We have 'Fair and Lovely' soaps, creams for both men and women simply because fairness is a big deal in India and the obsession with a 'fair' skin tone is a widely accepted reality. It doesn’t matter if you are sisters, mother-daughter or husband and wife; a debate around who is fairer of all always comes up.

As disgusting, annoying and insensitive this may sound, but unfortunately, a fair complexion is something which is given a lot of importance and also made the basis to blatantly judgments.
