Hydrogen Peroxide Skin Whitening Risks and Realities

On the pros and cons of hydrogen peroxide for skin whitening
In recent times, there have been people who use hydrogen peroxide for skin whitening. The saying is popular, but the pros and cons cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. Or it is said to have an effect on skin whitening. Because of its oxidizing effect, it can help decompose the pre-melanin body in the skin, or it has a certain exfoliation effect on the stratum corneum of the skin, so that the surface of the skin is renewed, which seems to have a brightening effect.

However, this move actually hides many risks. The strong oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide, if the concentration is improper, can easily burn the skin, cause skin redness, swelling, pain, and even blister and Even if low-concentration hydrogen peroxide used for medical disinfection is used for long-term and frequent use on the skin, it will destroy the normal barrier function of the skin. After the skin barrier is damaged, its resistance to external stimuli is greatly reduced, and it is easy to cause allergic reactions, such as itching, rash, etc. And excessive oxidation or interfere with the metabolic balance of the skin itself, causing dry and rough skin for a long time, accelerating the aging process of the skin.

Furthermore, whitening with hydrogen peroxide is not a long-term and safe method. Healthy whitening of the skin should be done from the inside out and follow the natural way. If you maintain a balanced diet and consume antioxidant foods rich in vitamins C, E, etc., you can help reduce melanin production; work and rest regularly, avoid staying up late, which is conducive to skin metabolism; do a good job of daily sunscreen to block UV damage to the skin, which is the right way for skin whitening and health.

Therefore, those who desire skin whitening should take it seriously and not risk damaging skin health due to temporary effects.
