The industry of skin care products has increased its profit in the last years by selling products which are said to whiten the skin and remove dark spots in an instant. Yet, this $45 billion dollars is not always true to its clients, thus many of the skin whitening products available on the market are not as good as they say, while other may cause side effects about which most of the companies do not even mention. In order to protect yourself from scams and unwanted effects of skin whitening creams it is important to know what substances are good for your skin and how should you use them for increased effectiveness.

There are two major ways in which dark spots can be removed and skin can be whitened: first there is the bleaching procedure through which the tyrosinase (the enzyme triggering melanin) is inhibited and less melanin is produced, thus less dark pigment is released in the skin. The other possibility is through exfoliation. AHAs and BHAs are the most widely used substances for skin exfoliation. They loosen the connections between cells, thus allowing the dead skin to peel off and the new and healthy skin to be brought to surface.

Yet, most of the times, it is good to use more than one substance in order to achieve better results. For example, if you are thinking about using the bleaching system through inhibiting the action of the tyrosinase or of the melanocytes, using only hydroquinone may treat your problem, but if you combine it with other substances, such as Vitamin C or gluconic acid, the results will be even more visible and it will take less time for the dark spots to be completely removed from the skin. In addition to that, some of the bleaching products have also antioxidant properties, thus stopping the premature aging of the skin, while others have the property of retaining the moisture inside the layers of skin, thus preventing the skin dryness. These and other similar properties will help the skin recover faster after the bleaching treatment and will prevent the apparition of any side effects. This is why, when purchasing a skin whitening product look for those products which have as scope inhibiting all types of melanin production. Also, make sure that the products you purchase also have ingredients meant to protect your skin against dryness or powerful action of the active ingredients.

If you have sensitive skin, look for products adequate to your type of skin. To reduce the risks to minimum it is advisable to look for natural products. Most of the skin whitening substances can also be found in nature, so combining different fruits or vegetables and applying them on the area to be treated may have the same effects as a chemical cream made up of more active substances, yet without any side effects.

The skin is one of man’s most precious jewels. It makes the individual look in a certain way, it protects the muscles and the blood vessels from external damage and it increases their resistance through hard weather conditions. It is the largest organ from the human body, thus taking proper care of it is essential for those who want to have a normal, healthy life. However, because skin is at the surface of the human body, the chances of damage increase significantly.

One of the worst enemies human skin has is the sun. The ultraviolet rays are very damaging to the skin and can create serious burns on the surface of the skin. While many people do not get to deal with so serious consequences on their skin, there are numerous individuals who have to cope with brown spots resulted from the excessive exposure to sun. These dark spots appear when the skin is exposed for a larger period of time to the ultraviolet rays without any type of protection.

The skin color is given by three factors: the melanin (black color), the carotene (yellow color) and blood vessels (pink color). The melanin has two roles: that of coloring the skin in black tints and that of absorbing the ultraviolet rays in order to protect the skin form the damaging effects of the sun. The more exposed to the sun the skin is the more melanin will be produced, thus the skin will have a darker color. In some cases, on some patches of skin, an increased quantity is still produced even after the skin is no longer exposed to solar rays. On these patches of skin brown spots are developed.

In order to prevent the apparition of dark spots, you should not expose your skin to the sun. It is recommended that people with white or sensitive skin should not get out of the house when the sun rays are very powerful (in the hot seasons, between 10 am and 4pm) and if they have to get out they should protect the skin with high SPF lotions. These creams and ointments are specially designed to reject the solar rays or absorb them before reaching the inner layers of the skin so that the skin will not be damaged and the production of melanin will not be increased.

To make sure your skin will not become spotted from the sun use creams with SPF higher than 30. These will effectively protect your skin and will allow you to get out of the house even though the sun is burning outside.

Brown spots, even though they produce no pain or discomfort, are very anesthetic and most often are a burden for people who have to deal with them. They influence one’s appearance and may even shake well one’s confidence in themselves. This is why, those having to cope such skin imperfections want to get rid of them as soon as possible, yet without experiencing any further damage of the skin.

One of the most employed method through which the brown spots are removed is by exfoliation of the upper layers of skin. This presupposes the application of a special cream which help the darker layers of skin be removed without affecting the healthy cells.

It addition to treating different skin conditions, these acids are also very effective in moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

From all these acids, by far the most used substance in treating sun spots is the glycolic acid. Yet, the lactic and the citric acid are also used extensively when it comes to removing brown spots. These substances are mainly used in dermatological offices. There, under medical supervision, creams containing higher or lower concentrations of substance (depending on the severity of the issue) are applied on the skin, thus removing the upper layer of skin and leaving the healthy ones to the surface.

There are also home-based bleaching creams which contain AHA, but the concentrations of the active substances are lower, as they are not done under medical supervision, thus the risk of side effects increases significantly. In fact, it is recommended that if you want to exfoliate your skin using one of these products, to choose the one which has a lower quantity of active substance at the beginning, and only if that cream is not successful to try a more concentrate product.

Chemical Bleaching Creams vs. Natural Skin Whitening Recipes

There has been a time when products made up in laboratories were considered to be the best products on the market. This was mainly because a large share of population believed that those products represent the highest standard that a product could reach. However, time has proved that products made in laboratories are not faultless and that in many case the chemical substances used for their preparation were doing more harm than actually helping people. Thus, a large share of people has turned their faces towards nature and natural ingredients in the hope of finding an alternative to chemical products.

Skin whitening is one of those fields which enjoy these two alternatives: chemical bleaching creams and natural skin whitening recipes. But which of these solutions is best for the skin? Let’s make a simple comparison of the two types of skin whitening treatments! Once you have some information about each of them you will be able to answer the above question all by yourselves.

The first thing that comes to every person’s mind when thinking about choosing one or the other product is its effectiveness. Everyone wants to choose that alternative which will get them rid of black spots and darkened skin forever. Here probably both types of treatments are equally good as this is what they have been created for. Sometimes, there are cases in which the combination of natural ingredients has the same active substance as the chemical cream.

Second on the list of features a skin whitening product should have is safety. Unfortunately here there are some products which do not respect this feature. Chemical bleaching products have been reported to have side effects on different types of people. Most affected are pregnant women and people with sensitive skin. Because most of the ingredients are obtained in the laboratory, they can have quite a damaging effect on the human skin. The risk of allergies is even bigger as there are few people who have been testing these substances before. In case of the natural, homemade products, the risk of side effects is reduced to minimum, as most ingredients are used in cooking or are eaten as such. Also, because they can be made by the patient itself, the risk of allergies is completely removed, as people usually know what they are allergic to.

Last criterion of evaluation is the price. Whereas the price in the case of the chemical bleaching products varies according to the substances used, the producer or the brand selling it, the natural products have a rather small and fixed price, as all the ingredients are currently used in the kitchen.

Apart from these, the natural products are freshly prepared by the patient and can be used immediately after preparation for a more intense ingredients’ action. They are simple to make and apply and can be used for a longer period of time.
