These stupid face cream ads I tell you. They’re nonsensical, funny, and
pointless. But yet, they just continue to say things like ‘Gain Self-
Confidence by Getting Fairer Skin’. Don’t ‘Unfair’ people attain
success? Don’t they have self-confidence? Why must you only be ‘fair’
to do so? I don’t get it. Besides, did you know that using fairness
creams regularly, can tan your skin forever? Yes, the tan is
irreversible. So, why try so hard to be someone you’re not, just
because society thinks ‘Whites’ are more superior in the world today?
Get out of your little cocoon of staying away from the sun, just to
retain your so-called fairness. Well, I’d suggest you to get out. Get out
of your little scarves that you use to cover you face with, get out of
your little bubble that makes you think you’re not beautiful?
Let me burst your little bubble and tell you that the fairer you get, the
faster your skin wrinkles and it gets rougher. However, the darker your
skin tone is, the softer your skin gets, and it’s not just me saying it, it’s
a proven fact. Looking at fairness creams, at large, we see that the
men have also joined the race with numerous fairness creams. But, it’s
a good thing that not only women need to be stereo-typically ‘pretty’,
but even men need to work hard. But, let’s get back to the women for
now. When you didn't have double the amount of stress that you have
now, and when you didn't have your so-called invisible ‘wrinkles’ on your
face in your early twenties, I guess that’s when life was really simple.
Back then, you didn't even know what ‘Olay’ or any stupid ‘anti-aging’
cream was. Besides, technically speaking, right after you’re born, you’re
skin starts aging because you can’t have baby skin when you’re a teen
right? And you definitely can’t have a wrinkle-less face when you’re 60.
So, what is this stupid anti-aging creams? Just by slowing the process,
you’re going to have more wrinkles than you've ever thought of when
you get older. So, stop drowning your face with make-up because it is
not going to work till you die. Trust me, God has definitely thought of
something and made you the way you are, so why put make up and spoil
His creation? Be yourself, inside-out. Stop your fairness creams. Stop
cribbing about your skin-tone. If someone has to like you, they will like
you for you, not for your ‘Olay’ or ‘Fair and Lovely’.
