“So just to be clear, a naturally light skinned woman is walking through a crowd of dark skinned people including children & they’re all ooo-ing & ah-ing at her beauty.”
“And this is to sell a bleaching product which literally has “white” (so subtle btw) in the name?? Meanwhile the entire cast apart from the lead character are all naturally dark skinned people.”
“Is this what we’re teaching our kids in 2022?”
“I don’t think dark skinned people understand how beautifully they are tbh… your favorite light skinned or do I say American celebrities “Tan” constantly because they want your beautiful melanin!”
“Dark skinned children, women & men do not need to be brainwashed into wanting to change their skin colour for any reason at all.”
“If Snow White was alive today I can guarantee you that she’d have a Tanning appointment every Saturday just to get a piece of that melanin boo.”
“Love the skin that you’re in… God knew what he was doing when he created you.”
“People who bleach their skin are the most confused people to me tbh…. if bleaching was so great why are you so ashamed of your knuckles & knees.”
“Do you know that having clean & healthy skin is better than having lighter skin?
“Have you ever seen Kim Kardarshian or Kyle Jenner without a tan? Lol they will never let the general public see them in their real snow white form so why then do you want to change your beautiful skin simply because someone wants to sell a product.”
“Before you buy any bleaching products my dear think… do some research… or even try therapy.”
