The great Aditi Mittal is someone whose tweets I really love to read. She’s smart, she’s sassy and she makes so much sense! Be it as her characters she often portrays in her stand-up comedy gigs- Dr. Lutchuke and Dolly Khurana or as the funniest ‘roaster‘ at the AIB Knockout, Mittal is an inspiration for girls across India. That’s why when she tweeted about her displeasure with fairness products and the harmful idea of ‘beauty’ such products like to promote, I had to write about it. Trust me, you’ll thank me for this!
Fair and Lovely has a BB cream. So they can sell you crappy regressive ideas about skin tone along with light coverage.

My fav is that fairness creams comes with their own accessory— shade card. Shade Card. Ye Nerolac nahin hai, shakal hai meri. — Aditi Mittal (@awryaditi) July 31, 2015

Now with Activated charcoal. KYA YAAR. Isse pehele deactivate karke dala hua tha kya? Activated Charcoal. — Aditi Mittal (@awryaditi) July 31, 2015
All the ingredients in these creams always have a verb/adjective attached to them. “Activated charcoal” “Sacred Lotus Extracts”

Kya hai “Sacred Lotus”? Is is a lotus that prays a lot? Does it know Gayatri mantra by heart? Then why are we killing it to put it in cream? — Aditi Mittal (@awryaditi) July 31, 2015
No one is saying you can’t sell your snake-oil. Arre uspe toh duniya kayakm hai. Par STOP attaching harmful things to the psyche of ppl.

Because obviously, while writing the Vedas and penning down epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat, these guys decided to make fairness creams.
Your skin colour is determined by melanin, which lies BELOW your skin. There isNO way to change that by rubbing things on it.
