Through advertisements, films and everyday life, women in India are constantly told that fairness equals beauty. Where did we get this idea? What does this do to women with dark skin? And where do we go from here?
This documentary was created as a student project by Anuja Premika, Desiree D’Souza and Neha Joshi, students of Masters of Arts in Mass Communication and Journalism, St. Francis College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad.

Im not too dark or too light, unlike my younger brother who is fair and my younger sister who is a tad darker.

I get constantly judged by em on my difference of skin tone to my siblings, hair, choices and interests and it's so frustrating.

Went from a happy and smart extrovert to an anxiety filled suicidal introvert at the ripe age of eleven. Never dared to like any guy after that. I'm probably gonna die single because of my trauma...

@kaytee789 3 года назад

People want things they dont have. In countries where dark is the standard "they" (corporations that make money from selling this products) make a a lot of money y pushing this ideas of how lighter is better so people buy this products to fit to whats considered as part of the beauty standards. In countries where standard is lighter they do the same but instead with Fake tanning products. As much as we want to stop this, the people behind the companies and those who allow this companies to promote this need to be stopped.

My mom too was panicking and asked me to do several processes to remove the tan because I was been told that I look like a girl from "Bihar" and not "Delhi". This was pretty offensive. But now I've completely accepted and calmed down of my present appearance. It's a truth that when your skin colour changes, you dont but but the worlds way of looking at you changes.

I was in football team of my school so tanning was something so natural to me...just bcoz her granddaughters are fair she come and say so...That really broke me at that moment..I was 14 at that time....I was even ashamed to tell anyone about this at that time and was feeling guilty like I did a crime.. My cousin she is a bit too dark so in my family everyone refers to her as kali mata ... while the one who is fair is called as a beauty.... I'm so done with it ... when so many people judges u ...it hurts

Honestly, India can only become better once people start accepting themselves for what they have and who they are. I can’t believe that there are men out there that request for only fair brides, without even considering personality and kindness. Honestly what matters the most is beauty on the inside, not the outside. This applies to everything, not just skin tone. I had a friend who was very overweight, and she barely had any friends. She would usually sit under a tree and read a book. I walked up to her, and bam 💥, we instantly became friends. She explained her situation to me, and I suddenly felt for her. She was truly a kind and beautiful girl, and I am so glad I became friends with her! Love yourself!

I'm Chinese, but I'm very tan. I grew up having my aunties and uncles saying, "You're so dark! Look at your cousins, they're so fair. Why are you so dark?" Growing up, I really disliked my skin tone. I even bought whitening/brightening sheet masks and used it every week. Of course, they didn't work. I eventually threw out the idea of being fair is beautiful and learned to love my skin colour. Unfortunately, this standard of beauty is prevalent all over Asia. Not just in India, but Japan, China, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, India, Vietnam etc. It needs to stop because there are young girls and women going to extreme lengths to whiten their skin tone.

If the majority of the companies sell products, for a wide variety of shade ranges, they lose the capital that they could achieve selling skin whitening treatments or skin tanning products, or at least make them buy more than one foundation to match their actual color. Of course they will gain more capital in a short time, commercializing with stuff of way more color options, but they obtain better money, selling products for long term and constant use, like the mentioned on the video.

The mom wanted us to recommend her daughter (who had perfect skin btw) a full skincare routine that would 'scrub away the darkness' and 'brighten her complexion'. The daughter was too young to understand skincare, but the mom kept on telling her how she needed the products because they would 'make her look white'. When I suggested a just basic moisturiser and cleanser for the girl the mom got upset. She started asking me repeatedly to show them a cleanser, scrub, moisturiser and face mask. She also wanted lemon in all of those products because of the vitamin C. I stood my ground and told them that there was nothing wrong with the girl's skin and that she was too young for a full on skincare routine anyway. The mom got angry and decided to speak with my manager who told her the same thing. I can't imagine what would it be like for the young girl to be criticised by her own mother like that. :((

@@aishwaryajayaraman1791 When society tells you that dark skin is a flaw, you will quote them as a way to say "my "flaws" as you so eloquently put it, are beautiful and I embrace them" sometimes the way people say one word is different. Black people use the n-word positively nowadays, but it's still offensive when people of other races say it because we have weaponised the word they used to tear us down, and now we can use it, but they can't. If you say "flaws" to show that you're neither scared, nor offended by their titles, the meaning will change. Don't always go on the defense... Take an attack and throw it right back.

Lol i was fairer than milk as a baby but as time passed, i grew darker and darker. When i was in 3rd standard, i took part in the fancy dress competition and dressed up as a fairy. My dialogues and acting were good so I won the first prize but when I came back to the class, everyone started teasing me. They called me "kaali pari" and some even said, "you did well but white just doesn't suit you. Needless to say I never took part in any dress up competition after that. Instead, I wished to be fair every day. I'd take my mom's foundation (she's fairer than me) and just put it all over my face even though I got scolded all the time for doing that. Even as i grew up, i wasn't chosen for visual arts just because i was dark and hence, "not pretty". I was so insecure that I'd purposefully ignore anyone saying mean things about my skin color. Like, not the "idc" type ignoring but the "i know what you're saying but I'm gonna pretend i didn't hear it because I don't wanna embarass myself in front of everyone" type. Once a girl was like, "tum itni kaali kyun ho?" and i pretended to not hear her even though I felt like crying. It was ridiculous. I'm not as dark or as fair now, I'm in the middle I can say but good thing now I know to love my skin despite whatever color it is. There was this girl who used to compare everyone's skin tones and and used to tell me how she's the "fairest person in class" as if anyone cares about that. She wouldn't even sit with darker people (idk how she's friends with me tbh). And I called her out on her bs. That was the first time I stood up against colorism and after that, I just never stopped.

@SaKura-il8op 3 года назад

For anyone that’s interested, here’s a little history lesson: In pre industrial revolution Europe’s beauty standards were actually pale white skin, because it meant that you didn’t have to work outside and could relax at home, meaning good societal and financial status. This even goes back to ancient Europe for example the Roman Empire, where pale skin was the beauty standard for women (interestingly for men it was the opposite; if a Roman man wasn’t tan, it meant that he was unmanly). This only changed during the industrial revolution in the 1850‘s, when traveling got a lot easier. Because the high society was able to spend their holidays in tropical countries, they now often got a lot tanner than the regular people. This changed tan skin from a symbol of poverty, to a symbol of wealth, which made it the new beauty standard.

This usually happens a lot in Asia. Here in my country. It's often the family members who encourage colourism. They would say "you shouldn't go out too much or your skin would turn dark" Or "we should buy you a whitening cream" And often give back handed compliments like "your pretty but your skin is too dark". And because of this it's often normalized. It goes the same way for body shaming too. Sadly this is the reality. Although I never really experienced the color shaming first hand bc I'm mixed.

I remembered my relatives laughing at me when I was a kid telling me I looked so tanned and dark after staying in the pool without shade for too long. I was upset and cried in the bathroom and I could barely even hold in the sadness I was feeling sitting on a bench around them. My grandma was upset and scolded me "Why did you swim for too long." "You shouldn't have went to the pool at all look at those kids they didn't swim in the pool and they're not tanned like you." "You're so dark now look at what you've done." My grandma tried to scrub my skin for a week to get rid of the tan (it was painful but I endured because I wanted my fair skin back or else my classmates would laugh at me). I think I was in kindergarten at that time. I'm more aware now and stuff about colorism and I support and comfort my friends that just because they have darker skin than me doesn't mean they're ugly it's natural and they are normal their "flaws" are normal and I love them either way.
