Hazardous Effects of Bleaching Cream on Human Skin is a very important issue we must consider when selecting our cosmetics choices. Some people in Africa, Southern Asia, the Caribbean, and the Middle East associate a lighter complexion with prosperity and high fashion. As a result a considerable number of men and women in this places uses products to lighten their skin tone-but some time at a high cost to their health,

   Some skin-lighten creams contain hydroquinone, a bleaching agent that suppresses the production of MELANIN, thus reducing the skin's natural protection against damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and causing hazardous effect. Hydroquinone penetrates the skin and may cause irreversible damage to connective tissue. A result is premature aging. The chemical may also be cancer-causing. Other creams contain mercury, which is another toxin.

  Furthermore, continuous use of such products can cause disfiguring rashes, unsightly blotches, and skin so weaken that it cannot be stitched if cut. And if the chemicals in some of the these cosmetics are absorbed into the bloodstream, they can damage the liver, the kidneys, or the brain-even causing organ failur.


Ironically, while some dark-skinned people want to lighten their complexion, many fair-skinned people go to great length to get a deep tan. To be sure, moderate exposure to the sun can be healthful. it can, for example enable the production of vitamin D. but extended exposure, especially when the sun is high in the sky, can be harmful. A tan, in fact, indicates that the skin has already suffered damages and is trying to protect itself from further exposure to harmful UV rays. But that protection is limited. A dark tan on fair skin, for instance, provides a sun -probation factor of no more than four. While regular use of sunscreens may help, it does not provide complete protection against skin damage and certain cancers, including melanoma.

Hence, the world health Organization recommends" strengthening the message that everyone should be happy with their natural skin colour." Which is an important step in skin promoting sun-smart attitudes?"  for further reading check  www.savehealthylivingtips..com

this scenarios arises as a result of misplaced values and societal perception. People generally feel a fair looking person is more beautiful. but that is not always d case because when you get close to them you discover that they dont look as beautiful as you think.

what baffles me is when you see some men using bleaching cream. sometime you may want to excuse the ladies when it is done moderately, however for those men that uses bleaching cream I wonder what they are looking for.

sometimes the use of bleaching be a sign of lack of self confidence, inferiority complex or not being of who and the way you are.
