Well I was applying Hydrogen Peroxide on my skin to make it appear more pale these past few days, but I just read that it's really bad for your skin, damages it, and gives you wrinkles earlier! Is it too late to stop using it? Will my skin become saggy, disgusting and wrinkly? Oh, I hope not!

No, it just dries it out. Like was mentioned...use lotion.
After you've applied the peroxide, wash your skin gently with some Dove soap. Then slather your skin (not too much on your face though) with lotion and massage it in for 20-30 mins. Your skin will be really soft!

I doubt it. Stop now. U r one of those rare people who prefer light skin than tan. But u should be happy with the skin god have you. You probably look best in it anyway. No offence or anything but u remind me of one of those girls from the victorian era who used to do stuff to dye their skin and other dangerous stuff to look pretty.

I think it is very drying but not permanent. I used peroxide on my hair once (bad idea) and it cased my scalp and hands (from applying it) to be extremely dried out. Lotion and conditioner fixed it quickly.

If your nice and young~which I suspect you are~if you stop using it now you will be fine.
I think the only major damage is drying out your skin.
Why would you want to make yourself look paler?

peroxide does not damage the skin.
