Skin Turns White After Hydrogen Peroxide

On the principle of skin whitening caused by hydrogen peroxide
Substances in the world have their own characteristics. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. Human skin, when exposed to this substance, its skin color suddenly changes and turns white.

Because hydrogen peroxide meets the skin, a chemical reaction occurs. Its oxygen atoms are active and eager to obtain electrons to achieve a stable state. Pigmented substances in the skin, such as melanin, contain structures that can lose electrons. Oxygen atoms in hydrogen peroxide capture melanin electrons, and the melanin structure is broken, causing the color to become lighter.

And hydrogen peroxide can cause protein denaturation in the surface cells of the skin. Proteins are the basis of cell structure and function. After its degeneration, the light scattering changes, and in the vision, the skin will appear white.

And the human body has the ability to repair itself. The skin is stimulated by this, and the repair mechanism is initiated. If the damage is minor, the skin can recover its color; if the injury is severe, it may leave traces.

Therefore, when exposed to hydrogen peroxide, the skin turns white, which is the result of a combination of chemical reactions, cellular changes and human repair. Use such substances with caution to avoid hurting the skin.
