Selecting Your Skin Fairness Cream: the Do-s and Don’t-s

Skin fairness creams have been used in India for decades. With the right set of ingredients, a fair look whitening cream can not only make the skin lighter in complexion but also moisturise it for better suppleness.

Thanks to the increasing popularity of these creams, there are a number of brands available in the country. People shop for them online and through brick & mortar stores.

However, not all such products bring the benefits they claim about. It is good to understand which fairness lotion would actually bring the results that you desire. Here’s a list of do-s and don’t-s to remember while buying one:

The DO-s

Opt for the Fair Look fairness cream that has herbal compositionThe goodness of Indian ayurvedic and herbal products has been established through ages. Herbs and aromatic ingredients such as aloe vera, thyme, green tea, honey, rosewater and lemon peels are found in many homes. They are also used for hair and skin beauty regimens. Therefore, a fairness cream that was made with only natural ingredients is the best option for skin health and lighter complexion. Avoid any cream that is chemical based.

Choose the ones that can also address other skin problems

Your fairness cream or lotion should not be merely about fairer complexion. It should also help you avoid and treat common skin problems such as dryness, acne and age spots. What’s more, it should get absorbed by the skin fully and not leave oil on the treated area because greasy surface draws more dust making skin problems more severe. A fairness cream with the right balance of natural ingredients does not make the skin greasy.

Read product reviews and ask for recommendations online

You may be buying your fairness cream from the neighbourhood store or an online marketplace, do take time to read the reviews of the options you have. Check for experiences of people who have actually bought a particular product and if they will recommend it to others.

The DON’TS

Do not buy a cream that lacks GMP or equivalent certification

While buying your fair look face cream, ensure that it meets the standards set for manufacturers of beauty products. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification is a preferable stamp to look out for. You can visit the official website of Institute of Good Manufacturing Practices India® for further details on this certification.

Do not forget to check the complete listing of ingredients

Several fairness creams in the market claim to have organic ingredients but are they really organic? A product may contain two or three herbal elements but it may also be overloaded with several chemical compounds that cause more harm to the skin than the benefits provided by the organic ones mixed with them. The idea here is to check the complete list of ingredients and not merely the "key ingredients".

Do not use a cream that has been tested on animals Websites such as those of PETA and Cruelty Free Kitty provide lists of companies that test on animals and the ones that don’t. It is advisable to stay away from the creams that were tested on animals because firstly, it is a cruel practice, and secondly because animals have fur and a skin texture that is very different from humans. The results of a beauty product tested on them do not make any sense for your skin.

Take care of the points while shopping for fairness creams and other beauty products and you will buy a good one!
