Does baby oil lighten skin?

Published in Skincare 1 min read

No, baby oil does not lighten skin. Baby oil is a highly refined petroleum-based oil that helps prevent skin from drying out by forming a barrier. It does not have any bleaching properties and will not lighten skin.

Some sources suggest that baby oil can actually darken skin because it can magnify the sun's rays. While baby oil may make skin appear temporarily brighter due to its moisturizing properties, it does not actually change skin pigmentation.

If you are looking for a skin-lightening product, consider using a product specifically formulated for that purpose. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist before using any skin-lightening products as they can have potential side effects.
