Why papaya, potato, lemon, milk, and beetroot?

Papaya

  • Papaya has natural bleaching properties which can help in lightening your skin complexion.
  • Also, its cleansing properties help in removing impurities from the skin and also protect your skin from sun damage.

Milk

  • Milk contains lactic acid, which is very helpful in lightening the skin and eliminating the dead skin cells that form on your face.
  • It also helps to soothe sunburns as it contains a protein that prevents burning sensations and reduces excessive pigmentation.

Sugar beets

  • Beetroot contains Vitamin-C which prevents pigmentation and thus brightens the complexion.
  • Beetroot is also a rich source of iron, phosphorous, and protein which gives your skin a healthy and rosy complexion.

Potato

  • Due to a skin-bleaching enzyme called catecholase, potatoes can help lighten dark spots like freckles, sunspots, and melasma.
  • To make a skin-lightening face mask, raw potato slices, when mixed with other acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, work best.

Lemon

  • You can use lemon juice to brighten the face.
  • This is due to vitamin C, which is a strong antioxidant.
  • This means that lemon can be used to treat acne breakouts, dark spots, freckles, and other types of hyperpigmentation.
  • Vitamin-C present in lemon juice lightens the skin by reducing melanin. But it should be avoided to apply directly to the skin.

Precautions to be taken before applying bleach

  • Avoid applying bleach to skin that is damaged.
  • If you have a skin problem, such as open sores or rashes, bleaching will make your skin condition worse.
  • In general, bleach makes the skin sensitive.
  • Before using bleach on your face, it is advisable not to use any harsh cleansers.
  • 48 hours before applying the bleach, do a small patch test.
  • This will act as a safety net for your skin, and you will know if your skin reacts adversely to bleach.
  • Do not apply bleach to any part of your body that is sensitive, such as your eyes and brows.

You must do a patch test once before applying this gold bleach as everyone's skin reacts differently to natural things.
