Why would anyone use skin bleaching / whitening products?

Reply:I think it's a case of you always want what you haven't got. Straight haired people want to curl it, wavy haired people buy straighteners. Personally I am always jealous of people with colour (I'm so white I'm practically blue!) because they look great in short skirts and pale legs just look terrible.

I am a short, overweight hispanic and it took years to get over my mad envy of my two half sisters, one of which is short %26amp; overweight like me, but they are both blonde %26amp; blue eyed.
