Having milky white skin gives a person unspeakable advantages. It can improve one’s confidence and self-esteem. In our country, white is synonymous to beauty. Filipinas today desire to get whiter skin but not to look exactly like Caucasians. We are already proud of our Asian features, all we want is to improve and enhance them. What we all want and are obsessed with, is having fair skin; but are all skin whitening treatments safe, particularly on prolonged usage? The answer is NO, because there are certain bleaching preparations available in the market which may cause harmful effects on the skin. The most common of which, are the Irritant Contact Dermatitis and Ochronosis.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis is a skin condition caused by direct chemical injury to the skin causing skin rashes and severe itchiness, while Ochronosis is a pigmentary disorder of the skin caused by prolonged use of creams containing Hydroquinone and Mercury.
Hydroquinone, when used over a long period of time, can cause Exogenous Ochronosis (where skin turns bluish or black). While it is true that it is an effective skin whitening compound because it inhibits the production of melanin to cause the whitening of skin color, it can also damage our pigment cells when improperly used.
Mercury, on the other hand, particularly the ammoniated type, which is the most common in Chinese bleaching cream preparations, may cause Ochronosis even in very low concentration if used for a longer period of time. Its cumulative effect may damage the kidneys or even cause neurological effects.

Different Whitening Active Ingredients
- Tyrostat is a strong inhibitor of tyrosinase enzymatic activity, one of the main enzymes involved in the pigmentation process. It has higher activity than arbutin, turmeric, and hydroquinone and with no unwanted side effects. It safely reduces skin pigmentation and erythema by limiting both melanin production and skin reddening for an even skin complexion.
- Beta arbutin is a superb ingredient produced from the bearberry leaves, cranberry, and blueberry. Its primary goal is to prevent tyrosinase production in the body.
- Glutathione is really a pioneer in whitening systems. It is often found in soaps, ointments, lotions, creams and in pills. Its antioxidant properties help you to get whiter skin.
- Licorice is a great ingredient for skin whitening purpose and well-known for its special ability to suppress tyrosinase (melanin production catalyst) production. The substance has anti-inflammatory components, hence can lessen sunburn effects.
- Kojic acid suppresses enzyme tyrosinase production in the body and impede melanin formation. With this, skin whitening is guaranteed. Primarily, kojic acid is produced from the mushroom family, the same fermented by-product used to produce ‘rice wines’.
Body Whitening Scrub is the combination of body scrub and bleaching. Hence, the procedure will provide even colored, glowing and health-looking skin.
In order to achieve a skin that is white as snow, here are some examples of food that you should include in your meals as these can boost skin whitening. These are dairy products (i.e, milk and yogurt), fresh fruits (i.e, lemon, orange, apple, banana, papaya, berries, and kiwi), oatmeal, soybean, almond, aloe vera, sea weeds, potato, beetroot, pumpkin, green tea and dark chocolate. On the other hand, foods that you need to limit intake are cantaloupe, mango, peach, spinach, kale, sweet potato, olive oil, broccoli, and red bell pepper since they are known to affect skin pigmentation thereby causes skin tanning.
