I'm making a radio documentary for college about skin-bleaching and want to know if people have used it, if they've had any resulting problems? I've heard it can cause big problems for some people. Also like to hear why you use it and which particular products? Also what racial backgrounds use it?
Thanks!
SKIN LIGHTENING CREAM - ever used it? had problems?
Personally I have never used any skin lightner creams, but I live in a part of London that a large proportion of Afro-Caribbean people use these products.I have read about the resulting problems that such products can cause to the skin.
Yes it may even lighten the skin, but its at a high cost. Many users of these bleaching creams will tell you that once you begin to use these creams you may have to continue to use them. Also these products contain really harmful products that not only bleaches the skin but makes it weak. The users skin becomes so weak that in some cases it begins to peel off. You know that there are various layers to the human skin, this number begins to decrease.
Another consequence of these bleaching creams is that it may have the opposite effect, for instance instead of the lighter skin colour the user was hoping for; they instead break out in black spots or marks on their skin or in this case their face.This results in marked skin for years.
I remember one trip to a Afro- Caribbean hair shop in Peckham where I went into the shop to buy coco butter. Instead of looking around for the product the assistant tried to sell me bleaching creams. I felt offended because not all black people or darker skinned people want to bleach their skin- yes I have a few blemishes but its not that bad, and its nothing that good MAC make-ip cant cover up!!!!!
Anyway the point of this answer is that there are various skin lightening creams and soaps on the market.- but I dont know their names.

Reply:I tried it on some blemishes once. I really didn't work.
Reply:Of course lighter races use it, im not so sure about darker races because of the chances of ruining your natural skin color. Oooo, my dads military friends use to inject spiders, and squirrels with clorox bleach and they would start jittering and bouncin off the walls n stuff..poor little critters...
Reply:How about doing a documentary on skin darkening cream, and how people hate blacks but spend billions of dollars to look like us.
