Researchers have found a way to remove the black layer of skin on black people, according to a publication of the Moscow Faculty of Sciences.
With the help of a chemical, a layer of the skin becomes easy to peel off resulting in a whiter skin color for the person. The process actually is pretty simple, but based on the photos, it doesn't seem to be an all too pleasant of an experience.
The person who would undergo such a treatment will have to sit in a chemical bath for at least six hours. The chemical bath is a mixture including oxytane and benzodizephine, in addition to 50 grams per liter of water.
The layer of skin - which responsible for skin coloration - becomes easy to naturally pull off.
The laboratory that found the method also claims that 254 have already gone through the process. It also said that the Russian government could soon permit the reimbursement of the method.
Russian authorities say that the inception of this concept is of great significance to immigrants - in thousands - because they would feel "more integrated" in Russia once their skin coloration is similar to the "indigenous Russians."
This is "a strong point of view decried by the associations of human rights," according to Zon News.
Michael Jackson has been known to have a skin-color transition. By the time it was mid-ninties, Jackson was already milky white -- a far cry from the dark color he was sporting during his "Thriller" days.
According to Today I Found Out, Michael Jackson and his family claims that the King of Pop had a skin condition called vitiligo, which causes depigmentation of certain parts of the skin.
Vitiligo can result in white spots of a person's body, which is even more noticeable when the person naturally has a dark complexion, like Michael Jackson.
In fact, the skin condition is so rare that only one in approximately 250 people who suffer from the condition start seeing the manifestation between 10 to 30 years old.
