Bleach for face
How Does Face Bleach Work?
Face bleach is a purely chemical substance, its chief component being
hydrogen peroxide, which is the bleaching agent. The hydrogen peroxide
lightens your facial hair, and makes your face appear brighter, fairer. Face
bleach does not lighten your skin.

How To Use a Face Bleach Kit At Home – A Step By Step Guide?
If you want a face bleach at home, there are many chemical-based face bleach creams available at any chemist
or beauty store. A face bleach box kit consists of two items – (i) bleaching cream (ii) activated powder. They also
come with a spatula for easy application and removal.
Step 1: Wash your face with cold water and a mild soap to remove any
makeup, dirt or excess oils. Pat your skin dry.
Step 2: Tie your hair in a bun or ponytail and make sure there’s no
strand on your face, else they will get bleached too!
Step 3: Mix the cream and powder in the right proportion. You will find
the specific proportion mentioned on the box. It is extremely important for
you to get this step right or you would severely impact the result.
Step 4: Do a small patch test with the mixture by applying a small
amount to your arm or leg. Keep it on for 5 minutes before washing it off
with water. Check for redness, or any other reaction.
Step 5: Next, apply the mixture on your face, and make sure you cover the hair evenly and completely. Do not
rub the cream into the skin.
Step 6: Leave it on for a maximum of 10 minutes.
Step 7: Remove the bleach using the spatula. If the hair hasn’t bleached properly, re-apply the same mixture
for another 5 minutes. Do not repeat this step a 3rd time!
Step 8: Wipe your face with a wet towel. Apply some mild moisturizer to soothe any irritation.
How to Make a Natural Face Bleach at Home?
Natural face bleach options in your kitchen cupboards include
lemons, gram flour(besan), tomatoes, potatoes, and curd to name a
few. One quick remedy is a mixture of
lemon juice and honey applied to the
face for 10 minutes. Or, you could
even rub a raw tomato slice on your
face for 2-3 minutes, leave it on for
another 5, and wash it off to see
immediate results. You can also mix
them with a suitable overnight face
pack for your skin type to benefit from
the goodness of bleaching and face
masks.
But while the face bleach benefits of natural products are many (no side-effects!) , the results are slow to show.
You have to use natural face bleach as part of a regular beauty routine to see a difference. If you want instant
results, chemical face bleach creams are the perfect fit for you.

the time to get your upper lip waxed or your facial hair is suddenly starting to show a

3. Dabur OxyLife Salon Professional Crème
Bleach
This one here is suitable for all types of skin. Even those with sensitive skin, which is
prone to irritation and redness, can use Oxy Crème bleach. The brand has been
producing face bleaches for a long time and stood the test of time.
4. VLCC Insta Glow Oxygen Bleach
VLCC is one of the best bleaching cream brands
currently available in India. This type of bleach is
completely different from VLCC’s gold bleach that
was earlier mentioned in the list. Along with lightening your facial hair (not to
the extent of what the gold bleach does), this one lightens your skin, cleans
your pores and removes blackheads. The best part is the additional
pre-bleach cream that comes with it. This pre-bleach cream prepares your
skin for the bleach, avoids any redness or itching, lightens the impact on
skin, and reduces patchiness.
