Dear editor,
I traveled to Europe recently and was very surprised because many of women didn't wear makeup. In Korea, most women put on makeup every day.
Even some men use make up. It is ordinary for people to fix their makeup on the subway or bus. In summer, Korean people use a lot of sun cream.
According to a book, cosmetics are poison as they are chemicals, and can harm the skin in some cases.
The skin loses its recycling ability when people use cosmetics, and finally the skin may become dry and people may have to depend more on cosmetics. After reading the book, I stopped using too many cosmetics.
But I have one problem. My friends use make up so they look beautiful but I'm natural, so I look ugly. And my skin is dark so I want whitening. But in the book, the whitening cosmetic is the most harmful to the skin. To get good skin, what can I do?
