Today the beauty markets have enticed all women with all sorts of creams and lotions that make false promises saying it will help you get rid of suntan, face marks and black spots. However, to out beat this the most common thing you would hear in every beauty shop is a customer inquiring for a cream that will make her fair!

Impossible as it sounds to me, why cant one be proud of their natural color. Using fairness creams is not in any way going to help you become like Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif. To me creams like these is just a waste of money and more importantly waste of time.

When asked a few of my friends what they think on the benefits of fairness cream, they couldn't give me a positive answer which in a way did not take me by surprise. But, all they had to say was that fairness creams are 'useless, harmful and does not work'. Strong words indeed, for a woman to react on a beauty product!

A survey which was conducted recently found out that most women using this fairness creams had no opinions on the benefits of fairness creams which made me wonder why they are still using it, is is a psychological feeling of hope? A lady at the medical store really astonished me the other day. She had asked the chemist for a fairness cream and before her on the table he laid out about 5 products, confused and irritated, the lady further questioned the chemist which one would suit her skin tone. The chemist later replied that since she has a dark complexion it is necessary for her to take the stronger effective one. Happy and excited about what her results might be , she trotted away. After a span of 3 days we heard a shrill cry near the pharmacist store and thus it was that every same lady who stood there with a particular skin rash on her face due to the fairness cream. The shocked chemist did not how to react and thus after that day he did not sell this beauty product.

Therefore in my opinion and many women who agree with me have to say that there are no benefits of fairness cream what so ever. Do you personally think so, too?
