Tonga Sees High Demand For Skin Whiteners
Bauline Burke, a beauty business owner in Tonga, stated that brightening creams are in high demand and are easy to find in stores and on Facebook Marketplace. She noted that most people in Tonga use these creams for whitening their faces and bodies. Burke added that the younger generation is primarily buying her products, which frequently sell out. A report by Alice Lollahere indicates that unconscious racial ideals and the historical elevation of whiteness influence interactions with darker-skinned people.
