I used some whitening cream to get rid of the acne scars that I have and I ended up with a second degree chemical burn :o

even though my aunts is in the same position(people think shes dark and reject her based on her skin color)

Okay, that's all my research for beauty for today, am outta here! My thanks to those who pointed out the facts, that made me go and search for myself to know the truths behind the selling gimmicks of all beauty products. I guess I'll stick to arq-e-gulab, lemon and glyecerine, LOL!
Vitamins are added to cosmetics by manufacturers because foods containing vitamins A, D, E, K, and some of the B complex group are necessary in diets to maintain healthy skin and hair. But Stanley R. Milstein, Ph.D., associate director for FDA's cosmetics division, says the notion that skin can be nourished by a vitamin applied to its surface has not been proven clinically.
Aloe vera is a plant from the lily family whose anti-irritant properties have been recognized since before the days of Cleopatra. It is listed as an ingredient in many skin lotions, but it would take much more aloe vera than most products contain for the anti-irritant properties to work. A product that contains the 5 to 10 percent aloe vera necessary for the anti-irritant properties to be effective would send the price out of range for many consumers.
Human placenta is the nourishing lining of the womb (uterus), which is expelled after birth. When placental materials were first used as cosmetic ingredients in the 1940s, manufacturers promoted the products as providing beneficial hormonal effects such as stimulating tissue growth and removing wrinkles. (Although newborn infants emerge from the womb with wrinkled skin!)
Collegen (from young cows) is the protein substance found in connective tissue. (Connective tissue binds together and supports organs and other body structures.) A great deal of research has been done on the different types and uses for collagen. In cosmetics, collagen has a moisturizing effect. It is not water soluble, but it holds water. FDA says there is no convincing evidence that collagen can penetrate the skin and have an effect below the surface.
Glycolipid (a chemically combined form of fatty substance and carbohydrate) used in skin moisturizers. The raw material for glycolipid in cosmetics comes from cattle, oxen or swine brain cells or other nervous system tissues. Industry cosmetic scientists claim that the use of glycolipid in skin products results in a smoother skin surface and better moisture retention, effects that translate into marketing claims such as luminosity and ever-improving hydration. FDA has not evaluated the studies on which these claims are based.
The quest for sustained youth and beauty that sells cosmetics is age-old, though ingredients used to achieve that image may change. Shakespeare noted the same concern that keeps the cosmetic industry going when he said,
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
But he gave voice to another standard when he wrote,
To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.

I suggest we start a campaign for m-i-l's to be to recognise the beauty in brown desi girls. If Martin Luther King can do it.....
Re: Fair n Lovely/Stillman's/Bleach.. (merged threads)

Re: Fair n Lovely/Stillman's/Bleach.. (merged threads)
:) No matter what we say or how nicely and wisely we put it....fair skin does matter. When i was in school used to see a few girls with white pasty stuff on their faces and they were getting better skin color. I asked once and was told it is stillmens bleach cream. My bahbi who is very fair to begin with....uses it and i have seen it at the desi stores.
