Awareness Times
Skin bleaching is not only a disgrace to our true African identity but also a bundle of medical complications that are prone to skin cancer the old-age killer disease.

Skin bleaching in Sierra Leone has now become an added symbol and flavour to the so-called “beauty” of our teenage girls and adult women. Most of them are now like a living corpse walking around and only awaiting to be awarded the fatal price from skin cancer the killer disease. ur Sierra Leonean men who bank-roll this exercise are now sick and tired of the financial burden.
