No one can convince me Mihlali isn’t creaming her skin

She’s beeen looking pink. But I don’t think it’s intentional bleaching. It’s those brightening skin care products and IV treatments.

It is those drips she’s taking. She had a breakout I think earlier this year and decided to go to some “skin specialist” and well it seems like it is turning her pink.

Definitely bleached…. He knuckles on her hands are a mismatch in colour to the rest of her body and skin…

She really cooked her skin. You have to look at her longer to recognise her 😭😭😭…She’s pink now.
