Fairness Creams

The market is full of fairness creams.As a nation India is obsessed with fair skin--a english hangover of the British rule in India.The imp thing is do they HELP and second is do we need them to...

There can be no thought as child-like and innocent as applying cream to make the skin fair.The melanin cells responsible for colour of skin are embedded deeply and linked to our genetic DNA.Nothing much can change it. Dont let all the advertisers fool you !

The creams help in a different way. What can a person do if he/she is unhappy with the skin? There is a need to DO something for it. (This is what the cream-makers realise). So we buy the best of creams saying to ourselves that we will have better skins. However what happens is that soon enough we are satisfied that we are doing something and switch our focus to other things-new boyfriend,exams, kids, weight etc.External applications of these type have limited results.

There has been a lot of noise in the consumer awareness forums about the so called fairness creams. Women claim that the mad rush for fair skin is unfair to coloured people in general and women in particular.But nothing much has happened. Today we find even respectable brands talking about fairness.

Heres what actually helps on long term basis
