Would you ever want to change your skin colour?

I also saw a lot of people here in our place have changed their skin color. When i ask them why do they wanted to be really have a white skin. They says that it is good looking if you have white complexion. For me no matter what your skin color is, you are still good looking. I mean i believe in what they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". But well we cannot really control what some people wanted their skin complexion will be. But no matter what skin color you got one should be proud of.

I have never understood why people would do this I have a pale complexion and I cant change it but even if i could I wouldnt its part of what makes me ... ME

I may not be the most beautiful woman in the world but in my bf's eyes, I am the most beautiful woman he has ever met in his life. Funny but true. I am a Filipina and I have a natural tanned skin. In my country, they are saying that white skin looks good on you. I have tried some skin whitening products 15 years ago due to some influences but those kind of stuffs doesn't work. I don't want to change my skin color as I know that its not healthy and those skin whitening products contain harmful ingredients. My bf is a caucasian guy and he likes my color, he wants to be tanned like me in the future. I am proud of myself and will never change my skin color.

Hi Liquorice, I am quite hapy with the skin I was born with and even love my freckles that suddenly appear when the sun comes out on my face, I have fairly pale skin, the old English rose type but haven't even ever been one who likes to get a tan, in fact I stay out of the sun as much as I can as I blister if out for too long even with sunblock. Love the skin your in as they say and I do. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi there liquorice! Good day to you. For me, I would not like to change my skin colour regardless what color it is. I would accept what the Lord gave to me. Also, beauty is not on color, its inside. People perceive color differently, to others, being tan is beautiful and to others, being white is beautiful, the same as to black. Well, for me, every color is beautiful if the inside is beatiful. :)

no i dont want to change my skin.. this is what god gave me.. so love your own..

I am satisfied with what the Good God has bestowed upon me. I do not think it would be quite me if I was dark complexed. I am fair skinned with reddish tones and freckles - and that suits me and my auburn hair just fine :)

I love my Moco, dark chocolate skin color. and I love to see smooth dark skin. I wouldn't change it for the world. I do remember as a child wanting to be light. My family has a mixture of Indian African and Mexican. My sister is light with long pretty straight hair and I always wanted to be that way too. I wondered why I was so dark with curly black hair and a plump noise. I think me wanting to be like her was do to inner and outter racisim. I mean on TV beauty was protrayed as being white or light with long glorious hair and light eyes. and even within my African American culture (if you can call it one, its been striped of it essence) to be light meant something... it meant you were special... why because over time we were made to beleive white was better... and dark was an abomination. even in alot of cultures to be dark was considered ugly...I didn't know it but this same thing goes on in the spanish cultures as well but as I grew older and begain to understand myself I was able to branch out and grab my understanding of what beauty was, I took classes to get a better understanding of my african cultures...and I came to the understandign beauty has nothing to do with color but the person you are inside... I think all colors are beautiful... and people who are looking to change that don't see the beauty within themselves.

i am from asia.. born with tanned skin / dark skin.. whatever you want to call it, very proud of it.. and wont change it.. i think people who truly knows who, what they are all about - their background, their culture, their history, their origin.. would accept themselves as they are, not worrying, not affected by what fashion, or latest trends would be.. what others want them to be.. more importantly.. i would rather worry about having 'beautiful' and 'healthy' skin, than worrying about the skin colour or skin tone...

I would not want to change my physical appearance at all. There is a lot that can be changed like attitude and behavior and lack of knowledge. Banishing ignorance from my brain is a good way to make some changes. Cheers!!

I am brown and sometimes i want to have fair skin but i do not think to have plastic surgery to achieve my desire. I am already content and i accepted that i am naturally brown and skin lightening can help to lighten my skin a bit but it is not permanent, my true color will still prevail.

Well I'm white and white people can change their skin color quite easily. We just need to stay in the sun long enough and we will get a tan. Eventually our skin color will lighten again.It's much easier for a white person to darken their skin than it is for darker races to lighten their skin. That skin lightening stuff uses harsh chemicals and probably damages the skin. The same as if you stay in the sun too long. Changing your skin color is not very safe. The important thing is just to love yourself.

I always like to tan myself in the summer to have brown healthy looking skin but I'm fine with my skin tone, just like to be outside playing in the water so my skin get tan as well by that and I like it.

I don't agree with skin lightening or any kind of medical procedure that would change your skin color - but to each's own. I don't think that it's denying your heritage - as heritage is more than just the color of your skin (it's your culture, language, way of life, etc). One doesn't necessarily have to look the part to play the part. I might be considered a hypocrit, though, because up until a month ago I was tanning in a salon in order to get a tan (slightly darken my skin color) - but for some reason, I think this is different. And honestly, I'm not really denying "my heritage" because while I'm 1/2 Czech, me & my family are really caught up in the "American Culture" and we RARELY practice & celebrate anything from our own heritage's culture.

for me, i would rather stick to my color.. i love my fair complexion...:)

I am an Asian and i have wheatish complex.In Indian culture fair women are always considered beautiful so i have always wanted to have fair skin.But i was not very desperate to have fair skin but it was just my wish that my skin could get lighter.I grew up and came to know that inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty and when i emerged as a stronger and determined person,i started liking myself. After marriage everybody in my in laws family commented on my complexion since my husband has a fair complexion but now i am above all these things and enjoy my reputation of being friendly,helpful,soft spoken and honest human being.

I am contented with my skin color, I have a fair skin in nature and very proud of it.For me, skin color is not a big deal for me but some people find skin color important in part because of it's aesthetic value. Some believes that skin color has special value or place them above with others.I just observed that most asian women girls are very particular with changing their color, they think that if they have whiter skin they will look more beautiful and attractive. Most of them spent a lot of money for whitening soap, lotions and etc. Some would even go for laser and plastic surgery.They spent a lot of effort and time to get the wither skin they dreamed of. Some want to have whiter skin because they want to gain confidence. There are a lot of reasons why people want to change their skin and honestly I am not against it, if they want to change thier skin color.But for me it is not a big deal for me.

I am proud of my skin color. My skin tone are yellow brownish like. I don't think I ever want to change it at all. I'm happy the way they are. I don't judge people based on their skin color. I think what matter the most are their inner self.

I would not consider changing my skin colour.Not in a million years! I think that is by far the most superficial thing people can think of and I am totally against it. God made us special in our own way.And I am proud of it. Speaking of Micheal Jackson.I still remember how much I laughed when I heard the song "It don't matter if your black or white" and he was trying so hard to be white.:) .Sorry had to bring that up :p
