Precautions while using Bleaching
31. Wear sunscreen everyday
The sun is a major culprit when it comes to skin discoloration, dark spots and general signs of aging.Therefore, it is imperative that you protect your face from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen everyday.Simply by wearing sunscreen, you can protect your skin from becoming darker and prevent many of the skin problems associated with sun exposure, including skin cancer.You should wear a minimum of factor 30, and wear a hat to protect your face from direct sunlight. You should even wear sunscreen in winter, as harmful UV rays can penetrate clouds and cause damage, even if its not hot.
32. Use lemon
The citric acid contained in fresh lemon juice is an effective natural bleaching agent and can be used to brighten the complexion and to minimize discoloration and the appearance of dark spots.
33. Try yogurt and turmeric
Turmeric has been used in Indian skincare for hundreds of years, thanks to its smoothing, lightening, anti aging and anti inflammatory properties.
34. Try raw potato
Due to its high vitamin C content, the juice from potatoes is believed to work as a skin lightener. Vitamin C is used in many skin lightening products. To try it, simply cut a well washed potato in half, then rub the exposed flesh over the skin you wish to lighten. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes, then wash off.Cucumbers and tomatoes are believed to have similar skin lightening properties, as they also contain high quantities of vitamin C.
35. Natural skin bleaching
The natural means of skin bleaching are far better as they not only suitable for all kinds of skin but also ensure that the skin is not exposed to harmful chemicals contained in most of the commercial products. While the natural skin bleaching techniques may take a little longer to provide results they will certainly not put you into grief with skin irritations and rashes found so often when using commercial products.
36. Treating your skin without lightening cream
My personal recommendation would be The Body Shop tea tree blemish fade night lotion pictured right.I love using natural products on my skin and am a great fan of tea tree oil because of its anti bacterial as well as natural properties.It not only improves the appearance of blemished skin but also helps to prevent future blemishes. It also controls oiliness and is available at an affordable price.
37. General bleach tips
General Bleach Tips will help you to use these products appropriately and safely.
1. Use only in well ventilated rooms.
2. Wear rubber gloves.
3. Mix in small quantities. Bleach evaporates fairly quickly so mix only enough to use at once.
4. Do not overuse to avoid environmental harm. In other words, use to sanitize for instance, a cutting board after it has had raw meat on it, not just to do your regular cleaning.
5. Rinse everything well and air dry if possible.
6. If you are unsure if it is safe to bleach something, test it first in an inconspicuous place on the fabric. Dip a cotton swab in 1 part bleach to 2 parts warm water and dab the fabric. Let dry completely to see final results. If there is fading, do not use that bleach.
