Are there ways to tell?
I've heard that (1)you can always look at their knuckles and (2) if they just that yellowish sickly color, they're bleaching. Also, most people who bleach only do it to their face, and then their hands and neck are dark so of course that's obvious!

So my 2 questions are, is it ever obvious to you when someone is bleaching and (2) what are your ways of knowing they bleach?

I can usually tell as the skin never has that radiance to it , remebering that your bleaching your skin your not brigthening it, that would have to come after, it think many people forget that some celebs may have lighter skin but they also have brigter, radiant skin, which you can't get from a bottle saying skin whitener, that's what I love so much about kelly rowland and gabrielle union, they got them gorgeous glows so stand them next to rihanna and beyonce tell me who's be working the bleach or the brightener.:eek:

I have many friends who bleach and it's not obvious at all.I didn't even know back then that they bleached their skin until they told me because they have very even skin tones and the color is so beautiful. And then I have some friends who with one look you know they bleach because they have dark knuckles and uneven skin tone from their face to hands.and finding out they used bleaches that aren't good for long term.but then again it's the type of bleach you use that doesn't give a natural skin tone and rather the bleached look
