I hate ads of fairness creams because these ads showing that a black person is not fair enough to be human. Generally in the fairness creams advertisement you see a girl is sad and not reaching her goal due to her black complexion and when she use fairness cream she gets everything whatever she wants. Many people using these creams because they wanted to be fair and they feel unconsciously that fair person are superior or their appearance is more desirable.

Here we see some truth behind fairness creams. According to most dermatologists only 20% fairness is possible from these creams not more than that. These creams block sun rays and prevent secretion of melanin but it cannot change a person’s natural skin colour. Our skin colour is determined by our race and genetic lineage which decides the amount and structure of melanin.

Fairness cream removes your upper layer of skin and below skin appears. It contains harmful bleaching agent such as hydroquinone. The percentage of hydroquinone should be between 3-4% but in most of the products the percentage is not mention so it may cause skin allergy and other problems. Hydroquinone does not bleach the skin but lightens it. It has been banned in some countries (France) due to fear of a cancer risk.

You should think before applying anything on your face because it represents you. It’s okay if applying cream on your face boosts your confidence but you just aware that it should be comfortable to your natural skin colour.

There are many natural things that make your skin clear just like you can use besan with lemon on your face. Lemon has power to clear the skin and dark marks. You can also apply milk or malai on your face. Consult your dermatologist before using any fairness cream.
