We’re glad SOMEONE is speaking out about the evils of skin bleaching.

Thandie Newton Takes A Stand Against Skin Bleaching Creams On Her Instagram

We recently reported about the extreme popularity of skin lighteners and bleaching creams, particularly in Africa — well actress Thandie Newton, who is half Zimbabwean recently posted about the topic on her Instagram.

Thandie deplored the fact that these creams can be found in pharmacies all over Portobello Rd. in London.

What we love about Thandie’s Instagram is that it’s full of beautiful images of women of all colors, but particularly strong black women, like this one which preceded the bleach post and provided a pretty stark contrast.

Do you think that something should be done to keep these creams off our shelves? How do we help women of all complexions embrace the skin they were born in?

Any suggestions???
