dark matters...
By shoeaddict •
im surprised as to what extent people will do to have a whiter complexion.really.
is it too much to bear having been born dark skinned?
i have dark skin and im celebrating it.i dont have to feel bad or have low self-esteem just because of it.
opinions anyone?
East and West have different "standards".
in the east, you are considered to be well off if you have whiter skin because it means youre not working in the rice fields, etc.
in the west you are considered to be well off if you have dark skin because you can afford to go on a holiday spree under the sun.

black want to be white and white black.look what inside rather then packaging.
They are just making that company making it, more richer. :)
It just a matter of personality whatever a person's skin color. Either you stand up from the crowd or you will be lost from them.

I PERSONALLY WOULD LOVE TO GET A LIGHTER SKIN..
ALTHOUGH i AM CONTENT WITH MY CURRENT SKIN COLOR!!
:)
I strive to be dark, hence hours in the sun! 'Cept theres no bloody sun so I'm slightly miffed......If I wanted bloody rain and to stay an unhealthy shade of grey I'd have stayed in the UK! Ggrrrr!
yes Dora sometimes it looks awful when the face is so white but the neck is dark and so are the other body parts!

Ok, but don't these skin whitened bleached people look ridiculous, the matt effect is quite awful!....I'd stick to being dark really......I'm white but brown thanx to lashings of Hawaiian Tropic factor 2 oil.....
dark matters...for some who's concept of beauty is being "white". in my country most of the celebrities have undergone whitening treatments which make them more attractive or beautiful for the public. since these treatments are quite expensive, different industries are popping up such as whitening lotions, soaps, creams etc that would be affordable to the masses. and so there is a hype to whiten their skins.
for me...im contented with my fair or brown skin. i dont like putting on such chemicals coz im exposed to the sun most of the time and i feel it will do more damage.

I could get a tan. I am useless at it, get bored way too easily and it does not matter what I use, my legs never go brown. Most unfair.
My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.
Shah Ruk uses the soap ' Fair and lovely ' he is still strangely brown right? Yippee, Yippeee, its GORDONS gin for me!

the color of my skin gives me a very healthy and youthful glow! likey!
mo lang!
but when I started working in the tourism industry and met people who complimented my color, I came to love what I have...
Its very simple, the same thing happened in Europe 100's of years ago, remember the Jane austin - women with their parasols in the sun, pale skin meant your were upper class and you weren't a peasant working outdoors. There is the same thing in asian and south east asian countries where women hate to get a tan.
In the west the opposite is true, sun tan = wealthy and has money to travel.
Awesome!!!

lol my girlfriend does that skin whitner thing aswell, which is fine... i just think it's hillarious because she then goes out and works in the fields (thailand) and comes in darker than when she originally put that stuff on.
*sigh* women

no problem......always look up to people like you.
Frankly speaking, and I don't mean you by this, but I've been with people who master projecting. They're less than brave to face their own problems.
Got a bit deeper than I should here.
Enjoy life.

a lot of people i meet where i work often ask me if i sell skin whiteners.
me,im celebrating my dark skin,never felt as if i had to use any medication to make me white.
im also not obsessed with my skin,but im fond of moisturizing it.lol.dry weather
I don’t know if someone hurt you with their negative comments, recently or as a child growing up, or you’re just obsessed with your darker skin and wished you had a lighter one (for some reason).
If you, internally, believe you don’t look good, it'll be too hard to help boost your self-esteem and you'll always feel fully or somewhat insecure about your own self image.
You need to identify why you’re restless about this issue, only then you can start addressing it.
Salam
No I am not against anything, but why only white or tan, it can be any shade like purple,blue,pink,green and likewise.
Alexa my other half also is very low self-esteem.. She sits all day in the sun to get darker..lol

HE WHO DARES WINS
Well my sister and cousins always complaining about getting tan and staying darker. From my side I am laying under sun at the beach to get tan and stay like that but it lasts max 2-3 weeks for me and I am becoming whiter again. Both sides are not low self esteemed. I could born in Africa, Asia or another part of the world with different skin color but it would not change who I am.
"What doesn't kill me; makes me stronger..."
some people also like to change the color of their hair..just a matter of preference i guess...
are you opposed to the use of skin whiteners?
You know it best.
do you tan?lol,i have no idea why people of darker complexion always have some skin medication to whiten skin or adverts on tv that makes "skin whiter" so that people will hope the medication works on them.
yeah just look at what michael jackson did to himself...
I think it odd too. Be proud of who you are. Does it really matter. It only comes down to pigment.
My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.
