Dr. Bijayalaxmi Sahoo* and Dr. P. Karkuzhali

ABSTRACT

The use of sunscreens, skin-lightening products is common among young females. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of skin lightening practice, motivations behind the practice, awareness of the adverse effects and perception about skin care among the female students of SBMCH. Questionnaires regarding this were prepared and were distributed to 100 female students of our college to collect data regarding their usage and awareness of skin lightening products and sunscreens. Information was gathered. The data was analyzed and studied. Students in the age group of 19-29 years, were included in the study. The most common site of use is the face and skin irritation, the commonly experienced adverse effect. Majority of the respondents believed that lighter skin tone is healthier. Most of these students are well exposed to the information and have good knowledge of the harmful effects of the product. Despite knowing, it does not stop them from using it as they believe that having a lighter skin tone is for their own self-satisfaction.

Keywords: Skin lightening; Awareness; Hazards.
