I don't know about lighter skin but so many morbidly obese people must believe in more skin.

Skin-whitening products are huge hits in Asian countries such as Korea and the Philippines. I personally know the distributor that deals with those countries. If they want to look more white, big deal.

“Skin-lightening creams often contain toxic chemicals...”

Nothing new there. Search “white lead as cosmetic” for a little history.

In modern times, I believe clown makeup is fairly non-toxic.

Don’t pay any attention to Omar. She the same one who married her brother. That’s right, married her brother. Besides, she fits right in with the other evilness in DC.

Ilhan Omar is angry that they don’t offer a skin reducing cream so she can reduce her five-head to a forehead.

Blacks straightening their hair or wearing straight hair wigs should be branded “cultural appropriation” the same for dying their hair blonde or red or anything but their own natural color. Same for using tinted contact lenses.

“Suntan...the woke blackface?”

We’re on Ocracoke Island, NC right now...exercising our First Amendment right of melanin-conversion therapy. Beautiful day here!

Wasn’t familiar with it until I just looked it up.
Wow, beautiful.

Tanning is OK though.

Comedian Nipsey Russell once commented about white folks using "Man Tan" to go darker, and said he was going to use Yellow Fellow and meet us halfway!
