Susan Maxwell: Bleaching Is Not Leaving Soon

by Chinwe Okafor

Well this is a gospel according to Yoruba actress Susan Maxwell.

The self acclaimed skin specialist explained to The Nation why she bleached her skin and why most Nigerian women are changing their skin tone [and why it would never stop- at least for now].

She started by saying, “Many people are of the opinion that light-skinned ladies are more attractive, and everything they wear shows off better and that is why I am here to help people enhance their complexion.”

She is here to help. Why? “I used to be very dark; I never thought I could become as fair as I am. I did it because I want to practice what I preach. I want them to see me and be blown away, especially those who knew me when I was dark. Because what I’m giving people isn’t something that would damage their skin but repair their skin, I use it on myself as well. If I wasn’t in this line of business, I probably wouldn’t have toned my skin at all. I don’t call it bleaching. I call it skin restoration.”

Repairing of skin though…isn’t it merely the act of altering one’s original skin complexion and simply that? Apparently not, and her clients aren’t limited to her mates. Young(er) people wish to engage in the act as well. It is all about giving you what you want for Susan, “Most of my clients are above 18, and if they want to be white, I give them what they want. Black is beautiful, but I have no qualms with enhancing your complexion. 80% of Nigerian men want their women to be fair. They want a lady that draws attention to them. I’ve worked with many married women who complain of their men staring at fair women and they say to me, “Susan, make me fair, I want to be attractive to my man!”

If you say so, Susan. If you say so.
