You are beautiful whether your skin is black or white
A bold move for a lighting lotion to come up with an ad that promotes and respect your choice if you want to stay dark or have a white skin (or vice versa). Because you are beautiful no matter what they say!
One would wonder why a skin whitening brand such as SkinWhite would dare to say that dark skin is beautiful. “It’s all about choice”, says Rachelle Layda, Marketing Manager for Whitening of Splash Corporation. “SkinWhite is a brand that empowers women to choose. A choice to define their own standard of beauty. If you choose to have dark skin, you are beautiful. If you choose to have white skin, you are just as beautiful. The choice is yours, and SkinWhite respects that choice”.
This inclusivity is refreshing and speak volumes, especially at a time when shaming and bullying is prevalent across social media. Bashers and haters abound online with no agenda but to shame in all forms and ways – body-shaming, hair-shaming, race-shaming, gender-shaming, and yes, also skin-shaming. “This is precisely the stigma that we wish to change. Skin color should not be about one being better than the other”, adds Pam Sulit, Splash Corporation’s VP for Marketing.
“White and dark are both beautiful.” confirms Rachel Villanueva, CreativeDirector of Petch & Partners, the creative agency that created this campaign for SkinWhite. Shecontinues, “It’s about time that dark skin and white skin get the same adoration and acknowledgment.”
There has never been an outright claim that DARK IS BEAUTIFUL. And for the statement to come from a skin whitening brand, it should be easy for others to follow suit. And for those who choose that WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL, there’s due acknowledgement that they’re simply taking control of their beauty too. And why not? Wear your skin, whichever way you choose. Because DARK OR WHITE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Yes, dark is beautiful! Proud morena here and peoud to be filipina also😊
Bata palang ako kayumanggi na talaga ang kulay ng balat ko. Lalo sa probinsya. Naku po, ang layo layo ng school namin. Nilalakad lang sa bukid ang daan. Pagka init init. Kaya lumaki ako panay panunukso. As teenager hiyang hiya ako. Kaya nung nagaka trabaho ko nahilig ko nun sa sabon at lotion na pampaputi. Kaso unti unti natanggap ko naman sya. Totally nag stop ako sa mga kaartehan ko nung pinag buntis ko si bunso year 2015. Hanggang ngayon hindi na talaga kasi nag breastfeeding kami. Pero masaya naman.
haysssttt… proud skin white lotion user here sana madagdagan pa ng ibang product.
True. Being dark or white is beautiful. Let us not forget that being good inside is the true meaning of beauty.
