karachittes are darker then rest of pakistan.

Please tell me you’re joking with this comment.

When this flaw is constantly picked out over and over and over and over by the people who you wanted to be accepted by. Its hard to ignore.

The US has less this issue than the UK for various demographic reasons.

I know what you mean.

Darker skin (if you take good care of it) tends to age better than lighter skin. It’s less sensitive to the sun, which causes many of the wrinkles in old age. I’ve always thought it was funny that…considering how obsessed our society is with being youthful (botox, etc)…that they’d be greater appreciation for darker skin because it tends to age better. It’s kinda funny…like one group having the last laugh.

You ladies have beautiful coloring. Allah makes all his people beautiful. Believe in that and you will feel it come from within you.

Ladies, since when is being kaali a bad thing?

You will not change your skin tone, other peoples’ minds or the way our society thinks. So don’t try.

My mom is super fair. My dad is really dark. I am the darkest in my sisters. I used to think this was really bad because the same desi mentality…dark = ugly. I actually remember being 5 years old and praying to Allah to make me lighter. Even my ex-MIL made comments at me for being dark! I am an NC30.

It stops when you stop.

You look at what Allah swt has given you. The blessings. The personality. The opportunities. The chances. The face. The color you DO have. And you start to become grateful.

You can’t go through life letting other people dictate what you see yourself as. That is a waste of time because you will NEVER appeal to everyone’s sense to taste. NEVER. There will always be someone who thinks you’re not all that. Being fair will not make this go away.

I have a friend whose face and color is a perfect 10…but she is severely insecure about her figure.

What might help is understanding that Allah swt makes us all a certain way…he doesn’t make mistakes. He makes us perfect. Work on the health of your skin, your body and be the best version of you. That is enough.
