▪️Skin lightening soap
Soaps are in contact with skin for too short a time to cause any effect. Better to use glycolic acid or mandelic acid based face wash which cause gentle exfoliation and remove dead skin. This helps in reducing tanning and dullness.
▪️ Fairness creams
These contain zinc oxide which forms white cast on the skin making people believe that its making skin fairer.
Better to use kojic acid or aloha arbutin based serums twice a day and sunscreen on a regular basis to reduce tan and improve skin tone
Remember that natural skin colour cannot change permanently and safely.
▪️Instant brightening creams
These contain bleaching agent which make hair golden to give illusion of lighter skin.
Better to use agents which reduce melanin production and a sunscreen for improving skin quality.
▪️Skin lifting creams
Skin sagging occurs due to structural changes in skin , muscles and bones which cannot be corrected by application of any creams on the face.
Some devices have to be used to lift the face, if you dont want anything invasive, such as Skin tightening and High intensity focussed ultrasound
