Beauty & Vitiligo

So I watched something rather captivating today. I've always been fascinated with the extreme characteristics that sometimes happen as a result of genetic composition. I'm not a scientist, doctor or otherwise qualified position to offer any explanation as to how or why this stuff happens, but what I do have is excema, and that alone gives me enough of a reason to do research from time to time.

Today, I saw this. It's a condition called vitiligo, which basically causes depigmentation of the skin. I wouldn't dare say that I have vitiligo, but I know that [on my skin at least] excema outbreaks can cause skin discoloration and yes, it's frustrating.

I've watched a few videos on this today, and thought I'd share one with my fellow blogbots.

^ This, girls [& guys!] is just a friendly reminder that you're beautiful, regardless of what your skin looks like. Beauty isn't [**SHOULDN'T**] be measured skin-deep, and I love the statement this girl is making.

Easy homework for today: Love yourself for the skin you have (:
