Bleaching And Tanning
We all know about about women all over turning to bleaching creams (and as the documentary shared, women having stillbirths because they won’t stop using them), but who knew about black women tanning to get darker? Raven-Symone admitted that back when she was on “That’s So Raven,” she was tanning three or four times a week. When one of the production staff members told her that she needed to stop because she was messing up the lighting, she stopped: “Sorry just trying to be pretty.”
And another woman tanned so much that she ended up with discoloration all over her face, which she needs therapy to improve.
