I went to the store the other day to buy sunblock and made an interesting discovery. At least half of the lotions here are ‘whitening’ lotions. This seems completely ridiculous to me but considering how many self tanning products we have in the US, I guess we don’t have room to talk. Still the thought of spreading something akin to bleach on my body seems like a terrible idea. It just made me realize how crazy we can be about our looks. We want to be darker, they want to be lighter... Dr. Seuss was right.
Do the whitening lotions have sunblock in them also?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's more like some of the sunblocks also have whitening stuff in them... and some of the face and body lotions, deodorants, etc. As well as lotions that appear to be purely for whitening purposes. I found a normal sunblock though.
