FADE THOSE SCARS RIGHT!
Bleaching is never the way to go; in recent times a
lot of people are following the trend of bleaching
their skin in order to fade blemishes from acne. I
am here to say STOP! You stand a better chance at
staying in the sun and trying to bring the lighter
parts of your complexion even to the marks.
Bleaching is dangerous! It can result in, “severe
burning or itching of the skin. Unlike mild skin
irritation expected with application [of skin
bleaching products], the pain would be severe and
intolerable. Crusting on the skin could appear, as
well as swelling of areas where skin bleach has been
applied”, among other dangerous side effects. There
are other natural ways to eliminate the scars from
acne. Here are a few recipes that should help
