Most of Japanese people here, are crazy with whitening products. I have pretty olive brown skin, and sometimes I feel so uncomfortable when I go out to Japanese Spas which are full with Asian fair skin ladies, and they all look at me and they probably talking about my skin.
Maybe I'm just paranoid because I got many unpleasant respond here about my skin color.
Leony - you have such an beautiful olive complexion..I can't imagine anyone giving you an unpleasant response about your skin color. I just don't get it with skin color..why it's an issue in the first place. I am olive skinned, too, but quite fair, so when I was young I would lay out and tan myself to get darker. My dad, whose dutch-indonesian and dark skinned would just shake his head at me and smile. On the other hand, my girlfriend, from the Phillipines uses this skin bleaching stuff to make her skin whiter. I am so confused by this because her skin is so beautiful the way God made her.
I am finally at peace with my fair complexion...after all that bad sun exposure. People come in all different shapes and colors..there's beauty in all of us.
