Actress Nkiru Sylvanus Says - "I Don’t Bleach; I Only Use Right Cream"

Fair skinned Nollywood actress, Nkiru Sylvanus , says she does not bleach her skin but that she uses the right cream to maintain her skin tone. Pictured right is a picture the actress shared on her Instagram page 4 weeks ago.

Left is a picture she shared in 2014. Below is what she told Punch correspondent when asked if she tones her skin to look this fair;

When you are fair, you have to go extra mile to take care of your skin because if you don’t take care of your skin, you would look dull and dirty. A fair skin needs a lot to make it stay beautiful. It is not like that for a dark complexioned person. 

You wouldn’t really need to do much for your skin to glow. The sun in Nigeria is so much and you can tan easily. So if you don’t use the appropriate body cream, your skin would turn brown and you would get sunburns. For me, all I do is to use the appropriate body cream. I don’t think I would want to bleach for anything in the world. It is not only because bleaching is bad; it is harmful to the body. I use good cream and I try as much as possible to avoid being under the sun.

She also opened up about her aversions for tattoos;

That is a triple no for me. I can never go there. I love my skin so much and I wouldn’t want any artificial thing on it. Most importantly, I see that as against the will of God. I respect God and since He said I shouldn’t do such, I will not do it. Then again, I don’t like the sight of it on people. I just don’t like the drawings on people’s bodies.
