A 35-year-old woman, identified as Lebogang, has shared her anguish on social media regarding the severe damage caused to her skin by bleaching creams after years of use.
Lebogang explained that her decision to bleach her skin was influenced by her friends’ lighter skin tones, which she perceived as the epitome of beauty.
Driven by the desire to attain what she believed was a more attractive appearance, she turned to various bleaching creams to lighten her complexion.
In an interview with DW’s “77 Percent,” she disclosed the extent of her obsession with achieving a lighter skin tone. “I couldn’t stop at all; I was hungry for that beauty. I even mixed the bleaching creams with my body lotion to lighten my entire body, not just my face,” Lebogang confessed.
Initially, Lebogang noticed a significant change in her complexion, describing herself as “very beautiful, light like a white woman.” However, the initial results were short-lived as she began experiencing adverse effects.
She explained, “First, I was very beautiful, light like a white woman, but after a while, the effects started, and I began feeling red and itchy, especially when exposed to the sun. My skin went completely wrong.”
Lebogang highlighted the detrimental consequences of discontinuing the use of bleaching creams. “If you stop using them, you look like a crane, you look older because you have stopped using them. They are not good at all.”
