  ...some people have an obsession with bleaching because they think these people want to be white or lite-skin. Girls with lite skin in Ghana have no real advantage over darker skin girls, it is simply a perception entertained by both looker and lookee...if you can ever justify to me that the numerous Caucasians who undergo tanning so desperately want to be black, then perhaps i will buy into your assertion. People all around the world just want to do such things for cosmetic expediency. Unfortunately like anything else if not done professionally there are dire consequences, like tanning and bleaching. In your research you also have to visit the fact that there are certain products on the market who prescribed effects become unknowingly deficient. I am as dark as pitch black, but a fine darkness. Several years ago, I bought a moisturizing lotion from a Dollar Store or Big Lots I think cos the price just seemed amazing and all the labels on the packaging seemed genuine. Some months down the road, I visited my sister, and she asked me if I was bleaching my face. I said an emphatic no, and started pondering, I guessed what the culprit was, and I was astonished to realized that I had no clue about that facial transformation until then. I never used anything from that Dollar Store/Big Lots on my body again or for that matter ingest anything from those places.
  
  All the same, please don't worry yourself to death, many people in Ghana despite knowing the dangers will still practice a good number of bad behaviors, don't make this your passion like you jealous!
  
  Ghanaian have far more debilitating habits than the damaging effects of skin bleaching !!!

  you buy body lotion from dollar store. Poor you invest in yourself. I can see you are a person who does not care about appearance you would have noticed your face before your whatever. I see most ghana women in America looking nasty I think you are one. The writer did great and look at you writing a stupid thesis instead of washing yourself and getting good products.

  That's instructive.
  But what of if the person bleaching is doing so to be given an ambassador position in Germany, must he / she be advised to stop?
