What is Skin Lightening?
Skin lightening, which is also sometimes called whitening or bleaching, is a process in which dark spots
(or other areas of the skin affected by hyperpigmentation) are “lightened” or balanced back to the original
color of the skin.
This is done by manipulating or decreasing the amount of melanin present within the
skin.
Melanin is what controls the pigment of the skin.
A perfectly balanced amount will result in normal
skin tone but if there are excessive amounts of melanin, the sections of skin that have these high doses
will become darker than the rest of your skin.
Over the past decade, the popularity of skin lightening has skyrocketed.
Thousands of individuals
undergo treatments at spas, use skin lightening products or produce home made remedies to lighten the
skin.
This has become a multi-million dollar industry simply because of people who are looking to rid
themselves of things like dark spots, age spots, melasma, sun damaged skin and other ailments
