QUOTE (Salman) What is the Side Effects of Skin Bleaching? Please tell me about Bleaching side effects. Question asked at Yahoo Answers If you will be asked, what do you prefer, a cream or soap? But before you come up with a decision, you really have to be careful when choosing beauty products to use as it might lead to long term side effects such as skin cancer, liver damage, kidney damage, and even poisoning. Today's modern society, most people especially women tend to be conscious with the way they look. As part of their belief, when one has a lighter paler complexions, she's portraying combined beauty, success, and richness. As a result, this belief trigger the huge market in the UK to produce skin lightening products, or also known as bleaching products. But these people aren't aware, or should I say, are ignoring the fact that these products can pose dangers to their skin. So what could really be the possible side effects of skin bleaching or skin lightening? Here are the long term side effects of using skin lightening products that consists of chemicals stated below: QUOTE (http://www.pressbox.co.uk/detailed/Health/skin_bleaching/_lightening_its_dangers_37431.html) The long term effects of using skin lightening products Hydroquinone or Mercury applied to the skin will react with ultra violet rays and re-oxidise, leading to more pigmentation and premature ageing. More product is then applied in an attempt to correct the darker blotchy appearance. These are the beginnings of a vicious cycle. By altering the skins natural structure and inhibiting the production of Melanin, it’s natural protection, the skin is more susceptible to skin cancer. Prolonged use of Hydroquinone will thicken collegen fibres damaging the connective tissues. The result is rough blotchy skin leaving it with a spotty cavier appearance. Mercury will slowly accumulate within the skin cells striping the skin of it’s natural pigment leaving behind the tell tale signs of gray/ blue pigmentation in the folds of the skin. In the long term the chemical will damage vital organs and lead to liver and kidney failure and mercury poisoning. -------------------- If you have the courage to try and the faith to believe, there's nothing in life that is hard to achieve.
