Not long ago, Khanyi Mbau took to her Instagram stories to announce that she would be going dark again. Khanyi said that she was tired of using the products in the market hinting that they were becoming too dangerous. However, in this week’s latest episode of “The Art of Skin Lightening,” Khanyi says that she will be getting back to the skin lightening game very soon.
Khanyi went on to ask her fans what they wanted her to address on the next episode of skin lightning and they responded in multitudes, with many of them asking questions ranging from what products are the best to use to even why she decided to bleach her skin. In response, she said, “Same way you bleach your hair, wear a blonde wig, add lashes to your African eyelid or add extension to your naturally short African hair.”

The latest episode also sees her continue to give tips on the right way to bleach your skin but still insists on the fact that women should be able to appreciate their dark skin and not feel the need to change their appearance. Ironic much? The actress also goes ahead to mention that skin lightening is a party trick. An expensive face beat you will eventually have to wash off as it is not permanent.
When asked whether or not she will be going to skin lightening or whether she is taking a permanent break, Khanyi responds by saying that she is back in the field but that Dubai makes it hard to keep her complexion. This can only mean that she will not be going dark again as she had previously announced.
Khanyi also went on ahead to share her journey in skin lightening. How it started and how the process has been so far.
“It started out as a quick solution to sunburns when I used to drive my Peugeot 206 cc I played Doobsie then I was out of continuity coz I was very dark from the sun, bought a cheap bleaching cream it did wonders so I enjoyed my ride and didn’t p_ss off production.
A few months into this new hack, I liked my lighter look it made me feel rich and I was getting all the compliments on my glow-up! Ego booster. I then fell in love with the girl in the mirror and chose this packaging for brand Khanyi like Beyonce chose her big fan in stage.
To sun it up the journey has been cool but with great difficulty that none of you should have to face coz nobody wants to address this issue and this is an age-long game.”

Would Khanyi encourage someone to lighten their skin because they feel they are too dark? On that, she says, “No! But I will encourage you to be the image you have set for yourself! Remember this body stays here! YOU ARE NOT UR BODY!”
