19. Bleaching/Skin lightening creams. They are extremely dangerous and may cause damage to ones skin that is irreversible. I've known friends who bleached and it looked like parts of their skin had literally been boiled off or they became darker in complexion due to damage. They tend to be sold a lot in countries in Africa and south east Asia. It's quite scary how easy they can also be found in Asian/African beauty stores in the states but are probably sold illegally. - stakedrivers
