Sorry to hear you feel that way about your beautiful skin hun. My niece went through the same thing coming of age but, got through as I believe you will. When you do overcome this insecurity you will love your cocoa skin just as much as my niece does(and the boys lol). I don't think trying to lighten your skin is healthy physically or emotionally. Don't pay ignorant people who try to belittle you to make themselves feel better about their own issues any mind. Your. beautiful just as God made you. Good luck.

You're beautiful. Please do not crack down to ridiculous westernized American society standards. Embrace your complexion, and be proud of who you are. I will not help you to diminish your true beauty, but if you want to brighten and freshen up your skin a little, I recommend rubbing your face with fresh lemon juice after a wash. You can wash it off after 15 minutes, but I like to sleep with it on. Cocoa butter also helps to brighten skin, and fade acne scars. Remember that you are beautiful, and keep your head up.(:

Just came here to say that I think you are gorgeous. I think your skin looks absolutely beautiful, but if you do want to "brighten up" just a tad little, you could do what Sharde S. said. I do however, find there to be nothing wrong with your complexion, you look so pretty to me.

You are so beautiful, your skin colour is gorgeous. None of us should feel like we have to eliminate what we were born with, we should be enhancing our natural beauties. I'd wear a shimmer lotion if I had such a pretty complexion like yours. People who are making fun of you are wrong, why do you want to comply with them? I believe that in your heart, you know they're wrong. Love yourself.

You're skin is beautiful!! Who cares what others think, maybe they're just jealous! Don't do something you'll regret. Because that definitely is not safe for your skin

I understand how you feel, when I was younger I hated my skin. Im a lot lighter now because I kind od boycotted the sun, but I really jope that you learn to love and accept yourself. I wear sun screen everytime I go outside because I tan incredibly easily. I also do egg white masks which I leave on for about 15 minuets. Sometimes ill add honey and a little bit of milk which I think keeps my complexion fair. I want you to knoe that I don't think you need this, and that I think you have a beautiful skin tone, but I know how it feels to be made fun of for being darker. whatever you do, please be safe about it.

Girl!! you are beautiful inside and out regardless what anyone says! God made you, the best of you and if people try to hurt you by making fun of you for it then obviously they have insecurities of their own. Own what you got, head held high! :]

I am half Mexican and when I was a kid was extremely tan. So dark I hated it. Stopped going outside and my skin lightened up. Now all I want is to be tan again! So dumb. Moral of the story your skin is beautiful you do not need to lighten it.

hi hun i hate my skintone from now and again.. i start feeling reaally crap about it but then i realized that i wouldnt be who i am if it wasnt for the colour of my skin. god made us like this for a reason and i think we should learn to love ourselvs rathr than feel bad about not looking like others. our skin colour determines where our heritage lies and we should be proud of thatt and not give two hoots about what others think xxx

Girl, you are absolutely beautiful! And those folks who tease you....they are simply jealous because they wish they are as beautiful as you!!! Don't subject your beautiful skin to those awful skin lightening products just to satisfy the haters. Look at N. Campbell and Iman....two models who made history with their beautiful skin. Embrace it as is.xxxx

I'll be shocked if someone puts any link or products that does this. You should LOVE THE SKIN YOU ARE IN! Embrace it! Enjoy it and play with fun eyeshadow colors and cool lipsticks!! And even the natural side of beauty. There is nothing wrong with such a beautiful person like yourself! Never be ashamed-you're beautiful :-)
