Bridget Achieng reveals the amount she spent to ‘lighten’ her skin, we are talking about millions!
Image: Bridget AchiengThe skin lightening business has become pretty much successful in Africa. Many women bleach or rather skin lighten their skin with products they know nothing about just to look ‘beautiful’ in the eyes of men who like light skinned women.
After Vera Sidika confessed to have undergone a Ksh50 million procedure to alter her skin… many women rushed to the river road shops hoping to achieve the same look but only at a cheaper price.
So does it work?
Well, for some women I hear it does work but not permanent since one has to keep going back to use the skin products to avoid getting back their original skin-tone.
Anyway Bridget Achieng is among those women who have altered their skin-tones to look beautiful. She confessed about this while speaking on Dr Ofweneke’s show where she revealed the amount of money she used to achieve her new skin-tone.
“I have lost count right now but the last time I checked it was close to 3 Million Kshs or so. It’s part of my life you to accept and sit down and decide you wanna do this. You don’t just wake up and decide you wanna do a skin tan.”
According to her she did this because she never felt pretty while growing since her parents never took time to appreciate her.
“From when I was a kid I never felt beautiful because African parents never tell you that you are beautiful. I never felt loved as a kid, I will be honest. So I thought if I do it I would feel beautiful…I don’t regret anything and the attention it comes with it keeps me going.”
Bridget Achieng also went on to add that she would advise any lady who feel like bleaching to go ahead and do it. She said
“I would advise any girl (to bleach). Men will tell you to stay like that then the next day you see them in a restaurant with a light skinned girl.”
