its funny cuiz nikkas used to make gun of the face he had discoloration. Nikka looked like a rac00n for real. This process to fix that is really showing that he aint as dark as he claims.
Breh, a lot of brothas would be shocked how they look if they took care of their skin. CTG was catching hell for YEARS about his face.
You can tell from his arms, nose, and neck what color he really is, and now thats how his whole face looks. Bleaching doesn't do that, it would
have wiped the fukking pigment right off him.

I know I need to get my skincare game up because after years of working in the sun and skateboarding with no sunscreen, my skin is discolored
and wrinkled way more than it was 4 years ago. Not to mention what electric razors did to my skin:mjcry: People just want to assume the worst
with everything, acting like his face wasn't 3 different fukking shades before. In what world is that normal?:stopitslime:

thats that science im talking about breh next level shyt :ohhh:

but whats the difference between correcting and actually bleaching? bc he def getting lighter
With bleaching, you are talking going down to the pigment and lightening everything, practically erasing melanin.

He had hyperpigmentation which can come from heredity or damage from being in the sun, as well as years of
skin buildup (the skin shed often, but it isn't enough by itself.) With typical dermatologist solutions, like Glycolic Acid, it
stimulates skin cell regeneration and gently loosens the dead top layer of skin. Basically you super-shed and get fresh
skin.

It's like when babies are born a light tan and darken as they get older. They had fresh, unblemished skin in the womb
and environmental factors cause change. Everyone calling this bleaching is uninformed at best, stupid at worst. You can find
over the counter solutions to do the same. Hell, lemon juice will naturally do the same thing.

It really isn't next level shyt. Glycolic acid is just a chemical exfoliant (and an alpha hydroxy acid)that has been around for a while that's stronger than say salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid). Basically, if he's using it in a peel form, it will chemically accelerate and shed the topmost layers of his skin causing increased cell turnover. His splotchiness can be avoided (or thus "fixed") by limiting the top layer's existance which also causes fresher skin underneath to come up top more often, creating a much more vibrant look to your skin and a more even skin tone.

Have a look at his older photos and you'll see how splotchy his face his. The glycolic acid (if he's using it) probably shed enough of the top layer that newer skin isn't as affected by it.

EDIT: @At30wecashout beat me to it. :francis:

I'm not a huge Charlamagne fan, but I don't think he's bleaching. :francis:

My little brother has skin discoloration. It's not as bad as Charlamagne's was, but he has a huge patch on the right side of his face that's darker than the rest of his body.

He hasn't been to a dermatologist from what I know of, but my Dad knows a lot about fitness and health, and has him on a diet, as well as some new soaps, lotions, etc. And, even though the discoloration hasn't gone all the way away, he looks a lighter and a lot more vibrant than he did before.

I'm light-skinned, and my little brother used to be like one shade darker than I was, now he's my my skin tone. So I assume that's his natural skin tone.

It's not anything overly complex. Peels help in that they keep whatever active ingredient in the product on your skin for much longer than a cleanser. And that active ingredient could by glycolic acid, resulting in a longer application creating better cell turnover, shedding the topmost layer of skin and revealing more even and vibrant looking skin underneath.

i believe that lemon juice is why some Peruvians are alot darker than other even if both are from the country, but different tribes. The "savages" as the INCA called them worked in the sun, but the INCAS had access to the best lemon juices that they would use as lotions.

Nikkas would be surprised to know how much change can come from NATURAL REMEDIES, but it was a reason that the Natives in South America had huge cities (aztec, incas, mayan, so on so forth). They knew how to survive and prosper on a personal hygienic level FAR beyond the European level

The truth is, most men don't care about taking care of themselves in that way. They just go :yeshrug: Getting older.
Diet, exercise, and a host of products, natural and synthetic, can keep you from progressively looking like shyt.
There is no shame in not letting Father time kill your good looks and well-being.

Exactly. Half the foods we have are also remedies to a ton of things. Lemon is a natural exfoliant and can be used as a bleaching agent.

:whoa: dont stand in the sun after applying lemon juice, though. Will fukk your shyt up.

It's always funny watching haters complain about being hated on? How many times has he speculated and gossiped about other people in negative ways? fukk him. Whether he's bleaching or not, he's still a c00n.
