Before she started using the whitening soap, she swore that she would one day regain her natural complexion.

However, she became addicted to her radiant, 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.

She contemplated returning to bleaching her skin at some point in her journey but never did.

After four months of battling ill-looking skin, she regained her complexion and started glowing like 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.
