sandijey: See as u guys are abusing girls that bleach. Apart from my elder brother, I have not met any man that doesn't like fair skinned girls, most of u if not all would choose a fair skinned girl to marry any day anytime, ! So why are u abusing them? To some people black means dirty and ugly while fair means clean and pretty! That's just the reality on ground!
I think u should just stop being hypocrites. Its their life. Let them bleach if it makes them happy. I would never bleach even though all my friends are light skinned. Some used to be darker than me but now, they all look white. The pressure got to them! As a dark girl, if its possible, don't always go out wiv ur light skinned friend or friends! If u no get strong mind, u will have a very low self esteem. You need to see d way guys dey rush yellow girls. Its enough for all of em girls to keep bleaching!
Am just being truthful cus its what I see everyday. So don't come here and be acting as if they've done something wrong when u guys are the ones adding to the problem!
God bless you my dear, I cherish people who say it as it is and not trying to sugar-coat words to appear too nice online. Nairaland users are fond of commenting just to appear too nice while they practice otherwise in real life. A good reason it is very dangerous to befriend anyone on nairaland cos most are hypocrites!!! Majority of Nigerian men prefer light skinned girls, simple! I have friends, some very rich, others from influential family background and majority of them if not all are dating and married to light skinned girls. I even have one particular friend who can't ever look twice at a dark skinned girl to talk of saying hi to her...he claims only fair girls are beautiful despite my criticisms whenever we are together.

We are not proud of anything that belongs to Nigeria or anything that originates from Africa. We have pushed our women so far to the extent that majority of Nigerian girls of 21st century are just fake: fake foreign hair, fake nails, fake eye lashes, fake skin colour (bleached skin), fake accent to appear civilised and western, fake everything, gosh, its irritating most times and I blame the Nigerian men for this very atrocities!!!

ceekan Mgazine: Hydroquinone Side Effects

Hydroquinone is the only skin bleaching chemical recognized by the FDA. Skin bleaching creams may have different percentages of Hydroquinone in their compound, but any skin bleaching cream with over 2% may cause side effects. The most common side effect of skin bleaching is skin irritation and a burning sensation. The itching or stinging of the skin should be mild and temporary, with some reddening of skin where cream is applied.

Allergic Reaction to Skin Bleach
Allergic reactions can occur from skin bleaching, and would result in severe burning or itching of the skin. Unlike mild skin irritation expected with application, the pain would be severe and intolerable. Crusting on the skin could appear, as well as swelling of areas where skin bleach has been applied. Allergic contact dermatitis is the medical term used to describe allergic reactions to material in contact with skin. (See Resources.) The allergic reaction would warrant stopping the use of skin bleaching creams immediately, and seeking medical attention if reaction is severe. With allergic contact dermatitis, the allergy should settle down a few days after skin is no longer in contact with skin bleach cream.


Mercury Side Effects
Skin bleaching creams containing mercury should not be used for long periods of time. Mercury can cause poisoning, and mercury in creams can start accumulating in the cells of the body. Too much mercury exposure, or poisoning, can lead to liver damage and kidney failure.

Sun Ray Exposure
Skin bleaching creams take time for full effects and to see results. Hydroquinone and mercury cause skin to be hyper-sensitive to sun rays. Stay out of the sun after skin bleach cream is applied, or wear protective clothing and use an SPF 15+ sunscreen when outdoors. Tanning beds or any type of sun lamps should be avoided during this time.

Peroxide Precautions
Benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, or other peroxide products should not be used with skin bleaching creams, especially when using hydroquinone. The combination of hydroquinone and peroxide can cause temporary dark staining of the skin.


Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Skin bleaching is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The cream can get into the mother's bloodstream and travel to the fetus.

Proper Use
Proper use of skin bleaching creams is extremely important, and directions should be followed carefully at all times. Skin bleaching creams should be used temporarily, for no longer than four weeks. Large skin areas, such as the entire face, should not be bleached at once due to the possibility of skin discoloration. Bleaching cream should be applied only to spots that need to be removed or lightened.





Bleaching ain’t a new trend atleast not among ladies. Though lately Men are also getting involved.
This time, the lady in the photo below forgot to bleach
her feet.



OMG! She Forgot To Bleach her Feet.

SOURCE: HERE
This lady did not bleach. She could have been affect with fire/hot oil or hot water. If you said she forgot to bleach her feet, what about the elbow.

Why do u think they keep picking on annie macauly! U need to see the hatred for her in other blogs. They call her dirty and scruffy. All I see is a beautiful black woman, if she was fair, she wouldn't get so much hate. Can u remember vina of bigbrother. People just hated her because she was to dark andthat girl was very pretty. I could go on and on about how being dark has almost become a sin! Am not advocating for bleaching o! Am just being realistic

if you are talking about naturally light skin babes, I would have agreed with you, I prefer light skin babe but not the fake ones that messed up their skin with excess use of bleaching cream, I will choose dark skin girls over those fake ones

Pertaining bleaching guys no rubbish saying all I need is ur comment. When I was a child I was fair bt my parents are dark bt I have yellowish paternal relatives. Wen my kid bro was given birth to he was exceedingly fair as a result of dis we began to use COCOA BUTTER and later got dark and had a rash me as a young boy dnt knw d different bt whenever I travel for holiday I always come home fair. As a result of ds our Family cream was changed to SKIN LIGHT I hope u knw it's not a bleaching cream. Within weeks I began to change bt only me changed infact to my surprise me bro remain unchanged including me dark sis,why did we change our cream it's because of me I always ave a rough face rashes from jan-december . To confirm if skin light bleach I asked pple using d cream dey all said it a normal cream for skin. NOW after dz I noticed dz my face and my chest is more fairer dan my body and I got confused. Den I stop using d cream for my face and base it majorly on other part bt my face retain d complexion bt my hands still don't meet up despite d ratio 12day-3days. Then I began to observed myself more I noticed some differences no1 I'm a fast learner bt a slow reader 2 I can b very cool and very active 3 I think up and down. I also noted dat I ave more pimples on one part of my face dan d other I means seriously and again more hair in one part dan other bt an upright and a sound physique. I believed in myself I don't see any reason y I suld bleach bt now I'm confused cus I knw some girls who are dark bt now very light I got hellish anger when I see dem trying to judge me because of my complexion now I'm thinking of lightening up my whole complexion nd I also noticed dz my sis is dark facially bt ave a very!!! Fair stomach and averagely fair legs bt nobody sees her. U knw wat d darker I get d rougher my face get nw my face is full of pimple I don't knw wat to do because I knw my face will surely get super light if I try to cure with tube. Tell me if u are me Don't be controversial will u bleach d other part or not? I'm still thinking I can't be maintaining d complexion again,I'm into science I know certain things that hurt and how it works. BT I STILL NEED UR COMMENT
Re: Side Effects Of Skin Bleaching by eliteguy01(m): 9:30pm On Dec 13, 2016
