Is there any lotion cream to make black people (me) go lighter in skin colour?
Yes, there are loads. Sadly, all the major cosmetic houses do lightening ranges (Lancome, Chanel, Yves St Laurent, Shiseido…) and they will bleach your skin, it’s true. I’m a pale blue Scot living in Asia and I find it hard to get hold of skincare that ISN’T whitenening – and you see all these women going about with paler faces and dark limbs. The pale amongst us want colour, the coloured amongst us want to be pale. Black skins are beautiful, healthy looking skins – be happy with what you’ve got and don’t go trying to change. Unless you have millions to waste on lightening your whole body (and look how stupid Michael Jackson looks), you’re going to get a patchy, unhealthy look at best.
