Hi ladies,
Here is a complete guide to skin bleaching that will help you get a better knowledge of bleaching and things attached to it!
What is skin bleaching?
It is a bleaching or whitening process in which you use a chemical agent to reduce blemishes, age spots, freckles, or other skin conditions. There are various bleach creams available in the market for bleaching skin at home. Although, the creams may or may not work for your skin.
Is bleaching completely safe?
This is not true. Bleaching isn’t always safe. Bleach contains sodium hypochlorite which can cause a chemical reaction on the skin and can lead to breakouts on the skin. Also, exposure to sunlight right after bleach causes skin irritation and skin pigmentation.
Does facial hair bleaching cause facial hair to grow longer?
That is untrue as facial hair bleaching happens on the upper skin level and not under the skin.
Will it make my skin fairer?
Bleach creams can help you get rid of the tan, pigmentation marks and blemishes on the skin but they can’t change your skin’s color. The bleaching effects are also temporary and not permanent.
Are the bleach effects permanent?
The effect of bleach is temporary and works only for a short duration of time. Our skin gets affected by various environmental factors and also our diet and the kind of lifestyle you have, bleaching only provides temporary effects.
What are the risks involved with bleaching?
It can lead to irritated skin. Skin layer can become thin over a period of with excessive bleaching. Bleaching can also lead to increase in pigmentation around eye area as eye area is quite sensitive as compared to the other areas of the face.
Is there a more natural option?
Oh yes there are so many natural ingredients or products which have the nearly same effect as of bleaching but minus the side-effects. Some of them are saffron, turmeric, yogurt, tomatoes and mulberries.
How often can I bleach?
Ideally if you do it regularly then you can bleach in 20-30 days. You will have lesser side effects in the long run and an even toned complexion too.
Mild bleach or strong bleach?
No matter what kind of skin you have, try to use milder bleach creams as they are not harsh on the skin. If you like to use stronger bleach formulas then try restricting it to once in 2 months.
Is patch test necessary?
Before using the product, do a patch test on your elbows and see if your skin reacts to the product! This comes from personal experience, I used the mildest fruit bleach on my skin without doing a patch test and my skin was swollen and developed rashes in minutes (that was the first time and last time of me using bleach on my skin). So always do a patch test first.
What are the Precautions after Use?
Do not apply anything on your skin right after bleaching. Also avoid washing your face with hot water for 6-8 hours after the treatment, and stay out of direct sunlight for at least 12-15 hours.
