the odds of being under the sun

I have accepted the fact that my skin color is not fair. I'm really dark skinned. I don't use ordinary soaps because i have always wanted to look lighter. Not that i hate my color, it's just that i want my skin to be toned all over. Just in time when i could see that the soap i'm using is taking effect - i'm going to the beach. My efforts of skin whitening would then be futile! It will take time to get my skin lighter but only a matter of hours to get it dark, really dark. But i really don't care. Being dark won't equal the amount of fun being under the sun...
