You wouldn\u2019t catch anyone selling a cream with the words \u2018Skin Bleaching\u2019 anymore and this is because, we\u2019ve aggressively tainted this phrase, killing the business around those two words.<\/p>\n<p>However, the desperate and shrewd manufacturers have adopted various industry synonymous and as such,  today\u2019s bleaching creams are inconspicuously called \u2018Skin Whitening\u2019, \u2018Skin Brightening\u2019, \u2018Skin Toning\u2019, \u2018Skin Lightening\u2019  \u2018Skin Polishing\u2019 and sometimes \u2018Skin Flourishing.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a smart disguise but mostly, the ingredients remain the same and commonly found in these creams is; hydroquinone. \u201cIn human medicine, hydroquinone is used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the color of skin. This use is banned in some countries, including the member states of the European Union under Directive 76\/768\/EEC:1976.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actress-Juliet Ibrahim is of mixed parentage and I\u2019ve heard several rumours that most of our mixed race celebrities stationed in Ghana continuously fiddle with their skin tones, so to remain excessively light\u2014despite the scorching sun and the burning weather.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Carotone_image_.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCarotone<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we cannot for a fact prove that Juliet Ibrahim does this and I don\u2019t think she does\u2014but what we can boldly do is to condemn her endorsement of bleaching creams such as the above-Carotone, being retailed by Gandour in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pathetic to come across a bleaching celebrity but for one to boldly become a poster girl for a bleaching cream; that is diabolical, insensitive and grossly callous\u2014considering the fact that we have a large population of uneducated Ghanaians who would just buy these products for the mere fact Juliet Ibrahim is on there.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how much they paid Juliet Ibrahim and I do not care to know\u2014else, I would have asked her. However, I am offensively disappointment to see a mother of one, a well-established name with several young followers having seemingly relegated her conscience into the gutters, for the sake of money.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carotone_image_1_.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p>She may be offended by this post\u2014but a friend is the one who calls your BS in your face.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, we\u2019ve had Kafui Danku endorsing the bleaching cream-Fair &amp; White. And when we \u2018trashed\u2019 her up here for the deserving blast, she came up with the defense that she did not know F&amp;W was a bleaching cream. My cat even knows this\u2014and equally, you don\u2019t need to be a Dermatologist to know that Caro-TONE, is a damn bleaching cream.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting and yet stupid that the billboard makes no sense to any smart person\u2014it looks like a collection of oxymorons.  How can a billboard selling Carotone feature expressions like #LoveYourSelf and that is if you did not find the phrase \u2018Natural Light\u2019 on Carotone\u2019s billboard distasteful.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carotone_image2_.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Surely, people must eat, especially those with families to feed\u2014but humanity deserves that, we take into consideration those we influence with our positions when our actions are more likely to sway their choices.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a current ban in Ghana on Ghanaian Celebrities advertising alcoholic beverages, then there ought to be a similar ban for those selling and advertising bleaching creams\u2014even if we present such creams as toning creams.<\/p>\n<p>Toning creams, Brightening creams, Lightening creams, Whitening creams and Flourishing creams\u2014the value is the same. They are all f**king bleaching creams\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/carotone_bleaching_.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 38 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 19 October 2017 Source: ghanacelebrities.com 2017-10-19 Carotone is said to contain ingredients that are applied to whiten the skin &#13;
