A parlour facial bleach leaves your face looking brighter and more even, but booking an appointment every few weeks takes time and money. The good news: with the right cream bleach and a few simple steps, you can get the same parlour-style glow at home. In this guide we explain how to use cream bleach on your face safely, how long to leave it on, and what to do afterwards.

What does cream bleach actually do?

Facial cream bleach lightens fine facial hair so it blends with your skin tone. Because the hair becomes less visible, your face looks smoother, brighter and more even. A good bleach cream also cares for the skin while it works. For example, the Apple 24K Gold Ultra Glow Cream Bleach is enriched with apple extract, which gives natural fruit acids and antioxidants to help refresh dull-looking skin.

What you need

A complete parlour pack makes the routine easy because everything comes together. The Apple 24K Gold Ultra Glow Cream Bleach Parlour Pack includes:

• Ultra Glow Creme Bleach (500ml, salon size)
• 2 activators
• Skin serum for after-care
• Baba Cosmetics BB Cream SPF 30 to finish your look

You will also need a small non-metal bowl, a spatula, a gentle face wash and a soft towel.

Step 1: Always do a patch test

Mix a tiny amount and apply it behind your ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24 hours. If you notice redness, burning or itching, do not use it on your face. A patch test is important every time you try a new bleach.

Step 2: Cleanse your face

Wash your face with a mild face wash and pat it completely dry. Bleach works best on clean, oil-free skin. Do not bleach right after threading, waxing or scrubbing, or on broken or sunburnt skin.

Step 3: Mix the bleach and activator

In a non-metal bowl, mix the bleach cream with the activator as directed on the pack. Mix only what you need for one use and use it straight away.

Step 4: Apply evenly

With the spatula, spread an even layer over your face and neck. Keep it away from your eyes, eyebrows and lips.

Step 5: How long to leave bleach on your face

Leave it on for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not leave it longer to get "extra" results, as that only increases the chance of irritation. If you feel strong burning at any point, wash it off immediately.

Step 6: Remove and rinse

Gently remove the bleach with the spatula or a damp cotton pad, then rinse your face with cool water and pat dry.

Step 7: Aftercare

Apply the skin serum from the pack to calm and soften your skin, then finish with BB Cream SPF 30 when you head out. Skin is more sensitive after bleaching, so sun protection matters. Avoid scrubs, peels and steam for the next 24 hours.

How often should you bleach?

For most people, once every 3 to 4 weeks is enough. Bleaching too often can make skin sensitive.

Planning for a wedding or event?

Bleach 2 to 3 days before the big day, not on the same day. This gives your skin time to settle so your makeup sits smoothly and your glow looks natural in photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cream bleach safe for all skin types?

The Apple 24K Gold Ultra Glow Cream Bleach is made for all skin types, but every skin is different, so always do a patch test first. If you have very sensitive skin or a skin condition, ask a dermatologist before use.

Can I go out in the sun after bleaching?

Try to stay out of strong sun for the rest of the day, and wear SPF. The BB Cream SPF 30 in the pack is ideal for this.

It is salon size, so it is great value for beauty parlours and for families who bleach regularly at home.
