Apply skin bleach directly to the dark area of skin only. If you have widespread areas that need to be lightened, use a bleach that is safe for large areas. For small areas, use a cotton swab to get the skin bleach in the precise area.

2
Protect your skin from the sun at all times. Apply sun screen over the bleach and all other areas of exposed skin. Sun exposure causes more damage and even darkens the dark areas.

Tips & Warnings
When trying a new skin bleach product, use a small amount in an inconspicuous area to see if you have any reactions to the bleach. It may take a day or so to see any results. Test the bleach on your skin, wait a few days and then proceed with the full treatment.
Irritation, redness and an allergic reaction are common side effects of some skin bleaches.
Avoid using skin bleach on light areas of the skin or even on the skin next to a dark area. This causes the light area to become even lighter.
