A member asked:
My skin colour is dark black..bt i want to have a fair & glorious skin..melanin is only reason for darkening skin.how to decrease melanin secretion?

You ARE glorious!: Melissa, don't try to change the skin color that Nature gave you. If you try to bleach your skin, you will mutilate yourself & people will disapprove. In the US, which sets trends for the world, judging a person by their skin color is considered the height of ignorance. Being physically fit, having good life and social skills, and embracing who you are make for beauty.
