I love being black because it makes you feel naturally beautiful and I believe true beauty lies on the melanin of your skin.
I would never consider skin bleaching because it would not only damage my skin cells and tissue but also cause my skin to have disorders, even worse skin cancer might affect me in the near future.


My Melanin is my Crown and I shall wear it with pride..

Dark skin is a human skin color that is rich in melanin pigments, especially eumelanin.^[1][2][3]People with very dark skin are often referred to as "black people",^[4] although this usage can be ambiguous in some countries where it is also used to specifically refer to different ethnic groups or populations.^[5][6][7][8]

The evolution of dark skin is believed to have begun around 1.2 million years ago,^[9] in light-skinned early hominid species after they moved from the equatorial rainforest to the sunny savannas. In the heat of the savannas, better cooling mechanisms were required, which were achieved through the loss of body hair and development of more efficient perspiration. The loss of body hair led to the development of dark skin pigmentation, which acted as a mechanism of natural selection against folate depletion, and to a lesser extent, DNA damage. The primary factor contributing to the evolution of dark skin pigmentation was the breakdown of folate in reaction to ultraviolet radiation; the relationship between folate breakdown induced by ultraviolet radiation and reduced fitness as a failure of normal embryogenesisand spermatogenesis led to the selection of dark skin pigmentation. By the time modern Homo sapiens evolved, all humans were dark-skinned.^{[3][10][11][12][13][14][15]}

Humans with dark skin pigmentation have skin naturally rich in melanin (especially eumelanin), and have more melanosomeswhich provide a superior protection against the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation. This helps the body to retain its folate reserves and protects against damage to the DNA.^[3][16]

Dark-skinned people who live in high latitudes with mild sunlight are at an increased risk – especially in the winter – of vitamin Ddeficiency. As a consequence of vitamin D deficiency, they are at a higher risk of developing rickets, and numerous types of cancers, and possibly cardiovascular disease and low immune system activity.

Dark Skin Offers True Resilience

Thanks to the high amount of melanin, darker skinned people have a lesser chance of getting skin cancer. The big irony is that the sun rays is what is responsible for causing skin cancer. Darker skins absorb more sun, due to their dark pigment..

Skin bleaching, or helping, has turned out to be well known in numerous African nations.

Cream
Skin creams are by far the most popular form of bleaching in Africa.
They work by repressing creation of melanin, the shade delivered by presentation from the sun. Fixings incorporate hydroquinone, steroids, lead and mercury. Such creams might be protected in particular measurements for a restricted measure of time. In any case, they might be hazardous when utilized for expanded periods or in high fixations.
What you find is that people use the products for much longer than they’re suppose to and so they start getting those really harmful side effects.
Some companies in Africa have started labelling their products as organic in order to reassure users, most of the time it’s a label to encase some unwholesome ingredients, expert said.
Side Effects
At first, individuals might be satisfied as their skin helps from the cream, and “gleam”. Be that as it may, to keep up the lighter shade individuals need to adhere to the bleaching system.

Over time the skin thins and becomes “mottled” and “patchy”. “It’s been irritated, so there is redness and you can see green veins.
In the most pessimistic scenarios, individuals create ochronosis — a development of corrosive that incomprehensibly influences the skin to seem substantially darker. Utilizing creams with steroids can likewise prompt expanded hair development and stretch imprints.
These creams are generally accessible. In a few areas, over-the-counter against bacterial, hostile to parasitic, steroid creams are being use as whiteners.
Glutathione
The most recent development is a compound called glutathione, taken as injection or in pills. Glutathione which are sold in business sectors or by retailers on the web. Glutathione is an intense cell reinforcement in some cases utilized as a part of growth treatment. It has the symptom of making skin more white, including that it is being showcased as a more secure other option to the creams.

The problem with glutathione, as with skin bleaching creams, is regulation. But unlike with creams, there is a lack of studies on the impact of long-term use of the new product.
Using glutathione is not illegal — just be very cautious, adding that the scale of the risk is not currently know.
