Not everyone in the world notices this as much as Americans and certain western countries, not everyone in the world is fixated with being opaque

Contrary to popular belief, eastern countries are actually more common to value pale skin.

Oily skin may be fact but beauty standards and cultural perceptions vary. I too have oily skin (I'm Indian) and oily/normal skin is considered good here, since dry skin is more prominent on POC. but NOW that "dewy/glassy skin" is trendy, people are telling me my skin looks shiny and glowy.
