you might not believe it but fairer skin,,, is IN from where i came from.TAn is a out.. a lot here use kojic soap for whitening.. i use it to remove my stretchmarks
For my special treat a few times a year I buy Origins Ginger Float. A tub is $25. It's a bubble bath but I use it in the shower. I love this stuff and it reminds me of my mother in law who died 5 years ago. She didn't use it but she was the first one who bought it for me and she was one of my all time favorite people. Regular eveyday: I love the Caress moroccan shower cream. Leaves my skin feeling like silk....and a huge thing of it is less than $5.
It's so weird to realize this, but I rarely use soap! I use gel in the shower and liquid antibacterial at the sink. On the odd occasion I do want soap, I pick up a bar of plain old Ivory.
