skin color

[Yasmine]

i heard that girls get lighter and smoother skin during puberty. i think i look lighter than i was when i was a kid.

The hormones may be causing some other chemical to change the color of the pigments, I'm not 100% sure on that.
Other than that I can't think of any reason why wlse it wold get lighter.
As for smoother... who knows.
I guess the skin can get tighter with growth,
Which would cause it to be not as loose.
My skin tone stayed the same as did the texture,
So I wouldn't quote me on all of this.
