Aasif Khalifa applies a mask on Himesh Dhulab as part of a facial which used skin lightening products at the Pari Hair Salon in the Fordsburg suburb of Johannesburg on July 3, 2018. - Dhulab does the facial once a month and finds that it removes the dark circles under his eyes and the pigmentation from working in the sun a lot. Africa is experiencing a massive trend of skin bleaching, also called lightening or whitening, particularly in teenagers and young adults. The rich tend to opt for pricier registered products which are available in standard doses. Others are likely to buy creams, often bootleg concoctions mixed in the back streets, that may be dangerous and are blatantly sold in defiance of official bans or constraints. South Africa has banned skin bleaching products with high amounts of hydroquinine and mercury, urging people to "reject all colonial notions of beauty". (Photo by GULSHAN KHAN / AFP)
