Any skin product ( cream or soap) that has whitening on it.

You should not be using it

I'm very happy we are talking about Snoring.
Snoring is really a big deal.

Especially if anyone or your spouse has ever told you that occasionally when you sleep , it looks like you run out of breath, stop breathing and then the cycle continues again. Something called OSA " Obstructive sleep Apnea"

I usually advice , if you are Snoring, take it seriously and see a Doctor because so much needs to be done.

We know that OSA increases the chances of one having High blood pressure, Heart attack, Sudden death and dying in sleep, stroke and more.

We have sleep physicians who are trained to handle it.
Snoring should be taken seriously.
