Would you use a cream or soap that may cause skin cancer, liver damage, kidney damage or poisoning? At a subconscious level in contemporary society there still exists the an old myth that lighter complexions are the equivalent to beauty, assets and success. That myth is just plain bunk. Let us be proud of our African skin. Let us take care of our African skin.

Skin lightening, bleaching and whitening is not a new fad by any means and it has the most serious potential to damage the skin. People of color in countries in Africa and even Asia are relentlessly targeted by unscrupulous advertisers to use dangerous skin lighteners.

What was initially introduced as a means of evening out the skin tone and complexion by lightening or eliminating the signs of sun-damage, age spots or effects of hyper-pigmentation on the skin, skin bleaching and lightening eventually spiraled out of control.

It became an unhealthy obsession that was consistently pursued by the people of color in order to become fairer or whiter and have clear skin.

It won't stop in fact they're just beginning, we'll soon get to a point where every Nigerian woman who can afford to buy bleaching cream will surely bleach her skin, we'll get to a point where women with dark skin (the ones that don't bleach) would be seen as ludicrous.

I hope it does stop honestly
