notes from sketchbook
To gain a better understanding about the negative effects of using skin bleaching products, I conducted research which specifically breaks down the chemical components inside of skin bleaching products:
Tretinon
Hydroquinone
Kojic Acid
Mercury
These four elements are known for stripping away melanin from the skin surface. Stripping of the melanin removes the function of the skint hat protects skin from UV, so by removing that it increases the chance of getting cancer. Types of cancer one can get from using skin bleaching products is cancer of the blood, liver, kidney and skin; which is rather extensive. Also some products are also known to have mercury contained in them - which is repeatedly used seeps into the skin and possibly leading to organ failure.
