Look at this article

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/718359.stm

On top is the article I just read about a country named Mali, that has women that bleach their skin. It damages their skin and inflicts pain to their skin. Maybe it's because they are ebullient to try this, or because they think men find bleached women salacious or that women with bleached skin won't bring a dowry to their marriage. The media is mesmeric, girls that don't embellish their skin are considered second class citizens. In the article they are being salubrious and saying that they shouldn't bleach their skin. I think that too because it can probably cause skin cancer and can make them pallid.
