Your Guide to Anal Bleaching: What You Need to Know

In 2020, despite the craziness we all experienced with the hit of the pandemic, we got to see an increase in different trends, skin care being one of them. It is not news that for the past couple of years, the road towards achieving that glowy, clean look became mainstream and this usually begins with taking care of your skin.

All of it.

Including… 

Are you ready for it?

Anal Bleaching.

If truth be told, exotic dancers, porn stars, and models have been doing this for years, which is why their skin looks incredibly perfect. You see, skin hyperpigmentation in intimate areas (or any other area that is prone to be in constant friction due to tight clothes or whatever, you name it…) is completely normal! However, as Brazilian waxes grow in popularity, most of us start noticing that the skin around the… bum bum, is of a darker shade. Dermatologists and waxing professionals report that many people are showing special interest in their skin down-under, and want to know how to even out their skin tone and fade the excess pigment safely. Even spas that offer skin lightening services have reported an increasing request for intimate bleaching appointments (for both, females and males alike!) from the past two years. 

While this new trend may sound crazy or even a little cringy (cause let’s face it, having someone else bleach the skin down there seems a little… too up close and personal?) people are loving and keep hoping on the trend of anal bleaching. 

Here’s the top 5 things you must to know BEFORE starting your Intimate Bleaching journey:

1) How Does Skin Whitening Work?

Although it is commonly known as “skin bleaching”, it is more like a fading cream than you know… actual Clorox bleach. The products work by prohibiting the formation of excess melanin – which is basically the chemical responsible for skin color – and increasing skin cell renewal to effectively remove the already existing dark spots. 

We have three layers of skin: the hypodermis, the dermis and finally, the epidermis (which is the top layer).

Skin Whitening products give their final results from the inside out.  They start by preventing Melanin formation deep in the hypodermis, as your body naturally renews old skin cells, the body pushes them to the top and the new cells that form have less melanin – which results in a lighter tonality. For this reason, it might take a little while for you to actually see changes on your skin tone after you start applying a lightening serum. 

Most salon treatments and DIY home remedies for skin whitening use natural ingredients, such as Alpha Arbutin, Kojic acid, or Papaya Enzyme. NELLA Skincare uses the three of them, along with many other natural ingredients researched to lighten the skin and accelerate the skin whitening process. 

2) Why Do People Bleach Their Booty?

There isn’t exactly a reason why people want to bleach their bum. It might be a combination of many different ones. As waxing and laser hair removal become more popular, people seem to gain special interest for skin care of their intimate areas. They might feel self-conscious about the darker tonality, or simply might want to feel clean down there. Sometimes people do it trying to impress or appeal to their partner. However, most of the time, people do it so they can feel more sexy and confident in their own skin. 

3) How Long Will It Take To Lighten Intimate Areas?

Ahh, the million dollar question. It all depends on your personal goals, however you should aim for two to three shades lighter than your natural pigment. 

From our experience, and hearing feedback from satisfied users, it takes anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks depending on your skin pigmentation and how thick or thin your skin is. You will start noticing nice effects on your skin from the first few days (smooth to the touch, less texture, moisturized) and then about 6-8 weeks in, you will notice a fairly rapid change in color. Being consistent and patient is key to achieving your desired results! Despite it taking a bit of time, our beloved customers who keep up with the process always report how happy they were with the results. We also recommend using our Intimate Whitening Body scrub along with our powerful Skin Whitening serum to fasten visible results. 

4) Can I Lighten Intimate Areas At Home?

​Definitely! We know that most people actually would prefer to avoid embarrassing salon appointments and do it themselves at home. 

If you’re not ready to get up-close-and-personal with your local salon personnel, then you’re probably better off with an at-home treatment designed to give you professional salon results.

Intimate anal bleaching at home is really simple – Just follow the directions included on the box. The most important part is knowing what product to use. You have to make sure that the product you are using is made with natural ingredients that are safe to use on intimate areas and are suitable for all skin types. Our products not only match with the aforementioned requirements but have also been proven effective by our thousands of worldwide customers. 

It is important to mention that you have to be very careful of products that use Hydroquinone, as this can cause irreversible damage.

5) Is It Safe to Bleach Anal Area?

It is safe when you are using high-quality products that don’t irritate the skin. 

One of the major risks of  skin bleaching done at a salon or spa, is that you can’t have full control over the product they use, the cleanliness, or the expertise of the person conducting the treatment. For this reason many people tend to go for the at-home method, where you’re in total control.
