Here s what you should know before using the jar of cream that promises to lighten your skin. Also, read this before you try any other hair removal technique.
Most bleaching creams contain the compound sodium hypochlorite that can lead to a chemical reaction on your skin. The bleaching creams also contain other harsh chemicals like calcium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, sodium percarbonate and dithionite, which if regularly applied, can make your skin susceptible to pigmentation. According to well-known dermatologist Dr Jaishree Sharad, you should bleach your skin once in six months. Avoid bleaching, if you have pigmentation, sensitive or dry and flaky skin. You may even contract dermatitis if you have sensitive skin or are allergic to bleach. To keep the skin issues at bay, you can use home remedies that will keep your skin glowing while improving your complexion.
