Beautiful Doesn't Have to Be White

It cannot be denied that in society, the assumption is often found that the whiter the more beautiful.

Now it is widely heard from consumers who use skincare that there is a benchmark that white is beautiful. So even those with mercury are willing to be used for the sake of glowing and white.

In fact, each person genetically has a different skin type. For example, a person with brown skin will not be able to become as white as someone with less melanin.

In other words, well-groomed skin does not mean it has to be whiter.
