 IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ONE TO BE FAIR?

Probably yes! No fairness means- no friends, no job, no marriage and this all means-no HAPPINESS.Is it really true or just the perception of the mind?

Companies dealing in Fairness/brightness creams, lotions, face washes, serums, soaps etc etc have eaten up half of the market and has done an incredible business of more than 3000 crores...

When most of us see before and after pictures 

we go crazy and want to look one of them. We get carried away easily. Who doesn’t want to look like a glowing bulb? Ask me.

Its not only women but men have also joined the bandwagon after John Abraham, Sharukh Khan and others have promoted fairness creams religiously on television and they even claim to give you fairness in just 10 days. 

There is this fairness cream company which challenges to give you fairness in just 5 days. So what is the truth? How can one change the color of skin in just 5 days? Come on I can’t even think of changing my wardrobe in 5 days... Let alone the skin color. I thought its all in your genes.

These fairness cream companies not only promise you to give glowing bulb like fairness but also promise to enhance your complexion, remove spots,discoloration and also nourish your skin.Seriously which fairness cream gives nourishment.

So how does one get attracted to Fairness creams? What is it actually that drives a person crazy to buy such products. Is it ingredients that are mentioned on it or is it a celebrity endorsing power or is it that inner desire to become fair.

WHAT DOES A FAIRNESS CREAM DO?

Fairness creams have strong bleaching agent that helps in lightening the skin and also they contain steroids that prevent skin from secreting Melanin which is a skin coloring pigment.

WHAT IS SKIN LIGHTENING?

Skin lightening or bleaching refer to the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by lessening the concentration of melanin. It’s a chemical process.

WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?

• Fairness creams contain Hydroquinone which is a strong bleaching agent but doctor advice not to use more than 2% of hydroquinone as it can be harmful for skin.

• They contain Licorice, Kojic Acid but even these drugs need some moderation.
