The rise of the skin bleaching crisis: global perspectives
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate the global skin bleaching crisis, exploring its historical, cultural, psychological, and economic drivers that link lighter skin to beauty and opportunity, particularly among skin-of-color populations. They examine the prevalence of harmful agents used in skin bleaching, the associated health complications, and the inconsistent enforcement of regulatory measures. The review aims to outline comprehensive strategies across clinical, public health, regulatory, and sociocultural domains to effectively address this ongoing global health issue.
