Wow -- the most ironic story of my life: it's not bad enough apparently to be filling my body with fatty foods through digestion, now I'm absorbing it through my skin.

That's right folks, I was putting lotion on this morning and started reading the label on the bottle. Curiosity concerning whitening creams often become paranoia since moving to Thailand. Asians love being white. They are obsessed with being white. I don't see why, but they are. Consequently, every lotion and cream tends to have some form of whitening in it.

Good news -- no whitening sneaked in without my knowing.

Bad news -- "this lotion is infused with a high concentration of fatty acids."




Epic fail.
