What is this? A bleached skin??? #Skincancerisreal.

Fairness creams have long been accused of being discriminatory and racist, but what is a lesser known fact about the million dollar industry is that they can land you with far more serious problems.
Most creams sold in the market are a dangerous cocktail of compounds like steroids, hydroquinone, and tretinoin; the long term use of which can lead to lethal health concerns likes permanent pigmentation, skin cancer, liver damage, mercury poisoning and others.

India has a thriving fairness industry and fairness creams are reportedly the most popular in the unfettered skin care market.
Yet, the formulations of these blitz products are shrouded in mystery and awareness of their hazardous effects is low.

While the stigma and the stereotypes they promote is a matter of concern, they are guilty of causing irreparable damage to the skin.

Bleaching products could also cause osteoporosis (loss of bone density), psychiatric manifestation and systemic hypertension among other ailments.The dermatologist said that bleaching products contain chemical agents that reduce the activities of the natural cell which protects the skin from the adverse effects of sunlight.

Easy guys...your skin color does not define you, your strength and courage will.
