stop using Hydroquinone to bleach/lighten your skin !
think about it....why would you use a chemical substance that is used to develop photos ?
i used to take a class in high school that had us developing photos....
and mind you....the process of development was so serious. we had to wear gloves, masks...the whole nine.
hydroquinone has mercury, steroids and other harmful things in it. mercury is deadly...and has been removed from many things....(I.E thermometers, batteries.) so why would you want that on your skin ! steroids can produce unwanted things, like facial hair on women, stretch marks and other unsightly things ! i personally think bleaching is wrong, but that's just my opinion. if people want to bleach i say do so, but do it safely. there are natural things that naturally lighten skin...just please find those ways and not use something very, very harmful such as Hydroquinone....a lady used it that i know, and now her skin is even DARKER than before. and also it is blotchy, not very pretty. and to keep up the new lighter appearance, you have to maintain to use the hydroquinone because if you don't, the melanin will hyper-activate and you will become even darker from the first time. going outside without a sun screen will always be a problem, because you will burn (NOT tan). look at michael jackson, every time he went outside, he had an umbrella, EVERY time. (even though he wasn't using hydroq.) thatyou might as well take up a smoking habit. you will need to keep buying it. just put some deep thought into it.
