Does bleach really burn your skin ?
463707
I am a mom so I work with bleach A LOT and have never gotten chemical burns from it In large quantities it can cause dry skin and even cause your knuckles to crack however the only time I have ever seen a burn or anything resembling it was a friend of mine who was allergic to bleach and it caused painful blisters. So thought I don't recommend using bleach in irresponsible ways like breathing it ( it Will burn your lungs and give you brain damage) or bathing in it which is just stupid. as long as you wash it off your hands after using it you will be fine.

Well, bleach is kinda yellowish...so it will prolly neutralize all the other colors and remain yellowish...?

lemon naturally bleaches but go to the store, the pharmacist will give you a tube of ointment they'll do the same thing safely.\nGood luck, stay away from sharks!

bleach or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), is an alkaline solution. when it contacts your skin, it reacts with the fat that is on your skin and forms some kind of soap, which is why you feel slippery. at higher concentrations or to more sensitive skins it can cause irritation or even chemical burning (which is worse than burning with flame). but it won't melt your skin, melting is when a solid turns to a liquid at happens at high temperatures.

bleaching/whitening does no damage/corrosion to enamel...  that is a common misconception.  the only downside of bleaching for some people is sensitivity in the teeth and gums.  this sensitivity is only temporary and if you want whiter teeth, you'll have to deal with a little discomfort along the way.  \n\nwhitening toothpastes are a gimmick!!  if you read the small print on some of the commercials, you'll see that their claims are made after using the paste for 6 months or longer.  whitening pastes and tartar control pastes have a higher particle size.  these pastes are abrasive and while they remove stains very well, they also remove your enamel (in microscopic amounts along the way).  if your technique is poor when using such pastes, you can do more harm than good.  you may create v-shaped notches in your teeth near the gums and also cause gingival recession.  remember to use a soft brush and gentle, circular motions.\n\nso, bleach until your desired shade is reached--there's no harm as long as you follow all of your dentist's/manufacturer's instructions.

your to young and it could harm your face in the long run.  You can get creams that bleach freckles and spots that are much easier on the skin

I don't burn either but I still use sun protection. Better to be safe then sorry. I believe over the years even if one doesn't burn they are still effected by the sun.

The skin on your elbows and knees is a slightly different texture than the rest of your skin because it's basically built to handle more abuse than the rest of your body.  Halving a lemon and "soaking" your joints in the juice does improve the coloration.  For a quick fix, peroxide also bleaches your skin.  The lemon is healthier, however.

probably, if you think about it. your basically putting twice the bleach to your teeth. beware of your gums though. your gums will likely be agitated.

No. That's a myth. And a stupid one by the way. Acne might have many causes so it has to be treated on a case by case basis. Acne gets worse in most cases because contact with the hands and other areas of the face or wherever you have it by spreading bacteria. Try a a mix of some drops of peroxide with fresh drops of lemon. Spread over the whole face. Make a test on a tine part of your skin first to check for allergic reaction to lemon (like the arm for example) Under no circumstance go to the sum without washing it thoroughly. Do that for a week at night. Once you tested for allergies you can sleep with it once it dries on your skin. Wash in the morning before going  out. Never forget that, otherwise your skin will get dark spots because of the lemon. You should use sunblock as well. Never mind the oily aspect. That's another myth as well.

Tried a few times-- I'm not a fan because they make me feel as though I'm sunburned (burning & itchy) for a few hours after using them.  Supposedly they work by stimulating your epidermal circulation, influencing melanin to migrate to the outer layers of the dermis so that it oxidizes (and tans) faster.

I just love asking daft questions!\n\nI am a chemist not a dermatologist unfortunately, but I'l give it a go! \n\nWhen skin is burned all the cells which contain the relevant chemicals to maintain the up-keep of living tissue are destroyed-permanantly. Skin is a very complex organ, however damaged skin cells are restored by lots of reactions harmoneously occuring similtaneously, one of which is ascorbic acid(vitiman C) acting as an enzyme for the reaction between hydroxyprolase and hydroxylysine which are the foundation of collagen tissue which builds and restores skin. \n\nIn other words, increasing your water and vitiman C intake may help restore the cells not permanatly damaged and will give you better looking skin in the long run,hope that helps you a little!

There are fade/bleaching creams. I find a lot of them at asian supermarkets. That's usually where I get them. Get the one with the chemical: hydroquinon because that's the bleaching agent.

Anal bleaching is the practice of bleaching the darker pigmentation of the skin around the anus for cosmetic purposes. A cream is used containing around 2% hydroquinone (a suspected carcinogen) as an active ingredient.\nNo it doesn't hurt

yes. it happens all the time since its a remainder of the bleach. \nJust: 1)brush it off or\n        2)wipe it off.
