Fairest of them all

Appeal of skin whitening puts Japan in cosmetics lead

In search of fairer skins, pale white complexions, so ironic that the scandinivians/ europeans would gladly trade their pale white skins anytime for a tanned brown look. I belong to the tan-preference clan.

  • in Taiwan, whitening things are also so popular and used much, also people are so scared from sun here, that they carry umbrellas 365 days a year, and wear long sleeve clothes during hot summer days. for me all it looks so funny! for many taiwanese, beauty means white skin, then being tan it means i am one ugly dude :).

  • all i can say is: 'HA!' whitening creams don't work on Chocolates like me =p (nor do sun-screens)

    So i just enjoy the sun as much as I can =D

    Better to have some colour than none at all ;)
