WHY YOU SHOULD TOSS THE BLEACH

LOVE YOUR SKIN

Paramedical skincare specialist Najma Khan has urged women to love the skin they’re in and avoid the devastating damage that comes with bleaching.

Khan said skin bleaching ought to be abhorred rather than encouraged.

“Beauty is not defined by only outer looks but the entirety of one’s personality and therefore light skin cannot set the benchmark for beauty. Skin bleaching is an evolving practice that is gaining participants on a daily basis.

Khan, co-owner of Danné MontagueKing warns against the use of products such as Hydroquinone – which can cause major damage to skin. People are offered harsh chemicals in order to make it sleek, but it is often left damaged. These harsh chemicals are often similar to ingredients in many skin bleaching products.” | Latoya Newman

SKIN TIP

Sunscreen should be worn every day to protect the skin from harsh sun rays. Experts recommend a SPF of 30 because it is proven to provide a sufficient amount of protection against sunlight.
