Hi,
Skin lightening or bleaching products  work by reducing a pigment called melanin in the skin.  Melanin is increased in people with dark skin because of genetic makeup. Sunlight exposure, hormones, skin damage, and exposure to certain chemicals can also affect melanin production, Further studies may need to be done to determine the effect of red clay and ginger to melanin production. There are many factors to consider including the length of time bleaching agents were used, type of bleaching agents as well as your medical history. It is best that you check with your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
