Skin bleaching has become fashionable. It has
become one of the most popular beauty mechanism that most people are doing in a
bid to have a light skin which they feel makes them look good, boosts their
confidence and self-esteem.
Being light has become the definition of beauty.
Gone are the days of the great axiom’ Black is beautiful.’ Society has been
socialized to believe that white is beauty, hence the rise of skin bleaching by
people across all boarders.
It’s worrying that people do not consider the long
term after effects and side effects of practices such as skin
bleaching. Sometimes you then wonder if people follow after popular trends they
know what they are doing or it’s just ignorance.
The belief is that many black women are
addicted to skin bleaching, but white women do as well. The belief is that
being lighter is more beautiful but my worry is that people do it without
realizing the dangers of skin bleaching.
