Popular Yoruba veteran actress Ayo Adesanya has vehemently denied the media reports circulating round the country that she is bleaching her skin. In a recent interview with a Nigerian daily newspapers, Adesanya argued that what she has is sun burns which most people confuse for skin bleaching. "No I do not bleach my skin. When you see somebody that bleaches, you will know. I have sun burns and it is not a hidden thing. I have tried a lot of things to make it fade away but it has refused and I have come to terms with it. I would never bleach my skin, a lot of people get confused about it but I don’t get bothered. I don’t owe anybody an explanation but when you meet me in person, you can always make up your mind"
Also speaking on her views about actresses that are fond of bleaching,
she said. Some people are naturally fair and the weather in Nigeria is
terrible, it is just recently that we have been experiencing cool
weather. The sun is usually very hot and it is bad for the skin. For
someone like me, a lot of people are usually confused when they see my
picture. They are quick to assume things and they do not know me
personally. When you see people in pictures, don’t be too quick to
judge, do you know how many lights are focused on the person while
taking the picture? Because of the weather in this country, there are
some lotions people use to enhance their skin and make it softer.
There
are some lotions that are not harmful but people have some
misconception. The weather is very bad and it can affect one’s skin if
care is not taken. I have friends that are fair in complexion and I know
what they go through to maintain their complexion. If you do not
maintain it, it would appear as if your skin is dirty. I don’t believe
people should bleach personally."
