    To either get lighter, to even skin tone, to remove tans, to smooth out their complexions etc. Its different reasons people use them.

    I use skin lightening products because I have a very uneven skin tone. My fore and cheeks are light while my mouth and chin area is dark and I have to wear foundation to even my fact out but now I am using skin lightening products for a more permantant solution. So far I have seen a little improvement using Diana Sadler products and Mary Kay even complexion essence.

    Ok..
    But I heard that people use it to get lighter hoping to be accepted by the society they live in..
    What do you think of that?
    Do you think people have more change of a good life or a good job when they have a lighter skin tone?

    No, I don't believe that. I have not experienced that myself and I am pretty dark(milk chocolate complexion), but I am also a model and considered very attractive. Everywhere I go people of all races (black white asian etc) tell me I am so beautiful. So when people who are dark tell me they feel unattractive, I think it has nothing to do with their color.
    In the US I don't think it is a big deal but in countries like India and some Asian countries they look down on people with darker skin which is sad.
    But I think for the most part people just want clearer, even and a glowing complexion so they use skin lighners to get rid of dull skin, spots, discoloration etc to reveal a more glowing clear complexion.
    In the same way, white people tan to get rid of pale, pink/yellow sickly looking complextion for a more golden glowing complextion.
