Skin Whitening Products And Treatments?

Coming from Singapore,there are plenty of skin whitening products.

For your information,Singapore is a majority Chinese country with a smaller percentage of Malays (that's my race),Indians and others such as Eurasians and Arabs.

Some of my friends are totally obsessed about having fairer skin and see it as a symbol of beauty. People with fair skin are envied.

I remember going into one shop here in Singapore which I believe comes from Korea that don't even cater products to people of darker skin tone.I was shocked!

During my travels,I met many white people saying how they wished they can have my skin colour.I remember saying I wish I have your skin colour!

I have olive skin.In my younger years,I too wished that I have fairer skin.Now,I can proudly say that I love my skin colour even if some people here don't agree!:)

Years ago, here in the United States, when everyone supposedly accepted a "white" standard of beauty, there were skin whitening products for sale as well, with advertising aimed at Black Americans.

Fortunately, we have moved beyond that.

Beauty has no one particular color or shade.
@DrWatson Hair weaves, hair straighteners and skin creams that claim to make skin “clearer” are still marketed in our magazines. We’ve not moved completely away from it.

@bijouxbroussard I had not realized that.
