Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda has blasted skin bleachers in a recent interview with the Punch.

According to the actress, it is a stupid idea for someone to use whitening and bleaching chemicals which at the end of the day will have a dire consequence on the person.

The actress spoke against the use of such chemicals as it is very harmful to the skin—and called those who patronize skin bleaching products senseless.

She said; “I think it is stupid and silly to bleach your skin. It is a problem, a big one. I think it is really bad and it shows that women who do it lack self confidence. If you think about what would happen in the long run, you would refrain from such act. It does not make any sense. If you want to look beautiful, eat healthy and moisturize your skin. If you use moisturizers, it would help your skin to glow”.

Monalisa’s first major movie was Pregnant Virgin in 1996 and since then has starred in several others.

In 2007 her road to stardom kicked off with an appearance in the television soap-Heaven’s Gate.

She debuted as Executive Producer in a Royal Arts Academy movie, ‘Kiss & Tell’ in 2011, which Emem Isong co-produced with her, Desmond Elliott was the director.
