For instance, it is said that the Chinese want to have whiter skin because it is linked with higher social classes inside the Chinese society. From the Qin dynasty, there is this a social ranking in which scholars and officers were always on the top of the social class. What’s the characteristic of scholars or officers?They work indoors, not outdoors.
Dr. Margaret Hunter, head of the Sociology Department at Mills College, has seen the popularity of bleaching creams surge in recent years. “Skin bleaching is a growing phenomenon around the world and it’s becoming a bigger business,” she says.
“Now it’s a multi-billion dollar business and all the biggest cosmetic companies sell products that are supposed to lighten your skin.”
We are not here to judge the reasons someone may want to lighten their skin, it’s a personal choice. When I was a teenager I was always at the tanning booth because I thought tanned skin looked good.
Personally, I think it’s all about “how you wear it” (how you carry yourself), and if something gives you more confidence then I say go for it!
