Beauty Comes In All Colors

Beauty isn’t just about what we look like, it is also about what is inside us

Your thoughts (91)

You must have heard people say things like, “that girl is too black. If she was yellow, she would be fine".

Even some adverts, on TV or billboards, make it seem like light skinned models are the best.

But beauty isn’t about fair skin or long, straight hair. Beauty isn’t about having a skinny body. Beauty isn’t only about what we look like.

It’s about what is inside. It’s about how we act. It’s about how we treat people. When we are good to people, we are beautiful to them.

Some girls even bleach because they want people to think they are beautiful.

Bleaching can be dangerous. Some of the chemicals that whiten the skin can also cause serious health problems. Some bleaching products can cause scarring, and even some skin cancers. Some can even kill.

Some bleaching creams use words, like “herbal” or “natural,” to make us believe that they are safe.

The truth is, many things are technically natural, but that doesn't mean that they're good for us.

We are beautiful just the way we are. When we are confident and happy, our beauty will glow for everyone to see.

Do you think beauty is all about looks? It isn’t. Real beauty is in our character, attitude to life, and behaviour. Don’t look down on your appearance or the looks of others.

is it okay to use a soft foam or any soft substance to wash your face while bathing?

March 20, 2022, 8:03 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Floxy! It is best to exfoliate once in a while with sponge or better still, use a clean wash sponge if you do not feel comfortable washing your face without a sponge. We hope this helps.

having a positive attitude, pursuing peace among individual and being myself and never trying to be like anybody has been the best way I used and thus making me stronger and More beautiful.

but big sis does it mean i should remove the upper layer of my face? won't it injure me? please give me ideas on how to keep my face free from all kinds of skin diseases

March 20, 2022, 8:03 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Floxy! No one said you should remove the upper layer of your face. We advised that exfoliating should be done once a while (exfoliating is when you use a mild scrub on your face to remove the dead skin cells). We hope this clarifies your question.

hmmmmmmm,mean remove the upper is the best thing

Hey Floxy! Lol. I am not angry at your question. Big sister is human just like you and she has experienced most of what you all are going through which is why she finds it easy to answer your questions when they come. Most of these questions are answered based on experience. We hope this answers your question and thanks for asking,

Which cream shall i use dat can make my body fresh and smooth.???

Latest Reply

Hey Marie! We cannot recommend a cream for you to use. However, we suggest you use things your skin is comfortable with or natural therapies like shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, aloe vera gel etc. Also, don't forget to drink lots of water, eat healthy and also get good enough rest because these also go a long way in determining how your skin looks like. We hope this helps.

Hey Vicangel! If you don't have pimples, then your face is fresh to a large extent. You can try any of these methods for a smooth face. Wash your face at least twice a day but it should not be more than this frequency, keep your hands and nails as clean as possible by washing them regularly with soap and water. Avoid popping the pimple, stop touching your face, remove all the makeup from your face before going to sleep. Do not use cosmetics containing chemicals that will irritate the skin. Also, cut down on dairy and sugary foods. Eat more fiber, walnuts, fish and vegetables. Wash your pillowcases and bed sheet regularly and drink lots of water. We hope this helps.

Big sis what can i use to clear my face from rashes

March 20, 2022, 8:01 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Tano! You can treat rashes by applying olive oil on your face (after washing it). Leave for about 1 hour and wash. Clean face with a neat towel. Also, you can use aloe vera gel to cure rashes on the face. Apply to the face, leave for 20 minutes and wash off. Remember to use either of the 2 methods (not both) and do this 3 times a week. While treating rashes, remember to wash your towel, bed sheets, pillowcase, and anything that you put on your face. We hope this helps.

Because no one can be like me and no one can play my part in this world

I knw that I am specially made by God. But something makes me think it's a lie nd which is "the calf of my leg is big" as in very big. Nd sometimes I do think people looks at it when I walk pass by.....nd my frnds insults me for that nd that makes me feel so inferior .pls big sis wat should I do to lessen the calf of my leg? nd does that mean that I am not beautiful?

Hey Deborah! No darling, beauty is not about the size of your calf but your true personality. There are people out there that are beautiful on the outside but have very ugly personalities. Do not allow what your friends say affect you. What you need to do is to learn to love yourself the way you are and you will see that people will begin to appreciate you. We hope this helps

Hey Sholey! Some natural cures for stretch marks include; aloe vera gel: apply and leave on affected area for about 20 minutes. Wash off. Lemon juice: apply and leave for about 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Potato: cut potato into round slices, rub on affected place. Once the potato juice has dried off, rinse off. Shea butter: apply shea butter on the affected place as cream. Keep doing this. Be sure to use any of these methods. We hope this helps.

March 20, 2022, 8:01 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey unik! Thanks for the comment. Is the discolouration natural or was it caused by the use of cream? If it is natural, do not let what people say bother you because there is little or nothing you can do about it. The best you can do is to learn to love your skin the way it is so that others will learn from you. However, if it was caused by the use of cream, we advise that you stop using the cream immediately and also see a skin doctor (dermatologist). We hope this helps.

Please Is "Pure Skin" a bleaching,even though they say it doesn't contain hydroquinone but it brightens up one's colour a bit and makes you a bit fair more than you were before you started using the cream.

Hey oluwatoyosi11! Thanks for the comment. Yes, some people get intimidated when they are turned down by boys based on their skin tone. The truth is that anyone that rejects a girl because she is a certain color does not actually deserve that girl. Beauty has nothing to do with color or skin tone. Beauty is all about the personality. What these girls need is to be more confident and proud of what they have and who they are. We hope this helps

How can i make my face brighten a bit .. .and is it through that if iuse toothpaste and salt on my face my face will be more beautiful.

March 20, 2022, 7:58 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Milicent! Please, do not apply toothpaste and salt on your face. These two things are meant for totally different uses and not for the face.Salt is too harsh for the skin and toothpaste is meant to be used to clean the teeth. These things will not make your face look beautiful or enhance your skin. We advise that you read the article "Hey you natural beauty" for natural skin friendly tips on maintaining the skin. We hope this helps

Hello Lexy, You can try the natural oils like shea butter, cocoa butter or coconut oil. Use them all over your body everyday and massage more of the oil into the parts of your body with stretchmarks. Try and do this regularly for a while because stretchmarks won't go immediately. We hope this helps.

Hello Lexyblinkz You can apply potatoes, tomatoes and aloe vera. You are welcome dear.
