Sometimes as human being,we don't stop bad acts because our IMAMS or PASTORS has preached against it, but just because of it's presumed results or may be it's side effects has begin to manifest in our lives or it has begin to infringe on our health. Below are the list of side effects of bleaching creams on our pqs, please enjoy the write ups and make necessary correction because it is rather too late than never.
The skin lightening products available
promise a new and improved image, with
names such as Looking Good, Fashion Flair,
Crusader, Skin Success and Diva Maxima e.t.c.
It’s difficult to be sure what is in these
products because the manufacturers often
don’t fully disclose the ingredients. Some
ingredients — such as petroleum jelly, vitamin
E and fruit acids — are harmless. They may
also contain chemicals that reduce the
concentration of melanin (which gives the skin
its dark pigmentation).

But some creams contain toxic chemicals that
can cause serious side effects. Mercury
compounds have been used in skin lightening
creams for many years, and excessive use has
been linked to brain and kidney problems.
Hydroquinone, another common ingredient,
can cause many side effects, including
dermatitis (skin irritation), cataracts and blue-
black skin discolouration. Do you know that these chemicals get absorbed into your body system through pores on your skin and get into your blood stream? Well, all biology students will know these and i am sure it is a pre-requisite subject in our secondary schools. It may sometimes
cause an offensive fish odour in the user.YOUR GIRL FRIEND WEY DEY BLEACH NEVER BEGIN TO DEY SMELL? MAY BE VERY SOON, THANKS TO PERFUMES AND ROLL-ON.
Many skin lightening creams also contain
steroids in doses up to 1,000 times higher than
in creams used to treat eczema and other skin
conditions. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN BLEACHING FOR A LONG TIME AND STILL REMAIN INTELLIGENT OR BRILLIANT? PLEASE SINCERELY LOOK FOR ONE IN YOUR VICINITY.
Steroid use can cause all sorts of
complications such as thinning of the skin,
acne, red stretch marks and discolouration(KAMPALA SKIN). As for thinned skin, recovery is not a cinch after any slight injury. HOW MANY OF THE SKIN BLEACHERS CAN EVER BE INJURY FREE IN THEIR LIFE TIME? THINK.
Worse still, the steroids in these creams can
act like cortisol, a hormone made by the body
to deal with stress. Too much cortisol can
cause a myriad of problems, including swelling
of the face and abdomen, weight gain, thin
skin that bruises easily, stretch marks, weak
muscles, high blood pressure, diabetes,
osteoporosis and depression. DO YOU STILL WANNA GO AHEAD AND SAY NA FOR YOUR VILLAGE ABOVE AILMENTS COME FROM WHEN YOU KNOW SAY YOU DEY BLEACH?

It can also fool the body into ceasing cortisol
production. So, if someone suddenly stops
using these creams, they could become
seriously ill because their stress hormones
have been temporarily “turned off”.
If you are still bleaching your skin, please never say never because you will experience minimal effects compared to effects of stopping it later. I congratulate you if you haven't started bleaching as you now know it's health implications. Fellow Nigeria, bleaching can never make you look like a white man and you can not earn their respect either. GOOD LUCK AND RAMADAN KAREEM TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

So long story short bleaching is unhealthy, makes you smelly, makes you stupid and makes you look foolish to others.
