Somali women bleaching their skin while knowing the side effects? why don't they stop?

[kulan1]

we all know Somali women bleach their skin with chemicals and toxins: it's 2016 and they are still doing it? Why is that? Or is their some alternative that is safe that is making them feel better. I went to the Somali mall in our area today and couldn't help notice and old the women who bleach looked? I think it's considered a norm now? At the end of the day your children will be your receipts and their is no hiding.

It's because we roast darkies too hard and because light skins is 'beautiful' lol.

Why do Somalis like light skin so much? Ugly women can pass of as average if they are light enough. The madness needs to stops.

Have you seen some African American and west African women who are light. Their lightness don't define their beauty. features is what's important. But yeah we need to show love to our dark skin sisters. I have seen some pretty ones.

I don't hate Jubba looking females or anything, but as a barely light skinned nigga I have a reputation to uphold. I have to find some with a shaah iyo caano complex.

the chemicals are harmful and it ages them badly. What message are they sending to their children. If you have skin issues use natural remedies or get a professsional laser treatment or use makeup. The options are endless. But go bleach bro that is worst and tells me that you are insecure and suffer from low self esteem.

Ur part of the problem

Unfortunately, the majority of women believe that light skin is associated with beauty. I have seen Somali people praise light skin and ridicule those who are dark. However, women should not let others affect how they feel about themselves. Beauty comes in all colors, and shapes. Screw society standards of beauty and create your own standards.

No I'm not. I wouldn't ever say dark is ugly or encourage people to marry only light skins.

Personally I do not mind skin colour as long as it is not too dark. That is due to my preference exclusively.

I've never understood this. Every time I go London there's a plethora of Black men with mixed raced girls built like a mini fridge. Light skin girls get gassed by some men regardless of how butters they are so I can't really blame women for using diana. I don't think Somali guys are half as guilty as most other African men in the diaspora. Dare I say that's the reason loads of Somali/Ethio girls on twitter think they're models?

Yea. I think the biggest culprits are the Somalis back home. It would seem they use complexion as the only indicator of beauty lol.

Something needs to be done about the bleaching chems. I heard these ladies stay out of the kitchen even because the heat bothers their skin. It is comes with serious health effects, it needs to be banned.

I think the dark blue sudanese skin looks better than milk chocolate color, it looks smooth and metallic while the other is prone to ashiness.
