I wouldn’t have cared if my skin was black- Actress, Vera Gerald

Vera Gerald preaches against skin bleaching.

Nigerian actress and advertising model, Vera Gerald has released a set of beautiful pictures that she is using to preach against skin bleaching.

In her opinion, the government should follow in the steps of Ghana to ban bleaching creams. Noting that it is not every that has a light skin that is bleached, she revealed that her light skin is natural. Anyone who bleaches to impress a guy would lose him when she has got her skin damaged.

People should be proud of whichever skin colour they have, she said.

Her post below;

Maybe the Nigerian Govt should also follow in the steps of Ghana which recently banned bleaching products in the country. It appears that these days, everyone is light skinned- even those whose mothers and fathers are charcoal black.“My light skin is natural, and i won’t have cared if it was black because I really do admire people with clean black skin as well; however it’s becoming a big embarrassment to me when I meet new people and they’re asking me, “What cream do you use, I want to have a skin as light as yours”.

I don’t know if any of you naturally light-skinned people can relate . Please, whatever skin complexion you were born with, learn to appreciate it. There is more to you than your skin colour. Being light skinned will not make you more attractive than the person with a lovely black skin.

It’s pointless trying to impress any man by bleaching, because he doesn’t want you the way God created you. If you need to bleach to impress a man and keep him, you will eventually lose him when your skin gets damaged. And your previously lovely dark skinned would have been lost for the right people to admire. God doesn’t make a mistake. Believe in yourself. #embraceyourbody.”
