What Is Skin Toning?

Skin Toning involves the use of creams and toners to give an even tone to the damaged skin. This damage could be due to overexposure to sunlight etc. Generally, we neglect using a good quality sunscreen, thus resulting in uneven toned skin. Uneven toned skin is darker on neck, forehead and hands whereas fairer on some part of the face like cheeks etc.

What is Skin Lightening(Bleaching)?

Skin Lightening or bleaching is done using chemicals on our body to lighten the effects of Melanin. Melanin gives colour to our skin and at the same time protects it from the harmful UV Rays of the sun. Bleaches control the effect of Melanin and then you get a lighter colour skin on the bleached area.
