6 Reasons Why Fair Skin Is The Epitome Of Beauty. Who Cares About Brains And Personality?
Did you know fair-skinned people are mosquito repellent? Here are 6 benefits of being fair
Ah, the fair skin, the holy grail of all the (toxic) beauty standards, the beacon of social acceptance, the ultimate key in life to be successful (effortlessly of course). In a world of Instagram filters making us look perfect, I am so happy to discuss skin colors in the 21st century. Recently, actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna shared that once her 10-year-old daughter was made to feel inferior for not being as “fair-skinned” as her brother. And while she handled the situation by educating her for the better, there are better things you can do.
Considering that she is just 11-12 years old currently, this would be the perfect age to put the right ideas in a child’s mind which would be with them for the rest of their lives and change how they look at themselves. I am sure a lot of us have heard this from time to time, “Don’t go swimming, it will cause tanning,” or “Eat saffron, your baby will be fair.” So, today we’re going to dissect the “reasons” why you should abandon your perfectly lovely skin tone and join the illustrious ranks of…well, everyone else who was born fair-skinned. P.S.- Don’t show this to that entitled relative of yours!
1. You Can Join The Elite Club
Yes, you heard it right. You can be the one to join this amazing club of people who can ALWAYS find their foundation shades- in a world where people are trying for brands to make more foundation shades for people of different skin shades, you could be the one to promote the toxic beauty standards. Because fighting for equality is so 2020 right?
2. Your Self-Esteem Will Be At An All-Time High
If you are fair-skinned or aspiring to be one, you might not be able to help but feel privileged all the time because only fair people look beautiful. Beautiful people always have high self-esteem because who cares about other traumas of life if you are fair-skinned right?
3. Become A Human Highlighter!
Throw all the makeup that you own right out the window and embrace the natural, reflective colour of your fair skin. Blind oncoming traffic, confuse birds with your blinding glow. The world is your own!
4. Say Bye To Those Toxic Dark-Skinned Friends
Who needs friends when you have glowing kkin? Fair skin is so radiant, it practically repels people! Embrace a life of glorious solitude, because who needs friends when your complexion can light up your own room?
5. Invisibility to Mosquitoes
Did you know? Mosquitoes are less likely to bite fair-skinned people because their blood is too good.
6. Trend Chasing Will Stop
Why chase these changing and inclusive trends these days fair skin is always in style, and this trend never changes, right?
ICYMI, we’re just being sarcastic. We’re all about embracing your natural skin colour and ditching the toxic conditioning that urges you to look for skin-lightening products so you can be fair like everyone else *deadpans*.
