I am a Mediterranean woman and I also hate my tan skin. Palemaxxing is fully legit for women. Moids itt are just being contrarians pretending she looked better before when I can safely bet anything that she gets more attention as a pale skinned woman.
I have not used these Asian skin whitening products yet. But what I do to have lighter skin is I rarely go outside and put on lots of sunscreen as well as cover up everywhere when it's sunny, Asians have a lot of tricks for that.
I also buy foundation that is much lighter than my skin tone. As long as you don't fuck up the neck, it works.
Another thing you can do is avoid befriending girls with much lighter skin than you, they make you look dark. I used to be friends with a girl with very pale skin. I noticed how much darker I look next to her. Since then, I try to only take pictures with those who are around my skin tone or darker. That helps you look brighter, especially when you have makeup on.
