Skin bleaching has been normalized for decades, in homes, salons, markets, and across social media. But what many people still see as “just skincare” is, in reality, a serious health issue.

In partnership with Eucerin, Tea With Tay hosted a live panel conversation as part of the #SayNoToBleaching campaign, an advocacy-led discussion focused on education, prevention, and healthy skin practices without shame or judgement.

Across two powerful sessions, leading dermatologists from across Nigeria break down:

-What actually qualifies as skin bleaching

-The most common ingredients and hidden risks

-Short-term and long-term health complications

-The myths people still believe

-The role of colorism and cultural pressure

-Youth, social media, and rising early exposure

-Prevention strategies and safe skincare habits

Dr. Cynthia Ebie: Consultant Dermatologist, Deputy Clinical Director, General Hospital Lagos

Prof. Altraide Daseltima: President, Nigerian Association of Dermatology (NAD)

SESSION 2 FEATURES:

Dr. Uzoamaka Iloabachie: Medical Director, Skintisfaction Dermatology & Aesthetic Clinic

This conversation is not about policing choices. It’s about understanding risks, unlearning harmful beauty standards, and choosing health from a place of knowledge.

Healthy skin isn’t about changing who you are.

It’s about caring for what you already have.
