The Melanin Scoop: Beyond Skin Deep.

The black skin is so exceptional, it's more than just a skin color, but many people never fully get it. It's a skin color always carrying stories, stories of survival, of heritage, of pain, of strength. And yet, for the longest time, we were made to believe it was something to be ashamed of. Growing up black people have constantly being critisized becos of their <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link" href="https://skin.The" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skin. The </a> insult came early: “see as this one black like charcoal.” Like charcoal doesn't fuel our homes, cook our food, and keep our lives going. I've heard stories of Michael Jackson, how he changed his skin tone over the years. I don't know how true it is, but it shows me how deep the pressure can be. Imagine having the world at your feet, the fame, talent and still feeling like you're not enough. That's the power of these messed-up beauty standards. And to be honest, bleaching is not the flex people think it is. It’s like telling your skin, “Sorry, I don't rate you, so let me borrow another person’s shade.” But black skin can never be borrowed. It has always been meant to stand out. To glow under the sun. To carry scars, and still look like art. Every shade tells a story of beauty the world tried to dim. We’ve been made to believe that fairer is finer. That the lighter your skin, the more you’re seen. But that’s a common misconceptions that should be debunked. Because melanin isn’t a flaw, it’s a flex. And if you've noticed, the very black skin that has be ridiculed is now a global <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link" href="https://influence.Big" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">influence. Big </a> fashion shows are looking for models with rich melanin. photographers now want that natural, unfiltered glow. Top brands are paying millions just to have a dark- skinned face represent them. Black models are thriving more in the industry. Dark-skinned women are breaking barriers. But yet, we still feel less of ourselves because of our skin color. Black beauty needs no <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link" href="https://validation.Black" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">validation. Black </a> is beautiful. Black is bold. Black is unapologetic and it was never, ever a mistake. And just so you know "Black don’t crack" isn’t just vibes, it’s science. The higher levels of melanin act like a natural shield, protecting against sun damage and slowing signs of aging. That’s why Black skin often looks younger for longer. So whether you're chocolate, caramel, ebony or vanilla own your shade. Care for it. Because your skin is not something to "fix" it's rare and you know it.
