Keeping this article in mind, it comes as a surprise that international reggae superstar Vybz Kartel has announced the launching of his new skin care line of products called \u2018OH.\u2019 The self proclaimed \u201cthe cake soap king\u2019s\u201d line include Vybz Skin Brightener, Vybz Body Brightener, Vybz Anti-Aging Moisturiser, Vybz Astringent, Vybz Soap and OH! \u2013 a men\u2019s cologne and women\u2019s perfume.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4234\" title=\"Vybz Kartel Ohh product\" src=\"https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/avibz-kartel-ohh-product.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/avibz-kartel-ohh-product.jpg 600w, https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/avibz-kartel-ohh-product-340x213.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While it might be hard for many of us to believe, Vybz Kartel indicated that his launching of this new line has been propelled by his success with using \u2018cake soap\u2019 – a skin brightening soap that is commonly used by many non-Europeans of darker complexions, seeking to lighten their skin tone.<\/p>\n<p>While many have long expressed outrage about Vybz Kartel\u2019s extreme appearance from his usage of \u2018cake soap,\u2019 his launching of this new line indicates that there is a market out there for the consumption of these products.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of this world for many of us is having autonomy over ourselves and our bodies.\u00a0 However, while not often visible, many of the decision we make are controlled by stronger forces not visible to us. Many of us have been conditioned to hate ourselves and appearances and are often informed both directly and indirectly that we are not beautiful. While you are free to do with your body as you choose, it is also important that we love ourselves \u2013 including those characteristics that make us who we are \u2013 such as our race, sex and culture.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"635\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fz8CIPAy76c\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"635\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CEj1KQTRfOk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our April-March 2011 Orijin Magazine issue we addressed the issue of skin bleaching in the Africa and the detrimental affects it can have.
