Just as our idea of beauty has evolved over the years, so has its technology. Gone are the days when we had to attach leeches to our ears to drain blood from our face, use powder made from white lead, calcium carbonate and hydroxide (apparently, this combination can be deadly over time), or apply nightingale excrement on our faces just to appear fairer!

Now, we can just turn to professionally formulated and researched (thank god) lotions for our skin needs. Recently, we discovered that you can even get fairer skin in an instant! Yes, instant!

Vaseline launched Vaseline Instant Fair Lotion at the W Hotel and allowed all the guests to see just how effective the product is for themselves. We were amazed, but we were also beyond curious. How could a person get instantly fairer skin?

The answer lies in three special factors. The Microreflectors, which are responsible for making your skin look instantly fairer; vitamin B3, which is responsible for long term and healthy whitening, and triple sunscreens, which protect your skin against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.
