HOW TO DO BLEACHING ON OUR FACE ?  

Indian skin has high melanin content. You have to consider your skin colour and structure before bleaching it. Bleaching only adds aesthetic value and does not nourish the skin in any way.

If you want to bleach your skin then these are a few steps you can follow:


Choose a mild cream by checking for the ingredients on the box. Pay attention to the Hydroquinone content in your bleach.
The amount of Hydroquinone - the main ingredient in bleaching creams - should be no higher than 2%. Any cream that has a higher percentage could have negative effects on your skin.
In case of sensitive skin seven to eight minutes of bleach is sufficient.
No bleach, no matter how mild, should be left on for more than 10 minutes.
If you are a regular user, bleach your skin every three weeks and no sooner.

Dry Skin: Dry skin tends to be more sensitive and peels off easily. Use a thin film of moisturiser, which acts as a protective barrier and prevents further dryness. Use the bleach over this film and leave on for 10 minutes. Use half the amount of activator instead of as recommended; this will be gentle on your skin.

Oily Skin: Oily skin is not as sensitive as dry skin. Though prone to pimples and acne, oily skin is stronger than dry skin. While bleaching just avoid the pimple and acne areas and you will be fine.

Normal Skin: This skin type can be bleached normally. Remember to following the instructions carefully though.

Naturally Lighter
Natural products such as milk and lime if used directly on the skin or in home remedies are considered to be natural bleaches.

Using Milk

Take two teaspoons of besan and mix some milk in it.
Stir till it becomes a smooth paste with medium consistency.
Apply this on your face and leave on for 15 - 20 minutes.
Wash off with tepid water.
This mixture helps lighten and smoothen skin.

Using Lime
Lime is a natural bleach and can be used directly on your face.
Cut a lime in half and apply directly on your face.
Leave on for 5-10 minutes and wash off with tepid water.
This may cause your skin to itch. In case of itching wash off immediately.

Mix equal quantities of lime juice, glycerin and rose water. This lotion if applied to the face regularly at bed time is very useful in removing pimples, blackheads and other stains of the skin. It makes the skin soft, and can also be applied to other parts of the body (hands, feet etc.)

Hi,

My advise is that dont go for chemical bleaching as it is not good for skin. Instead try the below method,

•Take equal quantities of turmeric powder and wheat flour and make a paste with sesame oil. Apply it to the face to remove unwanted hair.

To restore your skin to the original color, try the below ones.

•Regular application of mint juice to the face helps to remove stains.
•Mix equal quantities of lime juice, glycerin and rose water. This lotion if applied to the face regularly at bed time is very useful in removing pimples, blackheads and other stains of the skin. It makes the skin soft, and can also be applied to other parts of the body (hands, feet etc.)
