My wife used to use "skinwhite" cream when I met her.
I used to dislike seeing all the white-skinned models on the TV and posters in the Philippines, particularly because most of the ladies in the Philippines were and still are of Malayo-Polynesian descent.
Then she came to live in the UK where darker skin is seen as being more attractive.
The world-wide cosmetic industry laughs all the way to the bank
emma uses this soap whitner over there too , but i try and tell her that i fell in love with her the way she is and people word love to have her colour over here
They'll never listen
media all over the world must be working with these cosmetic and tanning companies
I saw my mahal using a talcom powder on her face that made her look a little whiter. I tell her that women in the Uk would die to have her colour, but she wants to be whiter. mad isn't it
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
can you get a browning soap my legs just go red in the sun then straight back to white
As life is to live so love is to give
yep its called mud
There is an irony here that people are not happy with their natural skin colour, and it's no "pigment of the imagination"
Melanocytes are the cells which produce melanin pigment as a natural skin protection factor. The most important risk factor for malignant melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, is UV (ultraviolet) light. Yet its frequency has grown faster than any other cancer, especially but not only in light-skinned / fair-skinned people. Don't forget the sunblock creams, lotions and sprays, the only ones that really matter!
oh yes Steve tried that and marmite.
As life is to live so love is to give
yak marmite i live not far from the factory and when the wind blows so does the smell
Haha!
Im glad i never use skin whitener!
I dont care what people say in the Philippines...yes i have a dark skin. SO? Im proud of it and you know why.....
Im prettier and more attractive than them! And im 100% still getting the attention even i was married, have 2 kids, divorce and married again...
This is my natural color and this is what God has given me so im satisfied and happy!
BUT i keep my skin flawless so i eat fruits and have to detox sometimes from eating all the naughty food!
Ive heard enough of the side effects from using skin whitener, from soaps, capsules, and injectable ones. And i thought..nah! Im happy with my color!
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!
Thats good,but if you were applying for a job here (R.P) ,the interviewer might not be happy with your colour and has a perfect right to say that you are too black for the position.And i thought..nah! Im happy with my color!
Yeah, I've heard and read about this and do see quite often in the profiles on dating sites, girls mentioning having white or brown skin and wondered why they bother putting that?Originally Posted by Steve.r

Hey Sir Fred I am no black! Did you mean brown?
Thats why i hate the descrimination here in RP without knowing the ability and the background of ones personality...tsk tsk!
O well i never applied for a job here in my own country anyways, but incase i needed to, I aint gonna let them say that to me....i will have them eat my words and walk out with a head and chin up high!
And one more thing I aint gonna apply for a job with an opposite description to what they are looking for.
I would rather hear im no "meztizang hilaw" atleast im proud that everything in me is "NO FAKE, NO ARTIFICIAL!"
And i guess thats why foreign are madly absessed with Filipinas as they are naturally brown.....not black!

My wife and I went to a barbeque a few weeks back and we met many nice Fil-Brit couples.
We were both pleasantly surprised to see that the children from these parents have nice features, their skin colour was very appealing to my wife as she saw how her children might look.
She always looks forward to having children with "long nose and white skin"
I don't think she will ever rid herself of the attraction of white skin though.
I think this attraction comes through many generations and perhaps this belief will only change when the media in the Philippines uses models/actresses who have that beautiful brown skin colour that I prefer.
Sometimes when I watch TV in Cebu City, I feel I am in Hong Kong or Taiwan when I see so many white skinned actors and actresses
Have Filipina's not noticed that white is the colour of a pig? So you want to look like a pig huh?

well, its the way our old folks raised us. nowadays, not everyone uses "baby powder" anymore. it's not just the white effect, we use it to take the oily look off our face. as for me, i use it on my body to help me feel cool, to eliminate the sweaty feeling esp with the tropical weather we have -
...and i remember my grandmother, my aunts and my mama when i use it. among my siblings, i am the only one left using baby powder :(
The natural dark colour Filipino's have is a HEALTHY look! You are effortlessly HEALTHY looking..it's very attractive... it's my favourite thing about Philippines - Everbodys good looking!
Pale skin can be percieved as being unhealthy.. "Are you ok? You look pale?" etc

i am proud of my brown skin
we all should be happy who we are
Hahaha! Yes, you are right about the media. But nonetheless, there are people who don't really look good tan although I know some who look better when they are darker.
One time, after a summer outing, I tried on some of my tan make up knowing it was the only time I can use them for it will blend well with my present color. I passed by my ex hubby's office that afternoon and he gave me weird look, I knew what he had in mind. Then he said, "don't ever use that shade again." Hahahaha I didn't like the way it looked on me too.
Last June, after my European tour with my choir, I was about two or three shades darker. We usually get those from tours because we spend a lot of our time roaming the cities during breaks from our concerts. I am normally fair -- not really dark, not really white. But my boyfriend didn't like me too much dark too when he saw me in person. He knew I'm just tanned from the month-long tour before we met. Good nice brown suited me, a little fair for I am performing in front of crowd. Filipinos tend to admire fair performers. If I can have a preferred skin type, it won't matter if I'm not white as long as I have a nice even color and (wishing) a really smooth skin. Too bad, with the pollution here and my lack of the right nutrients (and my age) I never really had the luxury to be attentive to my skin.

Is this how you look at white people? Just wondering...Have Filipina's not noticed that white is the colour of a pig? So you want to look like a pig huh?
Peace!
the skin we all have is just a outer layer , skin deep, its whats inside that counts ad when someone has found the best from each other well what else matters, love is blind, its whats in our hearts we are all chaseing
Sorry for the dual post. I don't have editing privilege.
well the good news is that when your in the UK- if you want to work its illegal to discriminate on the colour of your skin.Hey Sir Fred I am no black! Did you mean brown?
Thats why i hate the descrimination here in RP without knowing the ability and the background of ones personality...tsk tsk!
O well i never applied for a job here in my own country anyways, but incase i needed to, I aint gonna let them say that to me....i will have them eat my words and walk out with a head and chin up high!

You are absolutely right Sparky!
I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!
I wish my wife was as proud of her skin as you are ranii am proud of my brown skin
You are lucky in that you are confident
I get the feeling that most Asian ladies are not as confident with their brown skin, this is borne out by the sales of "skinwhite" and other such products.
Good for you
funny how many so caled white people sit in the sun all day long to be the colour of our partners , seems we are quids in already
Try telling that to a Filipina Stevethe skin we all have is just a outer layer , skin deep, its whats inside that counts ad when someone has found the best from each other well what else matters, love is blind, its whats in our hearts we are all chaseing
I am presuming most are like my wife.
No not all. I am brown . Not like a zoombie come back from the grave. Looks horrible.Yakss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
