This lady has faced several allegations of bleaching since her skin care product ‘whitenicious’ was released but she has always come out fighting, claiming its not a bleaching cream that is meant to turn black women into white.
In this recent interview with Ebony, she finally opens up, saying if you want the cream for bleaching purpose, it will bleach you.
EBONY: So you know there’s been a lot of buzz about you on the internet here lately.
Everybody’s talking about your new skin care line, Whitenicious.
Dencia: And I’m happy that they’re talking because my sales are skyrocketing.
EBONY: Is dark skin an obstacle?
Dencia: No. Dark skin is beautiful. Actually, I will send you pictures of when I was 16. I’m not that lighter from when I was younger, I’m not. The picture they’re passing around where I’m wearing the animal print underwear, that picture was three years ago and that was a tan.
EBONY: So…you haven’t bleached your skin, is what you’re saying? You were tan in the before pictures?
Dencia: Have I…Has my skin lightened from when…like from the past five years? Yes it has. It has. Has it drastically lightened? No it hasn’t. Is it what people are saying? No it’s not.
EBONY: I hear you, I do. And you’re right, many women of African descent, many women of color, we do suffer from hyper pigmentation. So there are lots of products on the market that work to fade out those spots, if you will. But there are also products… and you know this, especially in West Africa. We see the billboards, we see them in the markets, we see the women with all of the damage on their skin – there are products out there that are used to bleach the skin. Your product is called Whitenicious, of course people will buy it because they want to bleach.
Dencia: Ok. Will Whitenicious bleach your skin if you use it on all your skin? Yes, it will.
