Local Beauty

The stance on beauty and skin products is so very different here. Not different in a bad way, just different from Western views.

 Some examples I can think of:

- People want white skin and skin whitetening cream is readily avaliable in the local stores.

 - Umbrellas are a common sight too, not for the rain but for sun protection.  

 - The skin care product adverts around the malls are all showing excessively smiling Chinese people with flawless white skin, not tanned or bronzed like in Europe.  

- Also strange products for skin care are available, like silk cacoons as face cleaners.
