Is bleaching of facial skin good?
-
Hello, I am 25 years old. I have a dusky complexion. I very often loose my confidence due to this. My friend's wedding is knocking at the door. I am thinking of a make over of mine for that reason. I want to look bright and fair. My friends are advising me for bleaching of facial skin. This will brighten my skin and I will look good also. Though I am convinced my mother told me not do this at all. Please let me know Is bleaching of facial skin good or not.

@satwika Skin bleaching refers to the use of products to lighten dark areas of the skin or achieve an overall lighter complexion. These products include bleaching creams, soaps, and pills, as well as professional treatments like chemical peels and laser therapy. There is no health benefit to skin bleaching. Results aren’t guaranteed and there’s evidence that skin lightening can result in serious side effects and complications. From a medical standpoint, there’s no need to lighten the skin. But if you’re considering skin bleaching, it’s important to understand the risks. A number of countries have banned the use of skin bleaching products because of the dangers associated with them. In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source also issued a notice that over-the-counter (OTC) skin bleaching products are not recognized as safe and effective. The products were deemed not safe for human use based on a review of evidence.
