White? Wrong!

The ridiculous skin-whitening trend continues to grow.

A survey indicates 45% of Hong Kong women have used whitening cosmetic products. The reasons vary:

· 61% desire a youthful appearance.

· 50% want to lighten dark spots and hide wrinkles.

· 43% believe men prefer fair skin.

White skin makes you look younger and hides wrinkles, huh? Explain that to Judy Dench.

Even if you're successful in gaining a fairer complexion, your skin will return to its normal tone if you stop using the products.

You could save your money and go for a chemical peel, but look what that did for Michael Jackson. It's a slippery slope; once you head down that road there's no going back.

As for men who chase one skin-colour, who needs such shallow companionship? If he can't recognise your beauty (mind, soul and body), he's a loser.

Quit buying the magazine hype that white is right.

If that were true, why do so many Caucasian women (and not a few men) spend so much time and money trying to get a tan?
