FAIRNESS AND BEAUTY

Fairness has been a long-standing beauty standard in many cultures around the world

The idea that lighter skin is more beautiful and desirable has led to the proliferation of fairness beauty products, which promise to lighten skin and even out skin tone.

However, the promotion and use of these products have also been a source of controversy, particularly regarding issues of fairness and inclusivity.

Fairness beauty products are typically marketed towards individuals who have darker skin tones, particularly in countries with large populations of people with darker skin. These products are advertised as solutions to uneven skin tone, dark spots, and other skin blemishes, with the promise of giving the user a brighter, more even complexion.

However, the use of these products has come under scrutiny for promoting the idea that lighter skin is more beautiful and desirable, while darker skin is seen as less attractive.
