Crazy post
My Wife was always the darkest (she and her family tell me) while still in phill she bpought this lotion from a local clinic which made her paler it was a kind of sun block and i guess mild bleach. While waiting for her visa and all the stress of moving country she developed a mild rash which got worse and worse. She brought this hugggeee tub of lotion with her to UK.
When it began to run out she started with my help (i researched on web) we looked for sunblock.
Once she stopped using the lotion lo and behold the rash went.
She now only uses strong sun block and exfoliate her skin ( i think thats the right term?)
Her skin is now commented on by her friends and customers as being so nice.
The Vitamin D issue is a big one in Asian and other communties where ladies cover up and avoid sun.
Young Indian female friends at work were involved a few years back in a group to educate women on the dangers of doing this.
The Wife took out oddles of posh sunblock for family and friends they all think its the best thing since Balut
Thanks for bringing up a topic which is a very important one which hardly gets mentioned.
