Can hydrogen peroxide be used to wipe the face?

Hydrogen peroxide has a relatively high oxygen content and has the ability to penetrate skin cells. Many people use hydrogen peroxide to whiten their skin, such as hydrogen peroxide facial masks, hydrogen peroxide whitening and freckle removal masks, etc. At the same time, hydrogen peroxide has the function of disinfection and sterilization. Mixing hydrogen peroxide and ordinary water in proportion and applying to the face will have a certain effect in the short term, but hydrogen peroxide is relatively irritating and is not suitable for long-term facial applications. Therefore, it should be used in stages and long-term use should be avoided to avoid damaging skin health.

1. Apply hydrogen peroxide to your face for whitening

How can women use hydrogen peroxide to whiten their skin? What are the correct ways to care for your skin? After cleansing, dip a clean handkerchief or towel in hydrogen peroxide and apply it to your face for 3-5 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day, and use it for 7-10 days in a row to achieve a good whitening effect. This is also the whitening method used by celebrity Jun Ji-hyun.

It will cause strong irritation to the skin and should not be used for a long time.

Medical hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant and bactericidal agent, and it does have a certain whitening effect. However, using hydrogen peroxide directly for whitening is quite dangerous. 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide has strong permeability and oxidizing properties, which will make the skin rough over time. Some people will experience complete loss of pigmentation after using it, which is what we often call vitiligo.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening and Anti-Freckle Mask

Mix one tablespoon of milk with two tablespoons of medical hydrogen peroxide, add three tablespoons of flour and a little water and mix carefully. Then apply the mask evenly on the face with a soft brush. After the mask is completely dry, wash it off with warm water.

Before applying the mask, you should apply some oil on your eyebrows and the edges of your hair to prevent the mask from sticking to these places. After the mask is dry, you can wash it off. It is best to use distilled water without impurities to make facial masks, and avoid the eyes and eyebrows when applying the mask.

This is a rather irritating mask that can easily damage the skin. Unless you are in a hurry to see people with a white face, it is not recommended to use this mask. Hydrogen peroxide is generally used to disinfect wounds. Although it can whiten the skin quickly, it will also produce free radicals, irritate the skin, and make it sensitive and fragile.

We have already made a detailed introduction above about the method of alcohol skin care. That’s all we have to say about more whitening and moisturizing methods. Of course, regarding women's beauty and skin care methods using hydrogen peroxide, experts from Wenkang Information Network suggest that if your skin is very sensitive, you must be careful when using hydrogen peroxide.
