The rumours, fuelled by her ever lightening skin complexion, has been ongoing for nearly a year. But the mention of her name by a US website, Atlanta Blackstar, as one of 15 black celebrities believed to be whitening their skin, moved Miss Nelson to give a response.
In a statement released this morning, the Ghanaian actress is alleged to have claimed that though her skin complexion has lightened over the years, it has absolutely nothing to do with skin bleaching.
She said: “My present skin tone is as a result of the constant use
of the famous Queen Elizabeth Cocoa Butter. About 3 years ago, I was
fortunate enough to secure a deal to be the ‘Face of Queen Elizabeth
Cocoa Butter’ and as part of the contract, I was given a lifetime supply
of the body cream. I have therefore been using this cream exclusively
for 3 years, so what you see now is the result of the goodness of Queen
Elizabeth. It has simply enhanced my natural complexion rather than
bleach it.”
Queen Elizabeth Cocoa Butter, which is the official moisturiser of
the British monarch, after whom the product is named, is rich in akomfem
oil, which is believed to have given Miss Yvonne Nelson this caramel
skin colour. It also contains vitamins A, E and F, which are essential
for nourishment and moisturising without leaving the skin greasy.Apostle Safo, a brand ambassador of Queen Elizabeth Cocoa Butter, has also jumped to Miss Nelson’s defence saying, “my caramel skin complexion like that of Yvonne, is as a result of the use of Queen Elizabeth, it has absolutely nothing to do with bleaching. Hopefully people will believe us and allow this matter to be laid to rest.”
What a perfect way to advertise a product.
