As a Chinese person (with stereotypical yellow skin) I went to Korea and was shocked that the foundation that was my skin tone was in the dark category shelf. There was a black woman asking for her shade and I remember the clerk telling her they don’t have her shade. I felt so sorry for her 😭 edit: i never compared anything to china? i’m just talking about my personal experiences.

It's interesting that Koreans born and living in Korea have way lighter skin shade than koreans in other countries. You can see that it's their beauty standards that makes them go the extra mile to look lighter than they actually are Edit: I agree that some environmental situations affect the way you look, but that doesn't change the fact that in korean standards the lighter = the better There are tons of tone up creams and products even surgeries for skin lightening in korea. Even their base makeup products are marketed to fair to light/medium shades and only a few brands include medium shades in their range.

So I'm Asian and considered to have light skin in the west. When I went to Korea I was considered tan, or definitely not bright/pale. Just looking at their foundation shade range, I often have to wear the darkest or close to the darkest shade available there and they usually label it "tan" or describe it to be for "dark" skin. Then in America I buy shades called warm ivory/vanilla, light sand, light beige, etc. Like, no wonder koreans want to get these injections. Their society is telling them they are dark even if they are not. And even if you are tan, there is nothing wrong with that.

I remember watching a documentary a long time ago that talked about beauty all around the world and what was considered beautiful/the best in each place and why. And in the Asian countries desire for light skin had to do with wealth. Because it meant you were rich enough to have a job that wasn't hardcore outdoor labor. So if you were darker that was automatically perceived as you were poor. So bleaching and other beauty and cosmetic products to lighten/hide dark skin were sought after. I found that sad. ☹

Hey beautiful youtube comment section ! I want to give you 2 tips I use for good healthy lighter skin: 1) Try every morning to rub an ice cube on your face for about 6 minutes around the mouth, cheek bones, under eyes, three times a week (it reduces wrinkles, acnee, pimples). 2) Try also two or three times a week a home-made face mask with a bit of yogurt, honey and dark skin banana. It has to be put for 20 minutes. Then wash you face with warm water. It makes your skin look so bright, soft, very moisturised. So voila ! Hope I helped. 😉🧡

It’s pretty crazy how in different places in the world, beauty is defined so differently. Over in the US, naturally I have super pale skin, and I remember being a kid and getting so burnt- but happy about it because it would fade to a tan. If I don’t have a tan, people think I’m sick, or I’ve been told I’m “more attractive” with a tan, and it’s ok to get a “little sun.” I fought with my pale skin for years, using fake tanners, the wrong shades of foundation, and thought my paleness made me ugly- that because other people pointed it out and made me feel inferior, there’s something wrong. And then some people in the world are bleaching their skin to be their version of conventionally beautiful? We have to start to love and accept ourselves for who we are... this is so sad.

My mother's cousin used to give me oral glutathione and this one cream in a sketchy container from ages 11-14. I hit puberty early and developed cystic acne at 11 and she gave me that cream and said it would help because dermatologists weren't recommending anything more than an antibiotic gel for my acne which didn't work. Don't know if the oral glutathione did anything but using that and the cream, my face and chest (where I had the acne) started to get lighter in uneven patches and it got so sensitive that even going out in the sun became so painful even with sunscreen and my own sweat would BURN. I immediately stopped it and it took 2.5 years for my skin tone to come back and normalise. Ironically enough, I went to the Netherlands for uni and everyone complimented me so much for my "natural bronzy glow". Moral of the story? Please learn to accept yourself because no one will appreciate you as much as you do yourself.

At this point it's not even ignorance or stupidity, I'm certain you would not bat an eye at coloursism even if it hit you like a truck.

Ok, so I got these injections for over a year and it made very little difference in my complexion. Granted, I was only getting it done once a week (maybe IU gets it everyday) and it was bundled with vitamin C and something called a Cinderella shot all in one procedure. It was administered from a standard IV bag with a vitamin C solution and then they use a syringe to collect the gluthatione and Cinderella shot from their vials and inject them into the IV bag. All in all the procedure takes 20 min on average and costs about $60 a pop when bought it bulk of a dozen or more. But in the last 6 months I have been taking a liposomal gluthatione supplement instead with the daily dose being 1500mg and costs $50 for a month’s supply and I’ve been getting results that are finally noticeable by others. It doesn’t necessarily “whiten” your skin but almost gives you a radiant glow because it’s helping rid your liver of toxins. So I went from spending $240 a month for a weekly injection that hardly made a difference to a daily supplement at $50 a month with noticeable results. I’d call that a win for saving a ton of money and time as well. Those weekly trips to the clinic were not convenient. Oh and another thing: and this is from someone who only got it done once a week. Depending on the nurse who administered it, I could sometimes be left badly bruised at the injection site. My arms started to look like a heroin addict’s after a while.

Trust me almost every countries in asia (and especially SEA because I'm from SEA) glorifies being fair/white 💀 imo I'm considered medium fair (my shade would usually be somewhere between #21 to #23) and my skin became dull once because of hormonal acne and my family members were being very judgy and annoying about it saying "what did u do to your face" "do u no longer use skincare?" bruh my skin is just skinning 💀 and i think the stress is not even helping with my acne

Also very popular in the Philippines but I've read there were only two studies about glutathione one in Thailand and the other in the Philippines. The results were not even that conclusive.

@Leanne Wesk Some people with less melanin look ashy and undead like. My point is that healthy skin and body creates the glow not the skin colour.
@eternal32412 жыл бұрын
@Leanne Wesk Hmm it's your personal racial preference and no black or brown person can loss their melanin and even if we apply such treatments without gaining grey undertone. It's better to accept our skin tone as it is and maintain a good routine to keep it glowy btw I have seen many dark skinned folks who glow from within so it's possible for us dark skinned folks to have a glow without applying these treatments.

It's an epidemic of looks and constant comparisons with others in one way or the other. There are a lot of cases where a person wants to look like their true selves but at the same time sometimes external aid is necessary. It takes an insane amount of self-actualization and psychological effort to feel comfortable in your own skin. The world of today is literally out to get people. Think too much about it and it's gonna zoom in on the tiniest imprefections and take away your peace of mind and confidence in an instant. One doesn't want to go overboard and one also dont wish to appear as a blob either. Balance is important!

Michael Jackson had vitiligo. I think he tried both darkening and eventually lightening to just even out his skin. I think he was mostly embarrassed about the obvious contrast.

Well, I’m korean and.. I want to say that we are changing too. Women are not obsessed with ‘white’ anymore, and many ppl are starting to love themselves as they are. Ever since, the cosmetic industry is changing too, for instance; there are more color variation of foundation before few years ago. I’m not quite sure if this could be read, or it may sound awkward to english speakers. But still, I just wanted to make sure of this thing. Hope who read this would have a good day :)

Okay. I know that the light skin trend in Asia (generally speaking) can get a bit toxic. But on the other hand, after growing up in a place where the norm is to be mildly tan and the objective is to get more tan, my confidence got a massive boost once I found out that there were places were pale skin like mine is valued.

This is all about psychology for generations / decades years now. People always aspire to achieve what they do not naturally possess. beauty standards are all about marketing and business. Asians ( most, as evidenced by the number of whitening products on the shelf) love white skin. Dark skin is considered unattractive or a sign of being exposed to sun/ poverty etc. While in the west the opposite is true. Since they are naturally white/ pale they go for tanning which makes them appear they went from vacation. They love sun kissed glow.

I get IV glutathione every month for health reasons and I could swear it has given me the ability to tan. I was always extremely fair skinned (irish) and now I have a yellow based tan. I know I am not making it up because I have had to by datker foundation for the first time in my life. I was always in the two lightest shades. Now I I'm in more of the light-medium category instead of fair or very fair. Before glutathione, I used to only burn or stay pale.

I remember my childhood when I was actually genuinely tanned because of school and I hated putting anything on my skin and just magically, my sister and mom never applied sunscreen and still never got tanned but I always did even when the Sun wasn't even there. My mom and sister used to tease me saying I am dark and it was purely out of teasing because every time I said oh I am not pretty maybe because I am darker than people and my mom would say, "I think you have lost your mind because first, you aren't dark. Second, it's the features that matter and not the tone of your skin." So eventually as I grew up, it all got clearer in my mind that wait a second! I am not dark it's just that other people in the world are just obsessed with white skin. And then I found myself loathing up in bronzers because brown made me feel so pretty. Now that wasn't right either and I understood that I don't know how to do makeup so I should stay away from it.

@@Angel-vb7bb Absolutely. Its weird how people never understand that the color of your skin depends on where you live not how you are or how you should be and such. It has more to do with the weather and atmosphere you live in. After genes, weather conditions are the second biggest factor.

This makes a lot of sense. I wondered why artists like iu have that fair porcelain complexion, because it looks like it took more than makeup to achieve that almost unnatural shade. I mean don’t get me wrong, I think it looks stunning on them, but this clears up my confusion. Also I’m assuming this procedure helps loop stars avoid that situation where their makeup doesn’t match their skin, since the standard is to be pale

The vitamin cocktails that are put in the gluta iv (i do drips) lets you absorb vitamins more efficiently and brightens your skin/makes you radiant/glowing (it will make you lighter but only if you do it 2x or 3x a week or so), it also helps with lessening your pimples and regulating your menstrual cycle. Some women also use it to increase their fertility-but idk if that's like 101% true.
