Show Notes
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

SESSION 2 FEATURES: Dr. Uzoamaka Iloabachie: Medical Director, Skintisfaction Dermatology & Aesthetic Clinic Dr. Faiza Saduki: Consultant Dermatologist, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Dr. Chukwuka Ifeanyi Robert: Consultant Dermatologist, UNTH Enugu This conversation is not about policing choices.
