You know I used to think being light was my ticket to the good life. But little did I know the disaster that awaits me. I envy light skin just like a lot of you dark skin folks because I though light skin was better. So I applied all this bleach and mess to my skin and cause a mess.

You know why because deep down I was a dark skin girl wanting to be light skin cause I felt and knew in my heart that light skin was better. Just as many of you here on your journey to go where I was trying to go. Yeah, it was good for a momen.\

But once you melain kicks in and becomes resistant o all bleaching thiers nothing you can do to reverse it no peels, no nothng, you are just hit.

Bleaching is a dangerous thing. I wished I did love myself a little better then I would'nt be in the shape that I'm in. I like many of you felt ashamed of my dark skin.
the only diffrence between me and you is that i acknowledge the fact that i hated my dark skin. and you did'nt yu just hide behide every excuse except the real truth. you hate you color as much as i do.

A lot of you will go down the same road as I have already done. So of you will still be foolish and ask questions such as. What if I use only the % then I won't get this or I won't get that. And then to make yourselves feel better then you all attack the person that tells what is going to happen.

Let's face it NONE OF YOU ARE USING THESE CREAMS UNDER THE DOCTORS SUPERVISION BECAUSE IF YOU WERE THEN YOU ALL WON'T BE ON THIS FORUM TRYING TO GET RECIPES AND ILLEGAL SOURCES TO GET POWDERS CREAMS ETC. it would'nt be a need because you would have a REAL DOCTOR THERER TO ASSIST IN IT.

now i'm sure somebody will contact the moderator because my words are hitting to close to home for a lot of you. but I don't care. Now if you feel offended about what is said here then I take it you know in your heart that everything I said is true. And if you don't feel offended then you feel justified in what you are doing.

Glommy123,

It's just like any other cosmetic procedure is potentially dangerous.

If they are willing to take the risk then that's up to them.

It is very kind of you to warn them of the mishappens, but I don't believe that it will stop people who are unhappy about their appearance from changing it. Once the right ingrediants are available people will do whatever it takes to make them 'beautiful.'

But what you want is'nt always good for you.

Like I said, there are people willing to take the risk.

No matter what you use to obtain light skin eventually. The skin will build up a tolerance for that product and stop working. Meaning that the melain cells will become refractory. Stubbron to lighten and , or depigment. The only people that can truly change their skin color permanently is vitiligo suffers because their immune system is already killing their melain cells. Those groups of people will not have to continue to use monobenzone to keep their new color.

Only nornam skin people that use monobenzone will have to continue to use. At at 1/2 yrs time the skin will become immune to monobenzone and stop working.

Bottom line c an't hide from your color. As long as normal skinis normal the body will produce melain. You can't kill the melain the 2-3 layer of skin. Especially normal skin.

If I known then what I know now I would'nt touched the stuff. Because I was so jealous of light skin and envy light skin that now I'm in the situation of I should have loved and thought higher of myself.
