Media personality Toke Makinwa has revealed that she regrets bleaching her skin
The actress, formerly married to Fitness Guru, Maje Ayida proceeded to calling it ‘the dumbest thing ever.’
Makinwa said this while responding to a fan’s question on X which read, “If you could go back in time, what would you do differently?”
She said, “Nothing. Regret is so exhausting!!!! Wait, maybe bleaching my skin, it was the dumbest thing ever and I’m just so thankful for good genes and money cos…”
Makinwa’s revelation led to a series of reactions in the comment section, with some applauding her for admitting her truth, and others encouraging her to “return to her natural skin tone.”
A commenter highlighted the danger of skin bleaching saying, “Thanks for sharing, people don’t know how damaging it can be to their skin and internal organs.”
“Then stop once you stop you reverse it; the only reason you’re still light skinned is cos you’re still doing it,” said another commenter.
An X user commended Makinwa saying, “This is so great coming from you, hopefully, others see this and learn before it’s too late.”
“But genuinely asking, if you decided to stop won’t you just get back your natural skin tone back? I love how your dark-skinned sister looks and I think that’s how you looked as well. Anyway, you look beautiful now still, just think it might be exhausting,” a curious fan inquired.
