Beauticians insist that they only help bleach facial hair, thus making the complexion appear fairer.

Dermatologists point out that one’s complexion is determined by the presence of the extent of melanin beneath the skin. One’s complexion tends to darken when one goes out in the sun because of melanin synthesis in sunlight. Melanin can not be permanently bleached, although the complexion can be considerably lightened for a short time by the regular use of fairness creams.

The result of survey regarding the usage of bleaching creams by women

90% of the women bleached for a fair complexion and only 10% of women bleached to camouflage superfluous hair.

Those between 13 years to 16 years bleach occasionally. Those between 16 to 40 years bleach actively. Those over 40 years of age bleach passively.

Some tips on bleaching

One should not bleach very often.
Once in a month should be fine.
Always conduct a patch test on the elbow when you use the product for the first time.
Do not bleach after a hot bath.
Leave the skin free to breath for 6 to 8 hours after bleaching. It is always best to bleach the skin at evening or in the night.
Use little less of ammonia crystals than recommended on the face. Use a little more of the crystals on your hands and legs.
If one feels a burning sensation, or there are allergy marks on the face, gently rub coconut oil on the affected area and wash it off with cold water, can do a gentle message with face powder for 10 to 15 minutes and leave it on the face. One can rub ice over the effected allergic area for 10 to 15 minutes or little longer till the reaction subsides.
