It's an interesting point. Because I have never heard a group of naturally darker people say they want to be darker. It only ever goes in one direction.
Theres another video about this chemical on this channel where the guy who used it has no pigment at all, he was totally the color "white" not just the race white😂
@@dayna6082 That's really interesting, thanks for the perspective! I grew up in a majority-black neighborhood and constantly heard my friends saying they wish they were light-skinned so that's what my comment was based on.
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. ☹
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. I’ve never seen a black person ask for foundation in china, this story is relevant to this scenario ffs
@@ludounknown384 it doesn't even fit korean people I watched a video of a korean girl saying they Shop at international markets or shops which are hard to find usually pricey
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.
That's why South Korean makeup companies are lacking shades of foundation to lighter to lightest especially Sk company like Laneige ( laneju) there always 4 light shades.
Korea’s higher up in longitude, and Koreans are diligent about skincare and suncare due to prevalence of melasma and sunspots. I live in a sunny southern state and even when my skincare regime doesn’t change, my skin gets lighter after staying a month in Korea because the sun isn’t as strong there.
Bronze was only a flex when the baseline was already white, meant they had money to travel, and the social climbers just copied for status. Now you see the woke girls talking colorism on social media, but most of them are already pale enough that regardless of their words, its just a flex.
Well both ways it’s a flex on wealth isn’t it. In the west a tan means you were out on vacation instead of wasting away in a white collar job. In the east being pale meant you were sitting around at home instead of wasting away in the fields.
@@TumblinWeeds not always , in the past pale skin was consider that you are rich , dont need to work or have people making shadow for you :) but beauty standarts always change
Dark skinned girl with golden undertones here... when the sun hits my skin, I look like the love child of gold and the sun's reflection on the ocean, on a warm summer's day. I'm happy with this👌🏾There is more to beauty than paleness.
Yesss babe we are the golden people, children of god and happily in love wth my brown golden skin all dark golden beautiful tones!!! Folks won't get it until they embrace what is true...I can't submit to killing my spirit to obtain something I wasn't born with
A lots of Asians want to be paper white. I’m Asian and my relatives used to brought up how my skin isn’t beautiful bc I was born with a darker skin tone than them. This happened almost every family gathering when I was young.
I'm so sorry for everyone's experience with their parents and family! Those are the people that should be teaching you how amazing and valuable you are! You were made perfect and for a purpose just how you are!
Even if kpop idols don't do plastic surgery, they have intense skincare routines and facials and makeup done by professionals. No Kpop idol is a natural beauty. There is no natural beauty for someone who lives for the camera. Its not possible. Do not compare yourself to idols.
Ik very few kpop idols who haven't done ps and are pale even in their pre debut pics but they are like .1% smth so yeah. We shouldn't compare ourselves to celebrities anyway.
Welp I'm from South east asia... I wanted to have lighter skin... Why? I just really dislike my uneven skin tone.. like literally my inner skin..(skin cover mostly by my clothes) have lighter shade then the skin expose is tanned... As much as possible... I want all my skin lighter...
colonialism in the past by the westerner still affect us until now, eurocentric beauty is still the standard, i'm southeast Asian and a lot of Moms here when a baby was born the first thing they're paying attention to Is the skin color, it's just sad that *some of us* (especially some of parents) asians still have the mindset that white people are superrior just because of their skin color😥
yeah me too as a black and white person. it’s just depressing that people push stuff like this. the color of your skin, amount of melanin is completely natural and perfect
Don't worry my dude there will always be people who love dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate 🍫💖 Keep your character good, that's the most important thing, you know that a gross personality can't win long term
Honestly I would do this because wanna get rid of my hyperpigmentation . I’d probably look a bit lighter but it’s rather look lighter than patchy the way I am now
I feel so bad for Korean celebrities or celebrities in general. Being a darkskin girl, I’ve been told I was too dark. But my skin was one of the things I’ve always been proud of. Getting procedures to get lighter when their already pale? I feel so horrible for them
@@cheekymonkeygirl3378 do you have anything wrong with a beautiful black girl saying her opinion. Everyone here is saying how they feel but the moment a black girl is proud to say that she's black you immediately want to say " feel bad for yourself " . So you trying say that she must feel bad because she's black like wtf. Who raised you don't you know that dark skin black people are beautiful? Please . The freedom that be, is the freedom that exists
When I was a kid I was born tan. I used to get insecure in my skin complexion. As i get older. I'm loving my skin. After my US internship. I realized, I looked better in my tan skin. My skin is lightened a little now, not bc i applied some other stuff. I'ts bc i dont exposed my skin in the sun. I dont like UV rays bc its bad for the skin, tho i always use sunscreen. But still i want my tan skin back.
Same I used to be insecure about my tan skin cos I used to live in Asian but then I saw that all the American celebs had tan skin and it made me confident lmao
@@Rlrlrl1962 yes!! I was insecure abt it since in the ph the beauty standard was a fair or light skin tone but I always see some foreigners sitting under the sun just to make their skin tanned, it gave me the confidence since i naturally have it and made me realize that I don’t need to fit in those “asian standards” or any standards just so i could be beautiful, i am pretty the way i am now ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
Since you’re so dumb to be afraid of the sun ☀️ . . . I hope you’re getting you vitamin D from somewhere/something else. 🤔 Good luck when your bones hurt.
@@ecastcastill2736 I'm not dumb, Like you are. There's is a word called "PRECAUTION". I always went out during 6am-8 am bc during this time u can get Vit D without damaging skin. Plus i took some Vit D supplements. Going out from 10 am-4 pm will damage your skin bc of UV rays, bc during this time UV rays tend to be stronger.
Everyone says that IU is super natural, and everything, but this proves that pretty much every celeb has stuff done to them- whether it’s a k-pop idol, or a Hollywood actress/actor or models etc. It is portrayed as though they were born with it all, but in actuality, it isn’t so. So many people suffer from poor body image because of this. (P.S: no hate to IU, or any other celeb, it’s just that several of the fans or supporters just say stuff like this so, that’s y)
You know what , these people shows off their so far called beauty standard just by having cosmetic procedures done , and also them : “ love yourself “ .
I red someone said ' IU had done plastic surgery:. Then the comments were bashing upon her like ' No she hasn't done any she has very thin skin she cannot do that blah blah '. Dudeee then How can she wear 'thick stage makeup ' and have that pure glass skin????? Just give me a reason. (Note: stage makeup is always a thicker one than daily/everyday makeup)
Tbh I always think how iu can have very pale skin when she herself come from a difficult background. Not saying that's wrong, but I guess she do some job outside and that's definitely gonna make you lil bit tan
Yes exactly. Tbh most kpop idols have had some work done and that is COMPLETELY FINE, but denying it and saying that they're natural is just damaging not only to young people who look up to them, but also why lie? It's just petty. Kpop beauty standards are already pretty impossible but advertising it as something that can be achieved is ridiculous. I have no criticism against companies who ask their idols to undergo surgery or treatments, but just be honest about it because people aren't fucking stupid.
@@babysam3768 that is colorism which is pretty much around the world to countries conquered by Spanish. But at least we don’t have an industry to try to change that.
This is what Blackpink Lisa got done and her stans today still refuse to be believe it. Sis has gotten lighter over the years. I been noticed it. I don’t know why ppl believe this BS that YG doesn’t allow PS or cosmetic work. Yes I’m mentioning Lisa as an example obviously some other naturally tanner idols, actors probably did the same.
Truth no hate to lisa she was born with dark skin and suddenly she is white as milk but she was probably forced to do it by her company some Company's do that they tell the trainees thye can't debut until they do this
@@NAYEONiZ Most companies don’t force them and out of all companies YG isn’t one of those types. They are not gonna force PS or treatments on a trainee / idol. It’s almost always a suggestion or advice and it’s up to the person if they want to do it. Lisa knows lighter skin is desirable she may have felt pressured but it always her choice end of the day.
Yall need to calm down just like so many people use fake tan lotions and sunbathe to get darker skin tone ,on the other hand so many people want a brighter skin complexion, stop judging people and let people do whatever makes them feel comfortable.
damn I really forgot IU used to have slightly tan skin when she was younger because now she has snow white-like skin to the point i thought she was naturally very pale
Listen, to the person reading this. Your natural skin complexion is beautiful the way it is. Please don't consider changing it and putting yourself at risk just because of certain beauty standards and colorism. It's really not worth it. You are too precious!
I don't need anyone to tell me what colour my skin should be. I know for a fact that I'd look ten times better with fairer skin. I wish if I could get it.
We should be careful not to be biased on darker skintone compared to pale ones. It is exactly the same discrimination but just opposite way. Everyone has beauty in their own. We need to learn to respect each other more. Westernized beauty emphasizes on tanned skin and does not manufacture much pale foundation for palest people. Eastern beauty prefers pale skin that contrasts to their jet black sleek hair and black eyes. To Each Their Own.
Theres a difference in brightening and lightening. I actually thought they were same untill i read alot about it. Lightening face washes and all have bleaching agents while brightening doesnt. So lightening will actually make you a bit whiter. While brightening will retain your skin color and just hydrate it and moisturise
What lmao. Brightening is about exfoliation, removing dead skin cells so your skin goes from looking dull to...bright. Whitening products actually bleach your skin or tries to inhibit melanin production.
What they mean is that a lot of skin bleaching brands claim their products "brighten" skin when it's just a round about way of saying it bleaches or lightens your skin.
It’s called optics cuz they know people will go in uproar cuz white=bad these days In reality most products that “whiten” are just correcting your bad habits that caused you to get darker in the first place. Mainly thanks to improper sun protection
yall be like "it's the culture!" like there's some unspoken rule that you must accept the toxic parts of culture. Racism is racism, colorism is colorism. Stop framing it as tradition and culture.
@@EuriEuropa bro what wokism 💀💀 literally everyone would agree this is colorism. it shouldn't be normalised or brushed off as a 'cultural thing' like the original comment mentioned.
Just to bring up, my sister was rushed to the ICU from glutathione use. Her body did not react well and she could barely breathe. It's also sad, because her skin wasn't even that dark, but Asian beauty standards is so brutal.
It’s weird that Koreans do this to get lighter, but what’s even weirder is people getting hurt over the choice of a complete stranger… I didn’t look at this post and think, “ oh darn, in Korea they wanna get lighter, so I better do the same.” I also didn’t think, “Oh, Korea hates all POC because they wanna get lighter.” I mean people in the US tend to follow the lead of celebrities and influencers, and while I don’t live in Korea, this could be some beauty standard that has nothing to do with you as an individual.
As a dark skinned person living in india I don't blame anyone who do these things to get lighter complexion. Its really hard when people around you constantly look down on you just because you have dark skin ... I've cried every night because of this. And you think people don't actually do anything horrible, but my Arts teacher kicked me out from a group act without any reason and said to my friend that I'm too ugly to be on stage. It's just one horrible incident and stopped dancing after that. Imagine living in korea where beauty is considered as everything and also a celebrity...the pressure must be inevitable.
:( Im sure your skin is beautiful. Im living in a country where people tan and try to get dark, but I've also lived in a country where people do the opposite and look down on others, too. I hope you feel better soon and Im sorry people are like this.
I'm an Indian as well, O got severely tanned over the years and the it's disturbing how people taunt us for a darker skin it lowers down a person's self esteem and I'm even scared to even cross paths with such people
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. 😉🧡
I used to hate my skin colour and want to be more lighter because of society and all that stuffs but later I realised that every skin colour are beautiful and i accepted my skin colour and I love it so much!! I'm tan btw
Indeed. Every summer I get a tan the second I get out of my house, so I spend the summer having the lighter marks of my swimsuit or clothes. It's great my skin is so reactive, so I never had a sunburn, but damn it sure is ugly. But again, I take ugly over skin cancer anyday
When I started junior high, i used to spend half of my money to buy bleaching products. I hated how my tanned skin looks like. It's been 5 years from now, I stopped it finally and accepted my true skin color. Lucky to have it
Watching old Kdrama of IU from Dream High you can tell that, light tan is her natural skin color. I have always wondering why or how did she gotten so white lately. She looks good in tan skin color.
I’m a Korean American that gets tan really easily and I’m naturally darker and it sucks. Becuase Koreans are mostly pale/being pale is the beauty standard, no one thinks I’m Korean and when Korean ajummas get surprised when I speak to them, it kinda sucks haha Edit: I’m not hating on any other race?? I’m just saying that because of the unrealistic Asian beauty standards people just assume I’m not Korean because I’m not pale
The ajummas are the weird ones or they are doing it on purpose because all the Koreans I know are not milky white like the ones I see on TV Or maybe they haven't been to Korea in ages so they forgot what they look like
Koreans have yellow undertones to their skin (like all East asians) . They are tan most of the time. The pale Koreans you see like kpop celebs get all types of procedures done for them. Same with eyes and nose. This doctors is facts and I love that even though he is Asian, he is proud of his features and not afraid to call out any other Asians on getting plastic surgery. It’s just so toxic to Asian people with yellow undertones and flat noses and small eyes. They have beautiful unique features that are far from caucasians but that doesn’t matter, they should stay asian. Its so sad to see so many Asians get surgery.
yeah it's sad how most of pre debut photos idol are tan but when they debut, their skin becomes 10 times brighter... some idols remain with their skin tone but always made fun of :( such as exo kai & nct haechan
I honestly would want it for the health benefits. I have chronic health issues, and I stay inside alot due to pain. If this could lessen my pain, I'd be willing to do it. According to someone else who commented, and who used to get this procedure, the shot more brightens instead of whitens if that makes any sense lol. It stops the production of melanin, it does not destroy the melanin that is already there. However I don't know if I want to take the chance, so it is a toss up.
I was born quite fair, exactly like my mom who is even fairer than me, I was praised a lot for being pretty because as you know Asians are obsessed with lighter skin and I thought because of that darker skinned people weren't as pretty and I used to laugh along with my family when my aunt was the butt of jokes because she had a darker complexion. I'm glad I matured pretty early and don't have the same thinking that our Asian society want us to have, it's honestly very dumb and outdated and I hope this kind of thinking is disregarded and left behind.
I go to the med spa for IV drips when I feel a cold or flu coming on. I used to get sick for months but now it’s only days. I always add glutathione. It makes you feel amazing along with all the vitamins and hydration you get. I do have feel better and my skin feels healthy but I never noticed it “lightening” my skin.
Tanning used to be a trend in the 90s but Koreans as a people have always been fair, especially those who live on northern cities vs. the coastal southern cities. Many Koreans stopped tanning because of the damage to the skin.
I’m a very dark skinned American and I use it for cleaning my liver and blood. In conjunction with Vitamin C. Then I take B12 shot the next week. It brightens but doesn’t lighten my skin.
If u expose ur skin under the sun ur skin won't get lighter I worked in modelling and I was required to go for that to have more lighter skin since it is required in my job here in Philippines and yes it can lighten to whiten but if u go to the sun then just expect the brightens and not lightens.
@@mattydudak5250 honestly its kinda sad that its a requirement. I would have loved to see diversity in our media, since I find that our beauty is in our differences. All the models and celebrities I see nowadays are pale with eurocentric features. I dunno I just kinda feel sad for my young and beautifully tanned cousins who look up to them and are often told to bleach their skin, not just by their peers but also by our relatives.
As someone from Ireland and regularly visits Scandinavia where the fairest people are. This is so bizarre to me. Asians have a yellowish tinge to their skin while us Europeans have a whitish pink tinge.
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.
Girl, let me tell you something... a lot in beauty industry is booming not just injection or anything, anti aging in Asian region like SEA or East Asian industry just like skincare in South Korea example is top booming like everything so no suprise in these industries like skincare is booming.
In parts of the world it call the Cinderella drip but it's ban in Australia due to the fact it inhabitants the melanin production and make your skin more at risk for skincancer even with the use of sunblock and it may help your liver but it also puts stress on it because it pumping up the amount instead it occurring the right amount naturally
I am Kazakh and I have 2 skintones throughout the year. In one half of the year I am pale as paper, while in the other half I am really really tan, even if I don't go outside much. I have two foundations to fit my skintones. I can't say that I like my tan version, because my arms are much darker than the rest of my body no matter what I do and my face gets tan in wierd blobs, but this is my body and my skin, so I am dealing with this. Personally, I don't mind if idols or celebs are doing this procedure, but I definitely don't want to do it myself. Every celebrity on the TV has something done by PS and I don't see problem with it, cause this is what their industry demands them to do
Nope I am good as I am. Does having not a acquired and accepted level of fair skin makes me not an Asian or not me? Love yourself more. Society doesn't really matter you happiness 😊 comes first.
Certainly a very popular trend in Asia. I have friends in Manila (Philippines ) and have house calls for the gluthathione infusion. RN’s come to their home and get the infusions done.
That glutathione is huge in the PI ! Most brown pinoys have transitioned too pale skin , through out the years through glutathione injections. As a brown skinned natural tanned , Filipino . I am actually happy in my own skin . I never had any issues with skin color insecurities, even back when I was living in the mother land 16 yrs ago .
I find it so weird that white ppl never wear umbrellas for the sun, in Asia ppl have done it for so long XP I believe white ppl did had sun umbrellas in earlier times tho, maybe they just stopped caring about their skin?
@@user-no9im9px6e I think during the Victorian Era or Elizabethan era it was common for Europeans to use bonnets or umbrellas to protect against the sun but I think it has gone out of style since then
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
Gluta injection is so common in the Philippines. You can see too many cosmetic shops offering diff drips depending on the budget you have 😆 like 95% of the people who get theirs are only after the side effect (skin brightening/lightening) and not its actual use.
🙋🏻korean here :) a big reason light skin is a beauty standard goes back to our history. Higher socioeconomic classes did less physical work outside, and therfore tanned less. So the light skin standard originally was rooted in wanting to appear in a high econonic status. Edit: ig i wasnt clear. Im not trying to agree with classism or racism i was just sharing cultural history.
@@normab.9897 True. This is the mindset we had in the middle age in europe... but our current mindset isn't more healthy, since it encourages people to stay under the sun for hours to get a tan, while the sun rays are more and more damaging with each passing year (cause of climate change)
sis just spilled a historical fact and you guys saying it was colorism. i can't. you couldn't just compare what people back in the days to these days values. they ain't the same.
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.
It always surprises me how racist against dark skin most cultures are, even when they demand other cultures don’t discriminate against them, while they themselves discriminate their very own people.
@@nayjashah7368 It's always been due to class differences, both in Asia as well as outside of it. The tanned skin obsession the west currently has is their modern-day colorism as well, and that too, came about as a result of class differences
But I think this isn't the same as getting an artificial tan in the west. In asia it is more of a social standard than beauty. It has deep roots in history
This proves to us that you shouldn’t be worried about your skin complexion is. It’s okay to love yourself and not be involved with what’s “trending”. Ppl in the west want to be dark and ppl on the east want to be pale. Love yourself 💞
In the cosmetic field their job is to make you feel self conscious about the way you look so you get more procedures. If it not broke don't fix it you may regret it later on.
As a black dark skinned woman, everytime l see one of my african sisters who had her skin lightenned with this kind of products, l love my complexion even more .
I'm an African, well a north African woman who has a tan skin naturally, although I'm not black since most Moroccans aren't, I was insecure as a teenager because of the pressure I faced from my friends and complete adult strangers commenting on how "black" I was as if it was a bad thing, because of women like you, I have learned to embrace it and love it even more
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609Its so bizarre as an East African person to see people not like their skin colour. Africa is a pretty big continent and people who grow up in countries where their celebrities have darker skin dont have the same mindset. I notice the places with this complex have ALL their celebrities as super whte including the men! I mena darker skin helps you age better and now all these lighter skinned people who used to revel in how light they are are all aging worse. I am medium brown and I look almost 10 years younger than everyone around me as I dont live in Africa. People keep asking what I do and it’s literally the gift of melanin! I don’t understand why someone would not want to have darker skin. It’s absolutely beautiful! Maybe it’s because I watch content with beautiful darker skinned people?
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609Literally no one is “blk” in Africa. Thats a made up concept. Africa has the most genetic diversity. Skin colour isnt an identity but I understand North Africans have a negative relationship with the idea due to the propaganda/programming people have consumed. Its so bizarre as it sets yall up for beauty standards you cannot achieve. Its the trap many Asian countries have fallen into. Instead of changing the standard to fit their ethnic group, they use their resources to alter themselves with chemicals and even surgery! Youd think more development would create intellectual advancement and a shaking off of toxic ideology but no. Just more money to become plastic surgery hot spots. So sad especially since our ancient ancestors were brown skinned people. Its a really deep global sickness and a legacy that needs to be addressed.
As a super pale woman and growing up in the ghetto I wish I had darker skin. People never believed me when I said I was Hispanic. I was also targeted by classmates and looked at like an enemy by their darker parents. I was out casted for my skin tone and demonized as a child. Nobody offered me support, they assumed I had everything based on my skin alone. To hear it's a beauty standard is wild to me.
@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.
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.
@@omnoms2445 For Korea Japan and China it comes from self made colorism but places like India and the naturally darker Asians do have a lot to do with colonization also the big eye look so many be getting definitely have to do with white beauty standards and racism.
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’m naturally pale but,I just hate it whenever my mom would tell me “You should go get tanned, you look like sour cream” (honestly I feel insulted sometimes) what beauty standards I like and what beauty standards my mom likes are completely different...Seriously I generally like pale skin I find it beautiful meanwhile everyone surrounding me says the opposite. I understand it’s US,you know?(you probably don’t anyways) people in general like tan skin. But, I can’t stand how sometimes I would be made fun of,of my pale skin (I’m not even that pale)....Everyone has their own beauty standards and being fun of them is really disgusting and sad,ok? My bro would make fun of my weight and it’s painful being told in the face “Fatty” or “Ew,you’re fat”. I don’t think so we need beauty standards cause everyone is beautiful in their ways. And it’s quite sad how harsh beauty standards are in SK (South Korea) or in Asia in general. I hope people will come to terms that beauty is not as important as the person herself. Ain’t no body need no beautiful face with an ugly personality-
Please don't be sad you sure are beautiful im naturally tan but in my country pale skin is considered as beautiful these standards are just because people are not satisfied with what they have
I get that this can be considered colourism but also people shouldn’t be shaming others just because they would prefer to be lighter too like it works both ways
As a southeast asian, the people here are OBSESSED with lightening their skin. Which js so weird cause yall will do anything for a tan, but we just wanna look like porcelain dolls. 😂😂😂
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.
Im happy with my fair skin snd dark hair dark eyes complexion,and I think everyone should rock what they got no matter what the shade.My mom is much darker than me but has amazing skin still no wrinkles at 68 and that’s what matters is the health of our skin.
This is heartbreaking. Society and culture play a huge role when it comes to lightening/bleaching skin. As a brown hispanic, I was told that marrying white people is bettering the race. Have light skinned children, to improve the quality of our people. It really does damage the way people grow up, it's becoming a beauty standard that just doesn't seem healthy.
Back in the day women walked around with parasols especially rich women. To have a sunburn/tan meant you were poor and had to work outside in the hot sun. A lighter skin tone meant you were rich enough not to HAVE to go out in the sun. It was only after rich women going on vacations came back with a tan that it was then considered "rich" to have a tan especially in winter.
I understand wanting to be a bit brighter, as bright skin has a youthful glow...but lighter? Why on earth would anyone want to be lighter? It's a personal choice, and I support that. Why not love all skin tones, shades, different ethnic traits? We are all uniquely beautiful ❤
The look of Dr. Youn’s facial expressions in these vids is priceless - cracks me up . So entertaining & hilarious. I guess it must be a great stress reliever from the work that he does. Thankyou. Dr. Y....💛✨
Tanning doesn't get the same hate as lightening and nothing is more ducked up than that considering the fact u can get skin cancer and skin disease when years of exposure to sunlight plus ppl are okay darkening the skin but when they see videos about lightening the skin they be like "just love urself the way you are" loolz the hypocrisy is crazy!!!
Because iV injection is not the same as lighting cream. Too much and you need to keep up with the IV damages your organs thats why its nit good. Better use whiting cream. Tanning normaly in the shadow is ok with sunblocker you still will get tan.
Whenever people try pull the old "what about tanning" to make it seem like it's the same I am forever baffled by the ignorance that can only being willing. People with lighter skin do not lose out on job opportunities, are discriminated against, treated badly, and in a lot of cases at risk of being murdered, treated poorly by medical professionals for the sole reason that their skin is not pale. 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. It's like skinny people trying to compare their discrimination by saying it's the same as the one people who have obesity experience.
@@pearlcnrd Irish people left the chat. But if we talk seriously, then we should not ignore the fact that both whitening and tanning the skin are extremely unhealthy procedures enforced by stereotypes and toxic beauty standards. Colorism is usually applied to darker skinned Asians and Africans and is related more to race and ethnicity then to skin colour only. This, it's a complicated issue, but such unhealthy "beauty" practice as tanning should not be ignored just because somebody think it's not important enough.
Warning, I have a couple friends and family in Korea who have done this and a common side effect for women is that their periods come more often, about 2 times within a 4 week period. Just going to put this out there because it isn't talked about in many forums about K-Beauty that I have seen.
As a pale Chinese I don't understand why but I remember getting slightly tan cus I work with a lot of outdoor sports, I was told I became 'ugly' and I've seen darker skin ones that gets rlly light from Vitamin C drip etc and was a bit surprised on the beauty standards lol
@@nicolesmith4371 actually the number of studies done on glutathione are limited and so far we know that glutathione is a natural peptide found already in our body cells and it was called "the mother of antioxidants '' and doctors already recommend to increase the amount of food containing antioxidants so i guess yes glutathione is good for you , but here the issue is to take " daily overdose " of glutathione in order to achieve the skin bleaching or lightening results which we have no idea whether it will hurt our bodies on the long term or not 😀
i could never imagine hating my skin to the point of altering it that drastically. i’m white, so i know i’d already be considered “desirable” in some places, but damn that’s so heartbreaking
Only in Asia. And it’s just your color that is attractive. They don’t like the build, features, culture, morals and values of whites. That’s why they almost ALWAYS marry within their own race! The rest of the world likes tan skin including whites themselves but yeah always sad when someone doesn’t accept themselves.
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.
I think this is not so famous in korea cuz most koreans have light skin to medium tan. I even ask my sister in law about this but she didnt know there's a glutathione injection.

Theres another video about this chemical on this channel where the guy who used it has no pigment at all, he was totally the color "white" not just the race white😂
@@dayna6082 That's really interesting, thanks for the perspective! I grew up in a majority-black neighborhood and constantly heard my friends saying they wish they were light-skinned so that's what my comment was based on.
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.
Not just injection, beauty supplements too ( like collagen in pill but sometimes in powder)
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. ☹

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.
That's why South Korean makeup companies are lacking shades of foundation to lighter to lightest especially Sk company like Laneige ( laneju) there always 4 light shades.
Korea’s higher up in longitude, and Koreans are diligent about skincare and suncare due to prevalence of melasma and sunspots. I live in a sunny southern state and even when my skincare regime doesn’t change, my skin gets lighter after staying a month in Korea because the sun isn’t as strong there.
Is it permanent?
For real and I wasn't honestly curious about the injection since they say it improves health but I don't want to get lighter wtf
True. I have noticed most that Koreans born in Korea have lighter skin than Koreans born in other countries. You know in comparison.
I find it so interesting that some cultures want to tan and have bronzed complexions and others want to lighten them
Bronze was only a flex when the baseline was already white, meant they had money to travel, and the social climbers just copied for status. Now you see the woke girls talking colorism on social media, but most of them are already pale enough that regardless of their words, its just a flex.
Well both ways it’s a flex on wealth isn’t it. In the west a tan means you were out on vacation instead of wasting away in a white collar job. In the east being pale meant you were sitting around at home instead of wasting away in the fields.

Everyone says that IU is super natural, and everything, but this proves that pretty much every celeb has stuff done to them- whether it’s a k-pop idol, or a Hollywood actress/actor or models etc. It is portrayed as though they were born with it all, but in actuality, it isn’t so. So many people suffer from poor body image because of this. (P.S: no hate to IU, or any other celeb, it’s just that several of the fans or supporters just say stuff like this so, that’s y)
Yesss!
You know what , these people shows off their so far called beauty standard just by having cosmetic procedures done , and also them : “ love yourself “ .
I red someone said ' IU had done plastic surgery:. Then the comments were bashing upon her like ' No she hasn't done any she has very thin skin she cannot do that blah blah '.
Dudeee then How can she wear 'thick stage makeup ' and have that pure glass skin?????
Just give me a reason.
(Note: stage makeup is always a thicker one than daily/everyday makeup)
Tbh I always think how iu can have very pale skin when she herself come from a difficult background. Not saying that's wrong, but I guess she do some job outside and that's definitely gonna make you lil bit tan
Yes exactly. Tbh most kpop idols have had some work done and that is COMPLETELY FINE, but denying it and saying that they're natural is just damaging not only to young people who look up to them, but also why lie? It's just petty. Kpop beauty standards are already pretty impossible but advertising it as something that can be achieved is ridiculous. I have no criticism against companies who ask their idols to undergo surgery or treatments, but just be honest about it because people aren't fucking stupid.

We should be careful not to be biased on darker skintone compared to pale ones. It is exactly the same discrimination but just opposite way. Everyone has beauty in their own. We need to learn to respect each other more. Westernized beauty emphasizes on tanned skin and does not manufacture much pale foundation for palest people. Eastern beauty prefers pale skin that contrasts to their jet black sleek hair and black eyes. To Each Their Own.

"Brighten", the corporate word for "wighten"
Theres a difference in brightening and lightening. I actually thought they were same untill i read alot about it. Lightening face washes and all have bleaching agents while brightening doesnt. So lightening will actually make you a bit whiter. While brightening will retain your skin color and just hydrate it and moisturise
What lmao. Brightening is about exfoliation, removing dead skin cells so your skin goes from looking dull to...bright. Whitening products actually bleach your skin or tries to inhibit melanin production.
What they mean is that a lot of skin bleaching brands claim their products "brighten" skin when it's just a round about way of saying it bleaches or lightens your skin.
@@chirpsqueakmeow Asian collagen be like: uh uh

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.

I used to hate my skin colour and want to be more lighter because of society and all that stuffs but later I realised that every skin colour are beautiful and i accepted my skin colour and I love it so much!!
I'm tan btw
good thing I'm lazy to be too concerned about my appearance but rather love what i already have..
I just want a uniform skin all throughout, don't really care about the colour
Yes same. An even tone with a glow looks best in all races
Relatable...the glow and even skin is important more than the tone.
I agree. Healthy skin is what matters regardless of color.
Indeed. Every summer I get a tan the second I get out of my house, so I spend the summer having the lighter marks of my swimsuit or clothes. It's great my skin is so reactive, so I never had a sunburn, but damn it sure is ugly. But again, I take ugly over skin cancer anyday
Right! I have hyperpigmentation on random areas of my skin, it's so annoying.
When I started junior high, i used to spend half of my money to buy bleaching products. I hated how my tanned skin looks like. It's been 5 years from now, I stopped it finally and accepted my true skin color. Lucky to have it
And youre not spending all that money!!! Its a win-win situation. youre gorgeous as you are

I’m a Korean American that gets tan really easily and I’m naturally darker and it sucks. Becuase Koreans are mostly pale/being pale is the beauty standard, no one thinks I’m Korean and when Korean ajummas get surprised when I speak to them, it kinda sucks haha

I think u are amazing the way u are
The ajummas are the weird ones or they are doing it on purpose because all the Koreans I know are not milky white like the ones I see on TV
Or maybe they haven't been to Korea in ages so they forgot what they look like
Koreans have yellow undertones to their skin (like all East asians) . They are tan most of the time. The pale Koreans you see like kpop celebs get all types of procedures done for them. Same with eyes and nose. This doctors is facts and I love that even though he is Asian, he is proud of his features and not afraid to call out any other Asians on getting plastic surgery. It’s just so toxic to Asian people with yellow undertones and flat noses and small eyes. They have beautiful unique features that are far from caucasians but that doesn’t matter, they should stay asian. Its so sad to see so many Asians get surgery.
Who cares tho besides ajumma, honestly? You are who you are, wear it proudly.

I'm glad I matured pretty early and don't have the same thinking that our Asian society want us to have, it's honestly very dumb and outdated and I hope this kind of thinking is disregarded and left behind.
Consider apologizing to your aunt and talking some sense in your family. Not joking doesn't end your part in the problem.
I go to the med spa for IV drips when I feel a cold or flu coming on. I used to get sick for months but now it’s only days. I always add glutathione. It makes you feel amazing along with all the vitamins and hydration you get. I do have feel better and my skin feels healthy but I never noticed it “lightening” my skin.
you have to overdose , whitening cuz its using its sideffect to whitning their skin
The original korean tan is way more attractive actually !!!!(based on old kdramas ppl.. they looked so attractive).
2010 be like their skin is gonna be light until now.
tanning was a big trend in korea in the 90’s they looked more attractive but its actually more harmful for the skin so its not worth it.
Tanning used to be a trend in the 90s but Koreans as a people have always been fair, especially those who live on northern cities vs. the coastal southern cities.
Many Koreans stopped tanning because of the damage to the skin.
Tan was popular during kpop 1st gen and that's definitely the best.
Ikr, now everyone walks around with their face 10 times lighter than their necks, sis is obvious you're not as light as you want to be
I’m a very dark skinned American and I use it for cleaning my liver and blood. In conjunction with Vitamin C. Then I take B12 shot the next week. It brightens but doesn’t lighten my skin.
Good to hear your feedback as a dark person myself. I was always scared of it. How frequent do you use it? Also how expensive is it? Thanx
If u expose ur skin under the sun ur skin won't get lighter I worked in modelling and I was required to go for that to have more lighter skin since it is required in my job here in Philippines and yes it can lighten to whiten but if u go to the sun then just expect the brightens and not lightens.
@@mattydudak5250 any side effects ?
@@nejmurat7730 I didn't experience any negative side effects but it really whitens my skin alot and even to my friends
@@mattydudak5250 honestly its kinda sad that its a requirement. I would have loved to see diversity in our media, since I find that our beauty is in our differences. All the models and celebrities I see nowadays are pale with eurocentric features. I dunno I just kinda feel sad for my young and beautifully tanned cousins who look up to them and are often told to bleach their skin, not just by their peers but also by our relatives.
As someone from Ireland and regularly visits Scandinavia where the fairest people are. This is so bizarre to me. Asians have a yellowish tinge to their skin while us Europeans have a whitish pink tinge.
Since i have a liver disease I learn about this n thought Oh Yessss my liver eill be forever healthy and brighten my skin...why not.
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.
Girl, let me tell you something... a lot in beauty industry is booming not just injection or anything, anti aging in Asian region like SEA or East Asian industry just like skincare in South Korea example is top booming like everything so no suprise in these industries like skincare is booming.
It's basically just beauty companies & the media looking for what most people don't have in a country, so that they could sell a lie to make money
@@iidentifyasjeffbezos Both of these mindsets have existed long before companies started selling products to cater to them.
Appreciate your fair skin.
Anything related to skin fairness brings back old, horrible memories.
In parts of the world it call the Cinderella drip but it's ban in Australia due to the fact it inhabitants the melanin production and make your skin more at risk for skincancer even with the use of sunblock and it may help your liver but it also puts stress on it because it pumping up the amount instead it occurring the right amount naturally
I am Kazakh and I have 2 skintones throughout the year. In one half of the year I am pale as paper, while in the other half I am really really tan, even if I don't go outside much. I have two foundations to fit my skintones. I can't say that I like my tan version, because my arms are much darker than the rest of my body no matter what I do and my face gets tan in wierd blobs, but this is my body and my skin, so I am dealing with this. Personally, I don't mind if idols or celebs are doing this procedure, but I definitely don't want to do it myself. Every celebrity on the TV has something done by PS and I don't see problem with it, cause this is what their industry demands them to do
Nope I am good as I am.
Does having not a acquired and accepted level of fair skin makes me not an Asian or not me? Love yourself more. Society doesn't really matter you happiness 😊 comes first.
I appreciate her using her makeup brush as a microphone
Certainly a very popular trend in Asia. I have friends in Manila (Philippines ) and have house calls for the gluthathione infusion. RN’s come to their home and get the infusions done.
That glutathione is huge in the PI ! Most brown pinoys have transitioned too pale skin , through out the years through glutathione injections. As a brown skinned natural tanned , Filipino . I am actually happy in my own skin . I never had any issues with skin color insecurities, even back when I was living in the mother land 16 yrs ago .
As a mozzarella white person I don't understand why anyone would have my skin, I get sunburns just by going out for 30min
I find it so weird that white ppl never wear umbrellas for the sun, in Asia ppl have done it for so long XP I believe white ppl did had sun umbrellas in earlier times tho, maybe they just stopped caring about their skin?
Im a very fair asian and don’t burn in the sun, just tan. I think some complexions are more prone to the sun damage
@@TheStitchWitchPodcast I'm European, and I basically am a cluster fuck of genes. In my family we don't tan, we just burn
@@gio9789 lol same.
@@user-no9im9px6e I think during the Victorian Era or Elizabethan era it was common for Europeans to use bonnets or umbrellas to protect against the sun but I think it has gone out of style since then
Mj had vitiligo and used make up to cover up the dark spots to even his skin tone out
@Leanne Wesk he did but then it got worse so he had to switch to lighter make up
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
Gluta injection is so common in the Philippines. You can see too many cosmetic shops offering diff drips depending on the budget you have 😆 like 95% of the people who get theirs are only after the side effect (skin brightening/lightening) and not its actual use.
Do they work?
As a white man that's horrifying
🙋🏻korean here :) a big reason light skin is a beauty standard goes back to our history. Higher socioeconomic classes did less physical work outside, and therfore tanned less. So the light skin standard originally was rooted in wanting to appear in a high econonic status.
Edit: ig i wasnt clear. Im not trying to agree with classism or racism i was just sharing cultural history.
It's an unhealthy mindset. We're now in the 21st century.
@@normab.9897 True. This is the mindset we had in the middle age in europe... but our current mindset isn't more healthy, since it encourages people to stay under the sun for hours to get a tan, while the sun rays are more and more damaging with each passing year (cause of climate change)
@@Aurorya agree, which also leads to skin cancer
Oh wow so colorism...?
sis just spilled a historical fact and you guys saying it was colorism. i can't. you couldn't just compare what people back in the days to these days values. they ain't the same.
I could’ve sworn the number one procedure was the Monolid to double eyelid surgery
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.
Which gluthathione supplement ...can u name the oral product
I just want to even out my tone😭 why does it have to take so looongg
takes months, update?
It always surprises me how racist against dark skin most cultures are, even when they demand other cultures don’t discriminate against them, while they themselves discriminate their very own people.
Yep. It’s prevalent in every community actually. Even whites now that I think about it….but they’re not as vocal.
It’s colorism, not racism, usually it is due to some cultural mindset or historical event (class differences as well)
@@shai2137 Nayja Shah said it's colorism not racism
@@nayjashah7368 It's always been due to class differences, both in Asia as well as outside of it. The tanned skin obsession the west currently has is their modern-day colorism as well, and that too, came about as a result of class differences
It's the result of colonialism
I am sure many Indian celebs have done it as well.. like Kajol. She has become so light skinned over the years.
Yes ! Also there aren't many dark skinned actresses 🥲
Even Filipino and Thai actresses too
Some are mixed with white also.
Some are mixed race.
But I think this isn't the same as getting an artificial tan in the west. In asia it is more of a social standard than beauty. It has deep roots in history
This proves to us that you shouldn’t be worried about your skin complexion is. It’s okay to love yourself and not be involved with what’s “trending”. Ppl in the west want to be dark and ppl on the east want to be pale. Love yourself 💞
In the cosmetic field their job is to make you feel self conscious about the way you look so you get more procedures. If it not broke don't fix it you may regret it later on.
As a black dark skinned woman, everytime l see one of my african sisters who had her skin lightenned with this kind of products, l love my complexion even more .
I'm an African, well a north African woman who has a tan skin naturally, although I'm not black since most Moroccans aren't, I was insecure as a teenager because of the pressure I faced from my friends and complete adult strangers commenting on how "black" I was as if it was a bad thing, because of women like you, I have learned to embrace it and love it even more
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609Its so bizarre as an East African person to see people not like their skin colour. Africa is a pretty big continent and people who grow up in countries where their celebrities have darker skin dont have the same mindset. I notice the places with this complex have ALL their celebrities as super whte including the men! I mena darker skin helps you age better and now all these lighter skinned people who used to revel in how light they are are all aging worse. I am medium brown and I look almost 10 years younger than everyone around me as I dont live in Africa. People keep asking what I do and it’s literally the gift of melanin! I don’t understand why someone would not want to have darker skin. It’s absolutely beautiful! Maybe it’s because I watch content with beautiful darker skinned people?
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609Literally no one is “blk” in Africa. Thats a made up concept. Africa has the most genetic diversity. Skin colour isnt an identity but I understand North Africans have a negative relationship with the idea due to the propaganda/programming people have consumed. Its so bizarre as it sets yall up for beauty standards you cannot achieve. Its the trap many Asian countries have fallen into. Instead of changing the standard to fit their ethnic group, they use their resources to alter themselves with chemicals and even surgery! Youd think more development would create intellectual advancement and a shaking off of toxic ideology but no. Just more money to become plastic surgery hot spots. So sad especially since our ancient ancestors were brown skinned people. Its a really deep global sickness and a legacy that needs to be addressed.
As a super pale woman and growing up in the ghetto I wish I had darker skin. People never believed me when I said I was Hispanic. I was also targeted by classmates and looked at like an enemy by their darker parents. I was out casted for my skin tone and demonized as a child. Nobody offered me support, they assumed I had everything based on my skin alone. To hear it's a beauty standard is wild to me.
ur skin tone is beautiful naturally to anyone who needs to hear this. u dont need to change anything for anyone.
probably a white person typing this lol
But I want too.
no
Just remember that not everyone is doing it for other people, I can guarantee you that 50% of the time they are doing it for themselves
But we want to
Idk why brighten up is used in such context. Why is our skin always considered dull? I always feel bad when people say it like that
@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.
@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.
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.
It mostly stems from being colonized by western countries.
@@omnoms2445 For Korea Japan and China it comes from self made colorism but places like India and the naturally darker Asians do have a lot to do with colonization also the big eye look so many be getting definitely have to do with white beauty standards and racism.
@@omnoms2445 this is only true for India and maybe some se Asian countries
@@omnoms2445 it mostly stems from light skin having been associated with having a lot of money since that meant you didn't have to work on the fields
It's not a " trend", it's a toxic and dangerous brainwashing brought on by colonization, racism and so called White " Supremacy"
.
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.
Love yourselves!!! Human skin and it’s shades are ALL beautiful!
I’m naturally pale but,I just hate it whenever my mom would tell me “You should go get tanned, you look like sour cream” (honestly I feel insulted sometimes) what beauty standards I like and what beauty standards my mom likes are completely different...Seriously I generally like pale skin I find it beautiful meanwhile everyone surrounding me says the opposite. I understand it’s US,you know?(you probably don’t anyways) people in general like tan skin. But, I can’t stand how sometimes I would be made fun of,of my pale skin (I’m not even that pale)....Everyone has their own beauty standards and being fun of them is really disgusting and sad,ok? My bro would make fun of my weight and it’s painful being told in the face “Fatty” or “Ew,you’re fat”. I don’t think so we need beauty standards cause everyone is beautiful in their ways. And it’s quite sad how harsh beauty standards are in SK (South Korea) or in Asia in general. I hope people will come to terms that beauty is not as important as the person herself. Ain’t no body need no beautiful face with an ugly personality-
It sad that these celebs & idols in SK pressured themselves.
It is alright you are pretty the way you are❤️🌸💕
Please don't be sad you sure are beautiful im naturally tan but in my country pale skin is considered as beautiful these standards are just because people are not satisfied with what they have
Oof, same. My family would sometimes pretend to get blinded by my pale legs. I'm pretty sure I would be considered tan by other people tho lol
There's nothing wrong with having lighter skin. I know alot of women who spent hours in the sun to get a tan and it just made them age faster.
Man, forget that. #MelaninPoppin and proud of it.
I get that this can be considered colourism but also people shouldn’t be shaming others just because they would prefer to be lighter too like it works both ways
As a southeast asian, the people here are OBSESSED with lightening their skin. Which js so weird cause yall will do anything for a tan, but we just wanna look like porcelain dolls. 😂😂😂
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.
For me, It's actually effective. It lightens my skin. ☺️
Can you pls share the brand name
is it permanent?
Im happy with my fair skin snd dark hair dark eyes complexion,and I think everyone should rock what they got no matter what the shade.My mom is much darker than me but has amazing skin still no wrinkles at 68 and that’s what matters is the health of our skin.
This is heartbreaking. Society and culture play a huge role when it comes to lightening/bleaching skin.
As a brown hispanic, I was told that marrying white people is bettering the race. Have light skinned children, to improve the quality of our people. It really does damage the way people grow up, it's becoming a beauty standard that just doesn't seem healthy.
How is it "bettering" the race when it's going to make yall not exist again by generations to come💀
Marrying whites improves any race. 😁
Same 🤣
I think Michael Jackson just had vitiligo instead
Why don’t you guys get disgusted when people get fake tan or spend sooo much to get tan 🤷🏿♀️
Tanning beds too.
@Lifesucks! Sodoesgoogle me too
I basically hate “TANNING”
It’s a person’s right to be whoever they wanna be
Back in the day women walked around with parasols especially rich women. To have a sunburn/tan meant you were poor and had to work outside in the hot sun. A lighter skin tone meant you were rich enough not to HAVE to go out in the sun. It was only after rich women going on vacations came back with a tan that it was then considered "rich" to have a tan especially in winter.
I understand wanting to be a bit brighter, as bright skin has a youthful glow...but lighter? Why on earth would anyone want to be lighter? It's a personal choice, and I support that. Why not love all skin tones, shades, different ethnic traits? We are all uniquely beautiful ❤
The look of Dr. Youn’s facial expressions in these vids is priceless - cracks me up . So entertaining & hilarious. I guess it must be a great stress reliever from the work that he does. Thankyou. Dr. Y....💛✨
I’m so distracted by the makeup brush she’s using as a mic 🤣
I wish dark skin came back in Asia... I loved how healthy people used to look
Is this why when you see some idols pre debut they have naturally tan skin. But the moment they debut it looks as if they dipped themselves in flour?
Tanning doesn't get the same hate as lightening and nothing is more ducked up than that considering the fact u can get skin cancer and skin disease when years of exposure to sunlight plus ppl are okay darkening the skin but when they see videos about lightening the skin they be like "just love urself the way you are" loolz the hypocrisy is crazy!!!
facts
Lol ikr FACTS. 😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Because iV injection is not the same as lighting cream. Too much and you need to keep up with the IV damages your organs thats why its nit good. Better use whiting cream. Tanning normaly in the shadow is ok with sunblocker you still will get tan.
Whenever people try pull the old "what about tanning" to make it seem like it's the same I am forever baffled by the ignorance that can only being willing.
People with lighter skin do not lose out on job opportunities, are discriminated against, treated badly, and in a lot of cases at risk of being murdered, treated poorly by medical professionals for the sole reason that their skin is not pale.
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.
It's like skinny people trying to compare their discrimination by saying it's the same as the one people who have obesity experience.
@@pearlcnrd Irish people left the chat.
But if we talk seriously, then we should not ignore the fact that both whitening and tanning the skin are extremely unhealthy procedures enforced by stereotypes and toxic beauty standards. Colorism is usually applied to darker skinned Asians and Africans and is related more to race and ethnicity then to skin colour only. This, it's a complicated issue, but such unhealthy "beauty" practice as tanning should not be ignored just because somebody think it's not important enough.
Warning, I have a couple friends and family in Korea who have done this and a common side effect for women is that their periods come more often, about 2 times within a 4 week period. Just going to put this out there because it isn't talked about in many forums about K-Beauty that I have seen.
Wow is this commun?
Does it have any other side effects?
As a pale Chinese I don't understand why but I remember getting slightly tan cus I work with a lot of outdoor sports, I was told I became 'ugly' and I've seen darker skin ones that gets rlly light from Vitamin C drip etc and was a bit surprised on the beauty standards lol

i could never imagine hating my skin to the point of altering it that drastically. i’m white, so i know i’d already be considered “desirable” in some places, but damn that’s so heartbreaking
Only in Asia. And it’s just your color that is attractive. They don’t like the build, features, culture, morals and values of whites. That’s why they almost ALWAYS marry within their own race! The rest of the world likes tan skin including whites themselves but yeah always sad when someone doesn’t accept themselves.
As a white scandinavian, i want this. My armpits get a lot of dark melanin pigments.
i am having a horrendous day so ive just been binging all your chillas art videos thank u so much man 😢
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.
There’s nothing wrong with having dark skin either.
@@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.
Nice to learn about these things!
Dr Youn will this treatment increases pre-mature hair greying? Afterall it will suppress melanin ultimately increasing greys?
I think this is not so famous in korea cuz most koreans have light skin to medium tan. I even ask my sister in law about this but she didnt know there's a glutathione injection.
