Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a girl named Lean who was mocked among her peers because of her dark complexion. She was belittled, judged, and shun upon because she was not "white" like all her other cousins and friends. She was different, and so she decided to make a change.
Senior year college, 2006. During this time, Lean had vowed never to go out of the house without sunscreen. She vowed never to expose her face, arms, or legs to the sun. "The sun is evil," she would say. She used different skin-whitening products---lotions, sunscreen, soap, night creams, facial cleansers and washes, and the list goes on. She was never satisfied.
Between September 2007 to May 2008. She gave birth and suffered even more because her skin became dry and the color (especially on her face) became uneven. It was devastating! One day, while sorrowfully walking along the aisles and aisles of beauty products at a local pharmacy (slash toiletries) store, she stumbled upon an amazing, eye-catching product: SkinWhite Face Cream Powder. Why, of course! Like a hopeless romantic finding a love potion in the depths of a tropical jungle, Lean grabbed the product and immediately applied it all over her face. And yey, mirror, mirror on the wall, she became the fairest one of all.
