Asian women have this huge obsession with fair skin. And now the pursuit of fairer skin is no longer limited to the fairer of the sex. It would seem that men too have fell under the spell of numerous beauty products out there promising fairer and supple-looking skin.
A male customer came and ask for the literature of a new health drink containing pearl powder and marine collagen. Unfortunately, the product did not come with a 2-page long fine-print explanation of its properties. What's available is already printed on the box and the bottle and it offers limited information on just how the product delivers its promises: rejuvenates aging skin, prevents wrinkles and pigmentation and the ever-elusive skin whitening effect.
In the end, he did not buy the product. The reason: he's already on collagen supplement mainly for skin whitening properties and did not see any effect so far. In fact he is so well-informed that he mentioned the latest wonder in whitening products are those containing human growth hormone which guarantees visible whitening effect. I just nodded my head and mmm and ahhh at the right intervals, in passive agreement.
Vanity, Thy Name is Wo(Man)!
