When I was 17, I began skin bleaching using glutathione IVs. I am 18 now and a lot changed in a year. I'm still not where I want to be but my skin lightened a little bit. I became more confident, I got more attention from guys (Lets face it, statistics show black women are considered the least desirable race by men 🤷🏼‍♂️,) People were nicer and I get more opportunities. Even if I didn't have self esteem issues before though, like if I just decided to skin bleach for the hell of it, then people would still pity me. They'd act like I need to be in therapy. Why don't white girls who tan get this treatment? Nobody goes "You were so beautiful before dont do this to yourself!" blah blah blah to them. Tanning and skin bleaching are literally the same thing.
