be YELLOW, it’s a real drama for them. . . It’s actually pathetic; an inferiority complex if u ask me some look good with it while for some, it’s a horrible sight to behold  I guess different strokes for diff people |

i am natually light skinned and have suffered from acne before and still have a few marks, but they are quite faint now. i don't think its fair to talk about how difficult our skin can be. yes , some of us do have a more uneven complexion than our dark skinned sisters but i am proud of my skin colour. it is natural and all mine. i was teased by some dark girls and even accused of bleaching infront of all our friends (when my acne was at its worst). i now realise that it stemmed from her own insecurities. good skin is healthy skin. dark skin can be bloody gorgeous too. my bf has dark skin and i get lost looking at it sometimes and my cousin is one of the prettiest girls i know with perfect dark skin. i wish we could stop all this hate. my bf even gets accused of going out with me cos of my skintone but that is not the case at all. i do not agree with skin bleaching cos you will get red and green and look like an ogre eventually but pls don't put down natuarlly light skinned sisters even if they have skin problems. thanks
