can I use household bleach on my face im african american and I lost a bunch of weight and I want to be lighter??
no no matter what race you are, household bleach used to bleach clothes is not to be used on your face to do so would cause burns, possibly 3rd degree burns even which could leave you with permenent scars you also may get a severe allergic reaction to it, causing your throught os well which can suffocate you household bleach is also not a skin bleach there is face and body bleach specially designed to ligten the hair on your face and body but if its the skin you want to lighten no bleach will do that and using bleach to do it will only cause brurning and possibly worse im not even sure if there is anything yet that can lighten dark skin
Agree. I've lived in countries where the latest ideal was 'paleness', and the damage done by commercial 'skin lighteners' was horrible. Household bleach is even worse.
Why don't you start collecting photos of beautiful people of your colour? In a way, that's what a (pale) friend of mine who is married to a (very dark) man from India and has two rather dark-skinned girls has done: she's bought or rented lots of Indian Bollywood films, to show her girls a different standard of beauty.
Be proud of what you are! And congratulations on your weight loss - I bet you look just great!
