Skin whitening

Skin whitening is a process where you can use certain products, like creams and soaps, to make your skin color lighter than it is naturally. Some people choose to do this to make their skin tone more even, or to make it match the color of the rest of their body. It is important to be careful when using these products though, as some contain chemicals that can be harmful if used too often.
