Actually FredB & Jhem, the question should be which one has the the better skin complexion. Many [notall]of our people think having white skin or lighter complexion is better. But looking atthe side by side comparison of the two women, for me personally I will take the sister and sistersanytimeover the white lady/ladies. Some sisters who have nice skin like Mrs Trinidad are not happy with their complexion and they would want to ruin it by bleaching it. Next time I find a woman who bleaches, I will tell her to go and look up the word Ochronosis.

Ochronosis is the name given to the damage caused by skin lightning cream. Ochre- means the yellow green pigment that forms in the deeper layers of the skin. This happens only with the use of bleaching creams which contains a chemical substance called Hydroquinone. Unfortunately this causes permanent and irreversible damage-no matter what is applied to thereafter. When Women apply these creams to their face, the skin is bleached and appear lighter than the rest of the body. Then with being in the sun, the skin becomes Darker Black, Velvety and Patches appear on the face and neck. It takes about 3-4 years of using these creams before very bad results occur. Women often seek the help of their doctors or chemist for help and they often prescribe Cortisone to dampen down the inflammations (swelling & redness). But creams such as cortisone unfortunately causes more harm. Pimples develop, redness of the face, stretch marks, hairiness and bleedinfg under the skin develop.
