Tips For Applying Bleach On The Face

While applying bleach on the face is a simple process, there are certain things that you need to keep in mind to avoid your skin from falling prey to any problems. Here are few things you need to keep in mind while trying out these home remedies:
- Always clean your face with water before applying anything on it. Impurities, dirt, grime and other chemicals need to be scrubbed out because otherwise there are chances of them entering the inner layer of the skin
- Never wash your face with hot water as it might not just burn your skin but also expose the pore on it to impurities and infections
- Do not go overboard with ingredients. Always add the amount as specified in the remedy. Adding more than the required quantity can harm the skin and even render the remedy ineffective. Balance is the name of the game and it must be maintained while preparing any remedy.
- Never straight away wash off a mask or bleach from the face. If it requires to scrub it off your face, then wet your hands first and then gently massage your face. You can even use a wet cotton ball to remove the mask off the face first and them wash if off with water later.
- Always follow up the bleach application regime with application of a moisturizing lotion. Most of the products used in the remedies tend to dry the skin and leave it dehydrated. To make your skin feel soft and supple, always pat dry the skin post wash and with gentle hands massage the lotion in circular motions. It will make the skin feel soft and look radiant.
