What My Khmer Friends And Family Say About My Skin 😬

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY4 years ago

Cambodian friends and family like to talk a lot when they see me and know I never use skin whitening cream or chemicals.

This is picture in Ecuador, I lived here two months

I just the woman a simple, I don’t need life expensive. I love natural life, and I don’t like makeup. Some people in my country (Cambodia) say, why you not make yourself beautiful more?

I said, what make for beautiful? They said, use cream for white skin and makeup every day. I said, oh no 🤦‍♀️, I don’t like it, I like my skin natural.

They said again, skin natural it's black and not have man love you. I laugh 😆 and I say, my skin is brown not black, and I don’t care about that, I love everything I have. Why I care about who a man not love me because my skin brown?

They said, brown and black is dark the same, your skin use cream it’s beautiful, believe us.

I said, example: If I use cream for white skin then I white skin, then have man love me, this is fake love! I don’t need it. If have man love me, he need to love everything I have 😉.

When I was 20 years old, I always to hear that from my family and friends a lot but I never care about people say that. They care about my skin more than me haha 😂. Just some people think like that, not all people.

But I just a woman simple if I don’t like makeup, but I don’t hate it. Sometimes I use makeup also, but I did it when I go to the wedding party and other party, and I tell them makeup me little bit.

Sometimes I go to the party I not makeup also, I just use only lipstick a little it’s ready for me. The people Cambodia before go to party they are need to put makeup.

This is a picture at 2008 when I married (not @JustinParke)

They are makeup my face, have some people don’t recognize me haha. This is really the story in my life. I never angry with them because I know they care about me but sometimes I feeling to tired to hear question the same.

The pictures not clear because is scan from the old pictures. I just want to show my pictures makeup and not makeup. I am sorry before if you all don’t understand my English 😁🙏🏻.

Thanks @Sreypov for posting in the ASEAN Hive Community. An obsession with white skin has been a plague in Southeast Asia for far too long.

Haha, 😁 thank you so much for your kind words ☺️ @thekittygirl 💕.

Very pretty old photos! You still look the same, very stubborn and naturally beautiful. Cannot remember you with makeup! Hahaha.

Yes, everybody said that when I makeup 🙈 haha. Thank you for kind words 😊❤️

Haha. You look like a lady in a beauty pageant, when you had makeup on your face!

Oh my God 😂 🤣 but now I am an old woman. Have a nice day dear😎

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to hear you are not adjusting to other people’s expectations. It takes courage though to do so sometimes.

Yes, I need to do it sometimes but I don't know to make myself, I need to have them help me. I know only lipstick lol 😂. Thank you very much😊
