The Bright Side: Safe Skin Brightening After a Very Dark Past
The language we use in skincare matters. In this episode, I explore the complex history of “whitening” products, their harmful legacy, and how modern science is reshaping the conversation.
We’ll talk about what whitening, lightening, and brightening really mean, why these words are more than just marketing, and how we can move towards a future that celebrates healthy, radiant skin without harmful practices. If you’ve ever wondered whether brightening creams are safe, what’s behind the terms, or how to protect your skin from pigmentation issues, this episode is for you.
👉 This is part two of last week’s episode on pigmentation, where I take you deeper into the fascinating world of skin lightening and brightening, from its complicated past to what the future holds.
