There has been a time when products made up in laboratories were considered to be the best products on the market. This was mainly because a large share of population believed that those products represent the highest standard that a product could reach. However, time has proved that products made in laboratories are not faultless and that in many case the chemical substances used for their preparation were doing more harm than actually helping people. Thus, a large share of people has turned their faces towards nature and natural ingredients in the hope of finding an alternative to chemical products.
Skin whitening is one of those fields which enjoy
these two alternatives: chemical bleaching creams and natural skin whitening
recipes. But which of these solutions is best for the skin? Let’s make a simple
comparison of the two types of skin whitening treatments! Once you have some
information about each of them you will be able to answer the above question
all by yourselves.
The first thing that comes to every person’s mind
when thinking about choosing one or the other product is its effectiveness.
Everyone wants to choose that alternative which will get them rid of black
spots and darkened skin forever. Here probably both types of treatments are
equally good as this is what they have been created for. Sometimes, there are
cases in which the combination of natural ingredients has the same active
substance as the chemical cream.

Second on the list of features a skin whitening
product should have is safety. Unfortunately here there are some products which
do not respect this feature. Chemical bleaching products have been reported to
have side effects on different types of people. Most affected are pregnant
women and people with sensitive skin. Because most of the ingredients are
obtained in the laboratory, they can have quite a damaging effect on the human
skin. The risk of allergies is even bigger as there are few people who have
been testing these substances before. In case of the natural, homemade
products, the risk of side effects is reduced to minimum, as most ingredients
are used in cooking or are eaten as such. Also, because they can be made by the
patient itself, the risk of allergies is completely removed, as people usually
know what they are allergic to.
Last criterion of evaluation is the price. Whereas
the price in the case of the chemical bleaching products varies according to
the substances used, the producer or the brand selling it, the natural products
have a rather small and fixed price, as all the ingredients are currently used
in the kitchen.
Apart from these, the natural products are freshly
prepared by the patient and can be used immediately after preparation for a
more intense ingredients’ action. They are simple to make and apply and can be
used for a longer period of time.
