Intimate cosmetic procedures including anal bleaching, vaginal bleaching, genital bleaching, and nipple bleaching, started as “Hollywood” trends, and were only performed in a few boutique salons in California and New York. Since the popularity of these procedures has grown, many people are now choosing to perform them at home. The transition to at-home intimate area lightening is very similar to when people started dying their hair at home instead of in salons due to the amount of money you can save as well as the embarrassment of having the intimate area bleaching procedure performed in a salon.

Paying Close Attention to Ingredients  

The single most important ingredient you need to watch out for when deciding on an intimate area lightener is Hydroquinone. This is because Hydroquinone is extremely dangerous and may lead to the development of cancer. It has already been banned in countries like the U.K. and France, and Dr. Jacobs of the F.D.A. has concluded that Hydroquinone is mutagenic, clastogenic, and immunotoxic. You should avoid any product which contains Hydroquinone and instead use products which include the more effective lightening agent: Alpha Arbutin.
