Tara Sutaria or Ananya Pandey: The more natural beauty? - Page 4

Aww thank you! It's pretty difficult to care for though!

And that sounds like my sister, her hair was curly too when she was a baby and toddler but then it gradually straightened out.. curly hair looks always super cute on little kids/babies though!

Ahh that's even crazier then my what happened with my skin... mine's been rougly the same since I was like 14 or so now... changing foundations so many time wow that's peak!

Yeah maybe skin naturally lightening a bit as you get older is common in us Indians... And till now I had no idea de tanning was even a thing 😲!

But I do think it could be a good idea if your face and body look different colours... and after all it's not really changing your colour but actually bringing out your natural colour... so it's obviously much safer than bleaching and all that

I get irritated in wavy hair, so I can imagine ur plight! I think as we Indians reduce sun exposure this happens. And my cystic acne started clearing up so my complexion got cleared. I have only heard about detanning...they say its like laser but idk if it is there or no.

In case it is then I'd check the pros and cons before doing it. I am not a fan of gluthathione or kojic acid treatments. That reduces melanin apparently, so its a super risky treatment. Coz whenever I buy foundation its either too light (to match my body) or too dark (if I match my face). Tried in between shades also... doesn't work 😆

With curly hair it can look good if you condition regularly, use the correct shampoo, conditioner, gel/mousse/cream, use the right kind of comb/brush etc... but otherwise it just turns into a frizzy mess 😣... sometimes I just find it easier to just straighten as then it doesn’t require so much fuss 😂

But I don’t want to ruin my hair straightening it all the time, and the good results when you properly care for curly hair are worth it imo 😌

And yeah those types of treatments that actually remove melanin are awful, I heard somewhere that you can’t expose your skin to bright sunlight anymore if you get certain skin lightening treatments, and bad things happen to the skin if you do 😣

Many of the treatments are super dodgy I’ve heard, so it’s best to go for the most natural and least invasive one possible imo... I know of a woman who was constantly bullied by her in-laws for her complexion (which btw wasn’t even that dark) and so decided to get some sort of skin lightening treatment (actually don’t know what exactly it was to this day 😶) and it somehow resulted in her getting SEPSIS 😶😶

Thankfully the woman did recover fast enough, and btw she wasn’t even uneducated either, she was a qualified software engineer 🙃🙃

I would just go for de tanning if I was you tbh, options that actually alter the pigmentation, etc are way too risky imo

Tara.

Ananya's face just annoys me.

Tara is miles ahead in terms of beauty and hotness...❤️ Ananya looks a bit cartoonish.🤡

Just use good quality products and take care of ur hair! Hectic lives can generally take a toll on curly hair since its not the easiest to manage...you do need alot of time on hand 😆 even i stick to straightening if my waved behave weird lol. Normally they are like California beach waves but sometimes...irgh so frustrating!

Thank you for sharing your story!! Its really helpful! I am glad that the woman is okay. Gosh Indians can be so terrible about complexion. I've known this saas who used to chose her older bahu coz she was super fair (like the Kapoors)...but her younger bahu was the actual gorgeous one. She looked very similar to Deepika when DP had debuted, same caramel complexion and actual green eyes. But the saas would always say teri aankhein achi lagti agar tu gori hoti. Poor girl wore dark coloured lenses and only regained her confidence when her husband decided they should move out. India mein toh gorapan is the definition of beauty.

Mere khud ke saath hua hai. I was a tan child and have a fuller nose...abhi toh those mohalle wali aunties call me pretty or whatever, but as a child they'd always chose this one very fair girl over the rest of us who was average at best. Not trying to put that girl down but I hope you know what I am saying. My complexion defined my beauty. Surprisingly when a European had come to stay in our complex (I think she was on a work transfer visa or something), she found the rest of us stunning. Never made the fairest one feel bad...but I could see she was looking at our features, not complexion.

Skin lightening treatments that affect ur melanin levels can actually cause skin cancer. The follow up after those treatments is insane. Generally companies like Clinique have tan removal soaps for adult skin... I've heard that helps. Or else laser. I am thinking about it but nothing for certain. Coz quarantine mein indoors rehte hi clear ho gaya hai kaafi...in fact I think I have to go with a lighter foundation again 😂😂

Yesss exactly... I’m envious of girls with silky straight hair ngl... they can literally just do whatever they want with it whenever! And if they want to curl it that’s much easier for them than straightening is for wavy or curly haired girl likes us! 🙇🏽‍♀️😂

And yep unfortunately to many Indians fairness = beauty and beautiful = fair... And it would be unfair to say it’s just Indians or even just Desis! Literally all colonised countries have this ideal... from Africa to Korea to South America to the Caribbean... all seem to think lighter skin always looks better... I wonder if these people really think people like Alia and Parineeti look better than Priyanka Chopra or Rekha 😂😂 I wanna know how strong that colonised mindset is lmao 😭

And it’s a shame that girl’s saas made her wear contacts as light eyes on darker skin is beautifully striking imo... she sounds stunning and must have got lots of compliments once she moved abroad!

Yeah when we were younger relatives and stuff used to question I’m disappointed tones why me and my sister were wheatish when our parents are fair... so cringey 😣

But there’s pretty much no escaping cringey comments in this matter in desi society 😂... now that I’ve got lighter with age people are always like “What!?, you’re South Indian?! No wayyy you’re so fair” and they say it in a way making it clear they think fair is obviously superior to dark 😣😣

The history of colonisation has brainwashed literally most of the world into thinking like this sadly 😔

Didn’t know that such treatments could cause cancer too, but it makes sense because you’re not supposed to mess with your skin cells too much in any way...

Things like face washes should be absolutely fine, as they are not invasive at all, and Clinique is known to be good (never tried their products as they’re a bit too expensive haha)... laser should be fine too but it’s always best to triple check everything and research it properly before you put it near your skin!

And as for the story it’s alright, I just remember it every time anything skin care related is discussed as it’s like this mysterious horror story in our circle... as to what kind of shitty products caused a healthy woman to get hospitalised with sepsis 😶😶 And I doubt they would be anything extremely dodgy or cheap as she’s a software engineer and both her parents and in-laws are pretty wealthy 😶

We guessed she must have been taking some pills or injections or something for sure as a cream or face wash could most likely never cause that... but still no idea what it actually was!
