Hi everyone,
I am quite new to skin lightning and I wasn't sure to do it at first but I've started bleaching aprox 2 weeks ago and I have got a tiny bit lighter in my nose and cheeks, however it's uneven and blotchy and is it supposed to look like that? I use neoprosone vit c cream (which I heard was safe rather than the gel) carotein gel (safe I think) and sometimes 55H+ serum
Anyway my mum and my brother have had such issue with since I do not come from a background that respects lightning skin (im african) and where I live no black girls my age do except for the older jamaican/congo hairdresser women.
They have literally been throwing insults at me and I my dad came to see me and as soon as he saw me he was like what happened to your face you look fairer and you look burnt on your cheeks? I told him I wasn't bleaching
And now I guess I'm starting to reget it since I'm only 17 and I can't just wake up turn lighter !and my relatives could cast me out but I still want to lighten my skin I have tried to justify myself (although you can't) but it never works I say stuff like it's a double standard for white people to tan their skin, I just want to be a lighter shade of brown ! Lol etc but they all think I'm insecure and pathetic. I know most of you guys come from backgrounds that do bleach skin or your fairly light brown, asian or mixed etc. so its not that drastic but it's literally unheard of for me to be doing this but I really want to should I stop or carry on ? Ps. Sorry about the complaining long post:o
