Much ado about Skin whitening

A lot of people are trying to find answers to skin whitening on different blogs and websites. Searching for good advice, advertisements, or any sort of promise that will at least keep their hopes up. Every now and then, they'll stumble upon certain answers like.... "why change your complexion?", "Just love your own skin" or even "are you crazy... trying to be like Michael Jackson?". I say, we just let them be and let them follow what they want.



The thing about beauty, is that it is not defined by one culture but of many. Such that, in the western world people who have a good tanned skin are recognize as healthy, and beautiful. However in the east, white, pale skin is a thing of desire.



I think it's about complementing and accentuating physical features. In general caucasian features are complemented with a tanned skin, that it gives them a vibrant glow of life. Asian features on the other hand, becomes accentauted with a whiter skin, and this in turn is perceived as a "healthy glow".



To sum it up. If sum people wants to get a tan, and no one would care to judge them about it, then why should we judge people who wants to whiten their skin? All of us needs to feel accepted, and some to be even recognize. Different cultures have set a certain standard on how they define beauty, and there is absolutely nothing wrong wanting to become beautiful as we perceive it to be.
