Papaya Kojic Soap for Skin Whitening

Tweet

As with many people of Asian descent, I have a culturally-influenced desire to have lighter skin. For those of you who aren't familiar with Asian culture, porcelain pale skin has been prized for thousands of years in East Asia. However, this is slowly changing due to Western influence and the prevalence of tanning in Western culture. Unfortunately for me, I've already had it ingrained in my head that pale equals beautiful. My skin is fairly light already, but it's become quite dark due to the summer sun and associated outdoor activities. So, I've embarked on a quest to try to reverse it as much as I can without damaging my skin or using harsh chemicals. After doing some research, I've found Papaya Kojic Soap from the brand Diana Stadler. It seems like a fairly natural way to go about this endeavor. And for those of you who have trouble grasping the idea of lightening skin - it's exactly the same as getting a tan or a spray tan, except the opposite. And it's probably healthier too since you're avoiding all those cancer-causing UV rays! Does anyone have any experience with this soap? What do you think about skin lightening in general? What do you think about skin tanning or spray tans?
