Effect to the eye: Most bleaching creams contains harmful chemicals like mercury oxide which is very dangerous to the eye sight. It can cause retinal damage or possibly lead to blindness if not stopped.its better to check the content of the cream to be aware of mercury before purchasing.
Ageing: bleaching creams due to strong chemicals they posses,can cause the skin to quickly develop high wrinkle rate.This however, lead to premature ageing of the skin and face.it's obvious in our world today that most bleaching cream addicts are getting older than their ages.
Skin cancer: The use of bleaching with high hydroquinone can cause a high risk of developing skin cancer on the victim's skin. Since this chemical in the cream reduces the melanin of the skin which determines skin color and thereby exposing the skin tissues to environmental factors like heat and sun which reacts on the tissue by attacking the cells thus leaving a vulnerable skin tissue which can lead to skin cancer.
Dipigmentation: As seen in the world today , depigmentation is generally the changing of ones skin color to a lighter appearance. This people call improvement in skin color without knowing is as hazardous as taking a cigarette in a very hot sun. People disregard this as negative effect. When someone dipigments his or her skin , such individual stands a chance of getting a scaring skin or the worse skin cancer.
Vitiligo:vitiligo is a skin condition in which the melanin produces less pigments for the skins appearance thus leaving a white patches on the layers of the skin. Many bleaching creams have the tendency of causing vitiligo and if proper care is not taken, can extend to all part of the body.who appreciates looking like a weird zebra?
Memory loss: people will be wondering how this can be possible. Of course it is.memory lost can be caused by an excessive use of bleaching cream with high mercury. When this creams are applied to the body, the skin absorbs the mercury into the blood streams . thus, this mercury are transported to delicate part of the body like the brains. They can react with some brain tissues which can highly cause a risk of developing loss of memory...
As it seen above you can now be wise and do good to yourself.
