I know this person. She uses different kinds of soaps, lotion, cream.deodorant,astringent and many other whitenings. She's not that dark, but I don't know why she was very obsessed in those things. I know she want whiter skin, but as far as I can see, her color doesn't change anyway even after using those products. I think she was jealous on her cousin who has a whiter complexion, and she wants to compete her because obviously that girl is prettier than her. hahaha!

I think to have a bit of a tan or colour on your skin makes you look healthy. To me, very pale people look like they are sick. I wouldnt put any of those bleaching products on my skin or my teeth.

Yes, i respect that. We people have different likes. Maybethe person i'm talking here likes to have whiter skin that's why she's making an extra effort to have the skin she wanted. For my side, I like my natural color. I am not that white and I am not that so dark also.

Maybe she doesn't feel pretty and that is why she is doing it. There are also some people that have to compete with someone else. I would hate to think on how much money she would spend on buying these products.

Sometimes it's really irritating when someone is competing to somebody. We have are own identity, we have different looks and I think we should be proud of that. And i agree that they're some people who doesn't feel pretty thats why they try to be someone they're not.
