Bleaching is a process of using chemicals or other agents to remove tan from the skin. Some people use bleach to lighten the skin tone or make facial hair less visible.

Bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or benzoyl peroxide are sometimes used to treat acne, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria on the skin. These products must be used under the guidance of healthcare professionals, as they may cause skin irritation, rashes, dryness or other side effects if used incorrectly. Also, hydroquinone and alpha-arbutin can cause skin irritation, redness and itching if used wrongly or the concentration is too strong. They can make skin more sensitive to UV radiation, which can lead to sunburn or other damage. In addition, some people have skin irritation from chemicals used in bleaching products.

If you are considering bleaching your face, it’s important to read the description of the product you are using. It’s also a good idea to consult with a dermatologist or other healthcare professional to determine if skin bleaching is safe and appropriate for you, and to learn how to use these products safely and effectively.
