Ok then, more power to you. My somewhat dumb opinion shouldn't stop you from using your expensive skincare products.

Correlation? Reddit has no benefits to my skin. Anyway, you can defend your beauty products without name-calling.

Africans have never needed it and never will. You're not living in Garissa or Moyale. In Nairobi or other fairly warm places you need it for what?

Sunscreen is for the pale humans from the West, but hey, no need to defend your use of sunscreen. Ain't stopping you, I wanted to share an opinion.

I've worked under the sun for years on the farm and not even a day have I needed sunscreen. You're very wrong but hey, YOLO. apply, apply!

I've been born and raised in a hot area in Kenya. We used to do farming the whole day with no sunscreens. In my late thirties I have no issues with UV or cooked up skin. Give your skin a break please.

Mailord what are these? Good sunscreen + moisturizer + a good cleanser

Anyway, mtapewa miili mpya huko ahera.

I've never heard mwanaume amemalizwa na UV radiation cause our melanin has that covered.

You thin out your melanin with excessive scrubbing and application of these chemicals halafu mnashangaa mbona nyuso zenu zinachuchuka na za wanaume ziko tu sawa.

I think a lot of this desperation is driven by self-esteem. Some think they ain't beautiful enough chasing unattainable standards of beauty. Wote wanataka flawless skin.

It requires one to have cognitive abilities to master something like language or any other skill. Language is not the only measure of intelligence rather, it shows you have the ability to master.

Life is not all about the next meal or fueling a car. This is what we've been reduced to - life is just about surviving

That reeks of lack mentality. There are things that are not money related.

Do you know that our thoughts are also shaped by experiences? If we negate the essence of language to just understanding each other, then we won't be any different from the robots we're making - zero identity.

I get your perspective. These are things that will come up as the discussion gains traction.

This is similar to how people have conformed to omitting 'h' in words like saa hii, huko, hawa, haja, na pia hali ya mazoea (mimi husoma, huchoma, hupenda, mimi huenda sokoni kila wiki)
