skin-lightener
skin-lightener products are everywhere in this country and i've seen a lot of women using them. it's disgusting and i'm honestly saddened when i see these pasty orange-skinned women walking around. it's just not natural and it causes all types of skin and health problems as the stuff poisons them. if i see any of my sisters with that stuff, i will slap it out of their hands! how did lighter skin become the standard of beauty across the globe? the people here are so beautiful and they are ruining their gorgeous, flawless skin with these horrible chemicals.

Hi Jade,
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting! It is a very common thing in India too! Fair-skinned (wheatish complexion) is what is sought after in brides. So "whitening" products like "Fair & Lovely", etc are sold in huge numbers. I believe they are basically sunscreen lotions. But it is true that fair skin is valued more than a "fair" heart in marriage markets!
Krithika! how's it going? yeah, it is so sad. i actually had a discussion about it with some of the men here and of those that i talked to, they blamee it on the singers here. the singers have started using these products and so the young guys find the fairer sskin more beautiful. luckily the men that i talked to were against it and they know of the dangers of using the creme.
ReplyDelete:( i imagined it was just us crazy americans who did that.
