INTRODUCTION
Obsession for fairness has been there for ever, it’s as old
as the civilization. Scenario today is not too different but has
only gone deep and far. "Fair, convent-educated, beautiful
bride wanted"-screams the matrimonial section of a reputed
newspaper or a magazine. The minds of the masses have been
interpellated with the bombardments of such 'ideological
apparatuses' for eons and most people in India hardly notice
anything grievously abnormal with statements like these.

fair and lovely- the only means of survival left for her in the
society.
While on the topic I just cant resist pointing out the fact
that some of our best actresses like the Late Smita Patil,
Shabana Azmi,Nanditha Das are all dusky women, arent they
beautiful. If you still dont agree then how about the
unquestionable Glam queen of Bollywood, the Ultimate
Rekha, she isnt the fairest(again as in skin color) of them all.
Even on the international scene Naomi Campbell, Janet
Jackson, Halle Berry....I can go on the list is endless of people
who have proved that Black is also beautiful.

Herbal Wave
Over the past couple of years, the herbal wave has been
sweeping the skin care segment. This Rs 300-crore segment is
perceived to be the hottest and the fastest growing. A slew of
companies launched herbal skin-care products. Players such
as Shehnaz Hussain have been in this segment for quite some
time. With the dawning of the potential of this segment,
players such as Boutique and Lotus Herbals, which operate in
the premium segment, have become more prominent. Existing
players too have expanded their range to include herbal
variants. For instance, Hindustan Lever recently introduced
the herbal version of its popular Fair & Lovely brand.

1). There are two target populations. The first is women in the
age group of 17-25 whose need to be fair is directly
proportional to their urge to get married. At this stage, they
are extremely vulnerable to suggestions from any source,
including ads, about products that would help make them fair.
The second target population is men - they should be made to
see the virtues of our cream using subliminal messages in our
ads. They would then support the use of our product and
sometimes maybe even suggest its use to their daughters and
wives.

and other pollutants can trigger the darkening reaction on our
skin. What we need is realization! Realization that color is

you more confident in 6 hours (maybe even lesser)
