DON'T LET THE WHITE MAN DICTATE YOUR ACTIONS!
You are beautiful as you are. The beauty industry that sells whiteneing cream that burns the skin of the dark people and sells tanning cream that gives cancer to the light people want you to BELIEVE that you are not "right" the way you are.
LOVE YOURSELF and others will love you too.

Why do you ask? I would send you in a different direction and say, why don't you ask "What are some ways I can enhance the beauty of my dark skin?" There's nothing wrong with a new outfit or a spa treatment... Sometimes we need to solicit compliments from others to remind ourselves that we are beautiful... It's an investment in your confidence!
Tip: If you are in New York, go to Bloomingdale's for one special outfit, and have one of the ladies be your "personal shopper" (free service, just walk in there like a celebrity and say that you want a personal shopper today, seriously) and they'll dress you all up, if that sounds fun to you. Just tell them you want something to enhance your dark skin. You will feel much better if you approach your issue with your dark skin from a more positive light (no pun intended).

Well I know of african americans bleaching their skin somehow but I am not sure how it's done. All I know is a couple of black ladies I know always said they used suntan lotion to keep from burning when they were out in the sun. Sorry I wish I could help u more. Do you have a close dark dkinned friend or someone else if you are able. If you donot get an answer I will ask a couple of people I know to see what they say, Good luck too you.

why? Are you ashamed of your color. If your already dark skinned then you can't get that much darker. Black is beautiful, get some confidence.
