Paris Jackson wants people to leave her skin just as it is.
The 19-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson reached out to her fans to thank them for their photo edits of her, but had one request: keep her skin tone natural.
"I appreciate everything y'all make for me, I enjoy every single edit I see," the biracial model and actress tweeted Wednesday. "But please stop lightening my skin to make me look more white. And please stop darkening my skin to make me look more mixed. I am what I am. I'm aware of what I look like and (I'm) finally happy with it."

Jackson has previously opened up about her self-esteem issues and the depression and anxiety that caused her to attempt suicide three times, the first when she was just 15 years old.
"Plenty of people think I'm ugly, and plenty of people don't," she told Rolling Stone last year. "But there's a moment when I'm modeling where I forget about my self-esteem issues and focus on what the photographer's telling me — and I feel pretty. And in that sense, it's selfish."

Her own father, the King of Pop himself, was ridiculed for years as his skin tone rapidly whitened. Jackson denied that he had undergone skin bleaching and instead credited his changing appearance to vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disease.
