Yellowman: Turning A Skin Disorder Into An Asset

If you are reggae fan and/or familiar with music of the eighties, you probably have heard of Yellowman. Starting off as a deejay, he went on to build a successful musical career, becoming the first dancehall artist to be signed a major American record label.

His songs, as with many reggae songs of the time, had social-political, philosophical, and often lewd message to them.

A gifted song writer, he had a knack of turning a common quote, slang, cliché or even meaningless or vocal unintelligible sound into a lovely musical rhythm (or riddim as it is called in Jamaica). Examples of this would be Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt and Zungguzungguguzungguzeng. His "riddim" has been sampled numerous times by a range of rap artists.

Yet, he has had to overcome adversity virtually all his life. For one, he was brought up in a Catholic orphanage in Jamaica as he was abandoned by his parents.  He also had albinism, a condition that caused him to be shunned as it carried a social stigma in Jamaica.

But rather than allow his skin condition to define him in a negative way, he turned it into an asset. He called himself Yellowman, and later he would become known as King Yellowman. Everyone (virtually) loved him more for it. I'm pretty sure that, because of King Yellowman, the social stigma of albinism in Jamaica has at least been diluted.

Videos: Black Celebrities And The Light vs. Dark Skin Controversy



We have said this before and we will say it again; the topic around skin lightening is a controversial one. Recently, a Kenyan journalist of Asian descent wrote about it (see quote below) in the top-selling Kenyan newspaper. The issue appears to permeate different cultures.


As we know, many young African and South Asian women take this option, using skin-harming products to chase the illusive beauty myth that surrounds light skin. (Source: Sunday Nation)


Various celebrities, almost all of them female, have been caught in the imbroglio. Here are some videos on what they had to say (we reserve our opinion):

The Truth About Natural Skin Whitening



How to Get Lighter Skin Naturally and Safely


Needles to say, skin whitening (aka skin lightening) is a controversial topic. However, there is more to this as we shall see shortly.

Throughout history, many cultures have adapted cosmetic regimens that centered around the whitening of the skin. This was often tied to concepts of social elevation and purity associated with the color white in the natural environment.

But perhaps most importantly, these cosmetics functioned to conceal the blemishes incurred by exposure to the environment, disease, and inadequate nutrition.

The ancient Greeks employed a pigment made with powdered lead, which had obvious negative impacts on health and sanity, even in their own estimation. Ancient Chinese gentry often used a paste made with kaolin, the white clay found along the banks of the Jiangxi River.

Modern Skin Lightening Regimens


There are a number of ways you can affect a lighter shade of skin today. These range from complex surgical procedures involving lasers to organic bleaching agents found in many fruits and plants.

Individuals may elect to lighten their overall skin tone due to remnants of a less savory cultural ideology that associates skin lightness with personal worth—a rather deplorable but pernicious hallmark of European Imperialistic Hegemony and its racist connotations.

That being said, there are also a number of other cosmetic reasons to pursue a lightening regime. Age spots, sun damage, birthmarks, scars, and other blemishes can impact your self-image disproportionately. Rather than undergoing costly and painful laser treatment therapy, an ideal solution would be one that used natural ingredients and could be applied topically or ingested.

These products are available on the open market or by dermatologist prescription, and include the following (this is just a small list as there are many more):

  • GSH This substance is synthesized in all mammalian cells from the components glycine, cysteine, and glutamate. It’s also found in watermelon, avocado, broccoli, spinach, and tomatoes. It is often administered orally.
  • L-cysteine peptide This is found naturally in poultry, egg yolks, yogurt, Brussels sprouts, red peppers, broccoli, onions, garlic, oats, and other foods. Because it performs similar internal functions as GSH, but is many times more powerful, it does have potential to act as a skin lightening agent, but scientific evidence is still lacking to date.
  • Vitamin C Large doses of topically applied vitamin C, with accompanying fruit acids, provide bleaching effects.
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Lycopene
  • Kelp
  • Olive leaf extract
  • Hawthorn, jujube, bearberry extract, Glyeyrrhiza glabra extract and other collagen bearing, acidic plant based therapies. These are largely a part of holistic pharmacopeias and have not been subjected to rigorous scientific analysis.

Once more, the above is but a small list of substances that may help in brightening of skin. This area is extensively studied and more substances get added virtually daily. Some informational products may point toward natural ways to lighten your skin.
