Before she started using the whitening soap, she swore that she would one day go back to her right complexion.

However, along the line, she became so addicted to her radiant and glowing bleached skin which made getting her dark complexion back difficult.

Seven years afterwards, she summoned the courage to stop bleaching and it took her about four months to start getting her complexion back.

As she began her journey, her knuckles became very dark and her face changed, making her look like she was suffering.

At some points in her journey, she contemplated returning to bleaching her skin but never did.

After four months of battling with ill-looking skin, she got her complexion back and started glowing as a dark lady.

She said:

“The reason I did not go through excessive havoc was because I did not bleach with cream. I was using soap and that was why I was able to correct my skin.
