A person's skin color is determined by the amount of melanin in his or her skin. Melanin is a dark brown to black pigment produced by special cells called melanocytes. Melanin's purpose is to protect the skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.
Ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancer. Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen by absorbing these UV rays. The more melanin your skin has, the darker your skin will be and the more protection it will have against UV rays. https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-are-people-all-different-colors
Morena
"Morena is beautiful". Sadly, our society teaches that dark skin is less attractive. Thankful for these lovely ladies who proved society wrong. They are beautiful and so they're color.
In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, people with brown skin tend to appear younger than do people with light skin. https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantages-of-having-brown-skin-over-light-skin



LIGHTER SKIN
Filipino have dark skin, but maybe because of the invaders like Spanish, American, Japanese, etc., some Filipino has lighter skin.


We always want to be beautiful in the eyes of people surround us. But the real beauty is not only from the outside, it is from the inside.
