We have to be aware of safety when considering skin lightening. It’s a cut throat industry that shamelessly preys on people’s insecurities and desires to have more lighter, more beautiful skin.

Dangerous ingredients commonly used in whitening creams

In the US a toxic chemical substance Hydroquinone remains very commonly used in creams for ligthening skin. This substance is banned in the UK. Despite a proposed ban by the FDA around 2006 due to suspected connections to cancer, Hydroquinone is still legal, although tightly regulated, in the US.

Side effects that could occur from the use of this substance include skin irritation, permanent damage to skin fibres and Ochronosis. This is a possibly permanent darkening of the skin.

Despite obvious risks, dermatologists are happy enough to recommend it as a safe method of lightening skin. While it’s up to you whether you want to use something like this, we’ll get to a safe, effective alternative shortly.

Other questionable or downright dangerous substances used in bleaching products include the toxic heavy metal mercury and steroids.

Safe ways of lightening dark skin

Which do you prefer then? An effective herb or the dodgy chemical road? I know what I would do. There’s no need to risk your health to lighten dark skin when safe and effective alternatives exist.
