Clear skin is one of the most desirable things for a girl. Some people naturally have a good skin while others go to any lengths to achieve one. Good skin always makes one attractive and helps to raise self-confidence.  The radiance on the face is reflected in their personality.

However, many times clear skin is associated with fair skin complexion. People fail to differentiate between the two. A person with dark complexion can have good skin and person with fair skin tone will not always have clear skin. We all, at least once in our life, have experienced this discrimination.

I had a friend in school named Divya who always excelled in studies. Divya had a cousin sister who visited Divya’s place frequently. I could feel the discomfort Divya faced while she was with her. One day when I could no longer take this suspense, I asked her the reason. She told me that she was mocked at by her cousin because of her dark complexion. I felt terrible for her but could do nothing.

Although her cousin had pimples, she was considered to have better skin just because of her fair complexion. Whereas, Divya was blessed with a bright, beautiful skin which was always neglected and underestimated because of her little dark complexion. It is annoying to see such discrimination in the 21st century.
