Is Skin Bleaching Safe?
The basic difference between the black complexion and the white complexion is the melanin content of the skin. Black people have more melanin than white people. Melanin is a good thing because it protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The more melanin one has in his or her skin the darker the one appears. The skin tends to increase melanin production in response to continued exposure to the sun. This explains why white people get darker during the summer.
