Its usually amazing how people whom we probably knew way back in High School or College change drastically when we later meet with them and we wonder if they were the ones we actually knew or not. Some exhibit some behavioral changes and others physical changes - Some change from being thin to plump or fat; nerdy look to a very cool one and black to white!
You see...
I was surfing the net some days ago and a
particular picture caught my attention. Now, its not like I haven’t seen similar
pictures recently or that this particular one was any different; but trust me its
sure attention trapping and jaw dropping that it got me stare for close to
5mins because this particular "fashion"as we call it today is fast trending and seem "trendy"
to some group of people.
I am sure you are not new to this seemingly
trendy new found love among young and beautiful ladies today. But the increase
and craze for this transformation got me a little concerned and I decided to
check out the difference between what these people call skin toning and what I
think is actually skin bleaching with pictures of course to drive home the
glaring difference.
In Layman’s term, “Toning” ideally means using
products to “even” one’s complexion, while bleaching means to “change” one’s
natural birth color.

Bleaching: This is an art whereby you
take away the first epidermis of the outer layer of the skin and second and
third epidermis of the skin which is the finest skin, then one looks entirely
white just like an European because you have bleached to the finest layer of
the skin which is very risky.
Toning: Toning in beauty means
different things. It could either mean to make the body firmer with exercise or
it could be means of tightening the pores to minimize acne breakout, reduce oil
and balance the skin or it is way of repairing damaged skin caused by the sun
or discoloration of the skin due to carelessness. It does not have any side
effects it rather restore the dullness of the skin and makes it look
attractive.
Now lets check out images of beauty blacks turn white!
