A video of a lady rubbing an unknown black substance on her legs with the aim of getting clearer skin has surfaced on social media and sparked reactions.

In the video, the lady could be seen deeply rubbing enough quantity of the black substance on her two legs before wash it off with water to unveil a lighter complexion.

Massive reactions greeted the clip, while many criticised it as harmful, some noted that it is a normal charcoal procedure which they are familiar with.

Reacting, @Aluwa Joy wrote: “No matter how person bleach, him handpit, yansh, toto and blockos no go ever cooperate oooo.”

According to an Instagram user @Gouu2u, ‘the black substance is a charcoal mixture‘. He added: “It is an old procedure and technique for whitening the skin.”

@Ada Mbaise: “That is just a charcoal body scrub he/she is washing off.. the skin didn’t get fair in a split second, that’s even if the person hasn’t always been fair. It’s just a normal skincare routine 😏.”
