Skin bleaching scandal in South Africa | Unreported World

Yellow?

[@Kenyah2008]

B P actually I know many of my white friends who hate being pale so they use sun beds. It is harmful as well. Black people lightening their skin is a result of white ppl making dark skin unattractive. It’s actually shunned in the Black community whereas tanning is embraced in the white.ive seen many comments saying “white women are not trying to be black” but tbh they like the aesthetic... they pump their lips, do curly perms to get hair texture and get their bums/ hips done. The white aesthetic was more popular in the 90s but since then the Kardashian’s changed the western beauty standards..which mimics BW.

[@Kenyah2008]

B P I agree tho that everyone wants what they don’t have. The few black women who bleach is a result of cultural assimilation not appropriation. Appreciate your comment tho.

People assume you don't love yourself and you wanna be white because you lighten your skin and it always turns into a race thing but thats not true because no one makes these assumptions when pale people want their skin complexion to be darker. Its all about your preference and what you think looks best on you. You can use tanning products or lightening products.

This truth here!!! Do you know when I get spot it is very noticeable...I try to use natural products and dermabrasion. Hydroquinone is very harsh for the skin and its painful to me to use. Vitamin C is awesome!!!!! The sun is not your friend it will ruin you skin and give you leather face....Sunscreen!!!!!!!!

[@christopherdessources]

Yea it looks more fresh when it's even toned, regardless of skin tone

[@wwondertwin]

But you can get tested and safe products for hyperpigmentation. Like tranexamic acid, it's great for the purpose and works safely even on deep skin tones. No need to use the harsh and toxic stuff. And sunscreen! Even darker skin benefits from SPF because it will prevent hyperpigmentation caused by UV light.

It’s lowkey heartbreaking the way the female rapper remains in staunch denial at the end of the video when she’s confronted with the reality of what she’s endorsing. She’s determined to forever prioritize lighter skin over potentially dying or having her own skin rot away like that one poor woman’s. Then again, her denial is of the sort that revolves around not wanting to know- as if remaining in the dark about what those creams do will shield her from the reality. She herself admitted to having had an expert explain what the product contained but she can’t remember because she didn’t want to. The imagine of Beyonce on her blouse speaks volumes- aesthetics over health. I resist judging her though, as I have no idea what it’s like to be under that kind of cultural/racial pressure. The whole concept is so sad and I just hope she takes care of herself because I truly feel for people like Jeff and the lady that damaged her skin beyond repair. She must live in pain every day, I hope at least being treated for it can minimize that. I’m sure once people are past being truly helped, they do learn their lesson and shouldn’t be shamed- just use their stories as cautionary tales for others. That said, it’s great to see some South Africans embrace their beautiful, natural dark skin and promote it proudly as we saw in that photoshoot.

She unfortunately ended up dying. News says because of diabetes, but I'm thinking it's from liver and kidney damage from hydroquinone skin bleaching, seeing as she couldn't even be in the sun. Just really sad and unnecessary.

MrRedwhite12 You are right, and one of the worst mind f-cks is to be told that you are not worthy of being allowed to make choices, and need big brother policies pushed on you by government officials. Everything has risks, and adults should be able to weigh risks and benefits and decide for themselves. When the government gets involved, almost inevitably things get more, not less, dangerous. Forced to go "underground" products end up being produced by unscrupulous people who don't list ingredients, start competing with other unscrupulous people to come up with stronger stuff, and don't track or care about their customers. Anyone who thinks making something people want illegal will prevent them from getting it needs to take a good look at what the so called "war on drugs" has accomplished, and not accomplished. While teaching us all to love ourselves and others just the way we are is a noble ambition, we need to also accept that some will always want to change things about themselves, and the best way to protect people is to give them accurate information, access to products that are labeled properly, the right to decide for themselves, and to get help for any complications that might arise without fear of being shamed, arrested, or fined.

Fair or dark skin is a norm in southeast asia.. it does not determine status or familical root, even one family can have dark and fair skinned members at once as what is in your family.. but often I heard the stress is real in the Philippines particularly for ladies. I think Filipino media brainwash is to be blamed.. they always pick fair skinned female as leading celebrities. But somewhere outside in foreign lands.. often I see the fair skinned and good looking Filipino ladies date dark skinned Indian men, some of the men could also be much elder or already married, yeah we know it's always about the money.. on the other hand we also often see dark skinned Filipino ladies with white, caucasian men.. and quite many of them are in serious relationship or married to each other. So life always has its blessings in return for those who are discriminated and it is never a right thing for a mother to compare her children especially on things that comes by nature.

Dark skin, especially in Africa, is to protect the skin where the sunlight is more intense. People in Nordic countries have lighter skin because the sun is less intense, and without sunlight penetrating the skin their bodies will be unable to metabolize Vitamin D.

You can’t blame others for peoples actions. Everybody has their own ability to make a decision on what they choose to do and what they want to buy into. I don’t take ownership for anybody else’s decisions and how they feel about themselves. It did not come from me. If you decide to let society rule your decision making that’s on you. I’m so sick of people blaming others for how they feel and their actions. Own your own shit. At some point people have to take responsibility. That female rapper has her own promoter dude... a black dude telling her she needs to sell what’s fake. He’s full of shit and he knows it. Just as every American Hollywood producer knows they’re full of shit when they tell actors and actresses what they need to do to get the job. They force these people into thinking that they have to achieve impossible standards and they buy into it. They can’t blame anybody else but themselves.

Same goes for when I visited my parents home country. I wasn’t dark enough for the citizens to accept me as „one of them“. They directly figured that I wasn’t from the country and directly treated me differently... but I don’t even care anymore about such things. I know who I am.

[@cafecompsico]

you surelly never lived in Brazil, am I right? Because there is no such thing as a "brazillian" skin tone. Only foreigners believe this kind of thing.

[@Happymind-happyworld.]

I don’t care which celebrity is light skinned, if men won’t marry me or who won’t hire, I am definitely staying black.

[@mssburr]

Correct!!!!

[@ehno4913]

[@pm1647]

This is true most celebs who bleach in SA get shamed a lot

[@melonie_peppers]

[@1lamouna]

Off topic, but that Bangladeshi Journalist is just GORGEOUS!

[@NuanceSociety]

Isn't she just 💕

[@davedawave2]

I was looking for this comment she's gorgeous but when she said dark bengladeshi I rolled my eyes she not dark I've seen darker

[@Ms.ViridianaP_Williamson]

They don't have to bleach their skin. Society has to change its beauty standards, role models and the concept of being eligible based on your skin color. As well as sensitize ourselves and the future generations to embrace and love the diversity of skin colors.

[@jag5798]

I was working in Indonesia and the doctor asked me if I wanted to do an IV treatment to whiten my skin?? Why, I said? I am loving my Mexican tan - I dont have to lay out. They said because dont you want to look American? I said “I am American”. “Most try to get tan, not milky white” “Everyone likes to look like they just got back from vacation and have a healthy glow”.

[@nmc987]

JA G that’s a good story ! But um.. not all Mexicans are tan by the way

[@karinapratiwi90]

I'm sorry that you have to experienced that. I'm Indonesian and I'm completely appalled by my people skewed perception of beauty. I feel like we need to ensure that the next generations have a better understanding that beauty comes in all shapes, shades and forms.

[@beyonceknowles3996]

JA G i cant really believe that happened lmao

[@ronzac55]

JA G i am Indonesian and i agree that skin whitening is also a problem here. There are so many products sold and i even have used a rice soap labelled natural to keep my skin bright. I am of Chinese descent and my skin’s factory default is already ‘bright’ enough, yet people closest to me always notice how i am ‘darker’. I have used completely legal Indonesian lotions (the ones that are sold in pharmacy as well as supermarket) and also Japanese brand lotion with ‘kojic’ substance. Watching this documentary has opened my eyes that i have never even had any doubt about the ingredients that are really contained in the products i have used. When it’s widely sold, i just automatically assumed that it’s ‘safe’. Thankfully i haven’t used such products in a few years.

[@11redlions]

no no i am irish American and i love my pink/white complexion. id never want to cook my flesh in the sun.

[@IndigoPriestess]

That singer/ rapper looked much more beautiful black🤔 what was she thinking ew 🤮🤢 love yourself. Black is beautiful. I see skin cancer in the future of these delusional people

[@nancydavieau4951]

Indigo Priestess Also - look at her hair.

[@ender_nerd4345]

Indigo Priestess U might call them delusional but then you are calling everyone else following beauty standards delusional, which is practically the majority of the world population. Maybe even including yourself.

[@hembaduudin7962]

They aren’t delusional, people were ashamed of dark skin after people ruined them (racism, slavery, all that) it’s a scar letting us know what we’ve done to others

[@annabellasaintonge9048]

@bye girl you don't need to please mens opinion on you. If they want to change who you are and what you look like then they arent worth the effort.

[@annabellasaintonge9048]

@bye girl who gives a damn what they say mock them back

[@lauren30128]

It's sad people with dark skin don't realise how beautiful their skin colour really is

[@kay-ty5rx]

I mean no one ever talks about the universal hatred towards their tone, from other races. Sticks and stone won’t break their bones, but prolonged deliberate bashing will

[@randialade8751]

You don’t get it and like always it’s easier to just point fingers and say people with dark skin don’t realize there beautiful...a lot of this hatred stems from white colonization, white control of the economy, and white standards of beauty

[@lauren30128]

@@randialade8751 So I can't say their skin colour is beautiful because I'm white?

[@randialade8751]

Lauren Farrow lol you didn’t say there skin is beautiful you said “it’s sad people with dark skin don’t realize how beautiful their skin color really is” which means your not educated about the history of colonization in Africa and why dark skin people want to bleach there skin.
