For almost a week now, the picture above has been trending on social media, Instagram, Facebook and twitter; with several funny memes being created out of it.

Though quite funny, some have also lashed out at women who tone their skins using harmful skin bleaching products; a cause attributed to low-self-esteem.

While some dark-skinned people want to lighten their complexion, some fair-skinned people also go to great length to get a deep tan.

Several campaigns has been launched against skin bleaching due to the negative effects it has on individuals.

Be proud of your skin colour, no matter the shade or tone, for black is beautiful.

Say no to skin bleaching.
