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.
