Anal bleaching, an already known and sought after treatment has becoming even more popular after Bruno movie.

In order to play gay guy in Bruno, it’s alleged that Sacha Baron Cohen tried to bleach all his body hair “so it would look invisible.” Anal bleaching was also on the cards and the procedure is now one of the most wanted among young people.

Unfortunately, there are some anal bleaching products and treatments that still contain the dangerous ingredients like Hydroquinone and Mercury. We urge you to avoid skin bleaching products that contain Hydroquinone and or Mercury even if they contain a small percentage of Hydroquinone such as 4%-6% .

Both products perform a similar process. In the short term they will initially cause the skin to lighten by inhibiting the production of melanin.

Hydroquinone or Mercury applied to the skin will react with ultra violet rays and re-oxidise. By altering the skins natural structure and inhibiting the production of Melanin, it’s natural protection, the skin is more susceptible to skin cancer.

Prolonged use of Hydroquinone will thicken collagen fibres damaging the connective tissues. The result is rough blotchy skin leaving it with a spotty appearance.

Mercury will slowly accumulate within the skin cells striping the skin of it’s natural pigment leaving behind the gray and blue pigmentation in the folds of the skin. In the long term the chemical can damage vital organs and can lead to liver and kidney failure and mercury poisoning. Same applies to Kajoic Acid that also works by inhibiting melanin production.

However, alternative natural skin lightening treatments are available now.

Avoid risky ingredients as hydroquinone, and harsh ingredients designed to peel away skin. Look for safe, yet effective solutions which inhibit, slow down or interrupt melanin production.

If you plan to lighten your intimate areas including the anal region and other delicate areas, it is important to research each products ingredient to ensure that product and treatment contain only safe ingredients.
