Islamabad, Pakistan - November 9, 2007 - Actress Maneesha Naghshineh in a recent interview publicly admitted that she has been using SW+SS skin whitening products to get over the preconceptions that were acting as an impediment to her career advancement.
"In Pakistan, the darker your skin, the lower your perceived status and caste" she said.
When she was first launching her career as an actress, she quickly realised that fair skin sells more that dark skin. The producers and directors were always selecting the light skinned actors and actresses over their dark skinned peers.
Skin whitening industry in Asian and African countries is booming, with a plethora of skin whitening products to select from.
Skin whitening in Asia has its origins in China and Japan, where white complexion was seen as noble and aristocratic. Those rich enough could afford to stay indoors, while peasants that had to work outdoors got a dark complexion. In Africa can be traced back to the time of the African slave trade. Light-skinned slaves were usually given preferential treatment compared to their dark-skinned peers.
Studies have shown that African American men prefer light-skinned partners. Similar studies have also shown a clear link between light skin and better economic and social status.
Manufacturers of "SW+SS" skin whitening products have released figures from a recent research showing that sales of skin whitening products worldwide have doubled during the past years due to the increase of safe skin whitening products, like l glutathione based skin whitening soaps and creams.
With the advent of safe skin whitening products in the market, maybe the future is bright after all.

An Honest Critique of Age Defying Skin Creams
By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009Have you ever read a critique of age defying skin creams that told you whether or not investing in the formulas would be a wise choice or not, but never really tells you why?

An age defying body cream is supposed to be designed to firm up your skin and eliminate wrinkles, but very few of the formulas on the market are developed using the ingredients that are necessary for making this happen. The bulk of the anti aging formulas being developed don’t contain ingredients that are so much as healthy, let alone compounds that will help you to become younger looking.

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009It is difficult for many of us to compare eye serums, because a lot of times people just don’t know what it is that a formula needs to contain in order to be effective. This is why most of us allow the cosmetics companies to advise us as to what it is that we need to buy through the various media sources that it influences. Listening to what they tell you is a very bad idea.
