For those of you who speculated that Sammy Sosa was bleaching his skin and that it was not a skin rejuvenation process, you were right. He will not release what he's using. But I guess Mono mixed with something else?

Here's the article and I enclosed a link to the article underneath:

Sammy Sosa Admits to Bleaching Skin

Although he’s still being vague about his reasons, baseball legend Sammy Sosa confessed to Univision (via the NY Post) that he has been bleaching his skin. "It's a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed. . . . I use [it] to soften [my skin], but [it] has bleached me some," he admitted.

Sosa shocked fans when he showed up at the Latin Grammys last week looking like a completely different person, complete white skin and green eyes. He insists, however, that the lights from the camera made him look a lot lighter than he actually is. "I'm not a racist. I live my life happily . . . I don't think I look like Michael Jackson,” he said.

Sosa, who turns 41 tomorrow, declined to indentify the name of the bleaching cream he’s been using.

If he has now admitted to bleaching, I wonder why the secrecy as to what he was using...

Yeah, he might as well say what the active ingredients are and which country.
Just because people lighten doesn't mean that they are racists or "trying to look like MJ". I wonder has people been saying this to him?

I'm sure people have been saying this to him. And I don't like the fact that he threw Michael Jackson under the bus like that. How is Michael's family supposed to feel when they hear that?

Yes people have been making this insinuation in the blogs. And also Michael did not lighten his skin this drastically in the course of 6 months, so I would never even think to make this comparison myself, but of course Michael Jackson has unfortunately become the poster child for bleachers everywhere.

The fact that he hasn't said what product(s) he used, says everything.

He is still shopping around for what to say.

If he used Hq or Mono, these transient results are likely to backfire later on, anyway.

Despite his heavy wallet.

I respect the fact that he made a public confession to having bleached at all, even though it's no one's business (except all of his hopelessly devoted fans that have grown up with him) and I would never expect any celebrity to give a free endorsement to a product that they are using, hence why admit it if you are not getting paid to promote it? That is the mentality of most celebrities; seldom do they think "let me give this product a plug so maybe it will help other bleachers around the world." Get real lol.

So he doesn't want to help other "bleachers" out there! What a selfish son of a gun! LOL!!

Ha Ha Ha...

We all knew he was bleaching anyway.LOL. He couldn't hide it. No one believed his laser rejuvenation story.

Lol

Only because the general public was already calling him a LIAR with his first false confession about laser!

To me its equivalent of a celebrity going from brunette, to blonde, showing up at an event, and denying they have gone blonde!

Yeh but imagine all the female celebrities that get called out for having breast implants and they either deny it (even though we know its true) or don't respond at all. People in the public eye get called out on a lot of crap but very few actually tell the truth about it, so I still commend him for that, even though it is no one's business.

Yeah. I would definitely have to agree. These results came way toooo fast. I fear for his backfire.

I don't know. I mean Vicky D seemed PRETTY CONVINCED. Lmfao. Sorry. Had to.

I guess Im going through a Sammy these days.. lol, I had to slow down even further with the lightening because I'm lightening too fast and my hands and arms still haven't caught up yet (although they are beginning to peel a little now). My family and also a neighbor yesterday had did a double takeand/or were staring too hard in my face. I didn't like that. My mom asked "are you using bio claire again?", I said no it's something else.. w/out the steroids though. So now I cut back to once every other night so that it will be more gradual and people will have more time to adjust slowly instead of a swift change.

What products do you use

I'm just using the hq and retin-a for the face, arms, and hands. 55h+ christaline glycerine for the neck and likas papaya soap

Oh wow. Lol at them doing a double take! But who cares! Once the peeling as stopped, you'll be a beautiful swan! I'm so excited for you!

Lol... thanks! The patches are almost gone and close to one uniform color, less noticeable. They'll eventually stop staring... I hope. I was trying to think if I want to go as light as my sis since she is Alicia Keys color (when Alicia is at her lightest). I think I would prefer the more tanned Alicia or Beyonce. So, maybe I'll reach by Feb.

I think sammy's color looks bad though... it looks like he was wearing the wrong color make up lol... and not even like he was bleaching... maybe it's cause he just doen't have very good smooth skin in general... but I'm not trying to sound like a hater... I just wish the stars would share what they are doing, and using... jerks

I just wish that he and his wife would also use better contact lenses... those in the grammy photos are way bad.. both of them have enough money to get the best.. I love these at fxeyes.com

He says he plans on marketing the product, not sure if he was joking.
He said it was a cream from Europe, I can't even think of a European product that could do that:confused:
The YouTube interview of him was not bad, it was the picture that shocked so many people.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-mXNvTbYjUU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-mXNvTbYjUU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Oh he doesn't look to bad there!
Just a bit uneven haha

Yeah now I believe the lighting and the makeup made him look more blotchy in the photo, but he really fixed himself up for the interview, looks a lot better IMO.

Airbrushed! (paint)

His makeup person must have been on vacation that other picture day

:)

It would be interesting if he marketed the skin lightening product that he used... might as well just make more money and make a product very popular.

The video says he will start marketing the cream... but I really doubt he will sell what he used.. I can only imagine what he used is prescrotion level strength... so don't get your hopes up...

Oh yeah and I take it back, he doesn't look bad for theinterview.. LOL.. but for some reason I actually thought that Sammy was cute dark... some guys are much mire handsome that way and he was one of them...

Yes he already looks like he is lying so much about everything, his skin could be messed up from whatever he really used and no one would know because of all the makeup.

To me he looks more attractive with his dark complexion, and his new color does not look too nice looking and blotchy. Possibly he could have used a slightly darker makeup to cover on his face?

I'm curious, why does his wife stand like that?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2009-11/50442734.jpg

She's got on one of those ill corset things... that's why... LOL.. I think she should just let it out... she isn't fat and she's ethnic... so she isn't held to the "Skinny" is better standards... besides she's still married to a millionaire.. if it were me... everyone could hate on me... with my chubb and all happy married to a rich guy... LOL...

Lol.. she is a nice size, but I wasn't sure if someone taught her to pose and stand like that. Like holding her breath?

Sosa luks better than he ever has!

The moment he reveals his bleach cream, some of the people who are criticising him will secretly start using the same cream.

He lukd rather unattractive with his dark colour. Not because dark is unattractive but because his colour was uneven, his pores looked large in his pictures, his under eyes were even darker, and his forehead has dark lighter uneven tones when he was darker.. His skin always lukd DULL and never GLOWED!

Dark skin luks BEautiful when it glows and is even . His skin was far from that then!

And this is the best alternative when your skin doesn't glow, go get lightened and you'd compensate a little for the dull jaded look !

Id run to his bleaching treatment in a SECOND ! And I believe that the people criticising him will run for it too ( well maybe not all of them but most ) in no time if he reveals it!

You know.. I agree.. with you.. he did have pretty bad skin I put earlier I liked him better dark.. and I maintain that he looks better dark.. he's a little creepy now... but I disagree in that His light looks is better on him.. (Know what I mean?. He personally looks better as a dark guy... but definitely his light skin is so much clearer and grighter and nicer and less dull and his pores certainly are nicer... I guess.. if he could have gotten his dark skin nice then he would have been the best! But I don't know if that is even possble without some lightening agents cause he'd literally have to pull off so many layers to even it all out... then of course he would lighten...

He wasn't lying I guess when he said a rejuvenation process.. LOL

Too bad I doubt he will sell the stuff he's using... we all know what he's using ain't OTC... LOL... so we're out of luck

lol..she is a nice size, but I wasnt sure if someone taught her to pose and stand like that. like holding her breath?

Yeah I think she is posing... apparently from what I've heard there are even classes that teach you red carpet poses and ettiqutte so you photograph better... it's funny but I've heard it's actually really hard... at least to look natural doing it... some peopl do really well, for example, Beyonce manages to get some great red carpet shots, and even Paris hilton gets good ones... but Tyra.. doen't do it well ironically, cause she's the one who makes a living in front of a camera... and Kim K does well red carpet too...

I really wish I could be Sosa's wife's complexion... but it would be too drastic for me... my whole fam would definitely know and do something like check me into a looney bin claming I hated myself... LOL

Lmao... well, I'm seriously considering moving to another part of the States abound Feb. or March because I'm tiered already of my fam giving me bizarre looks and ask me what I'm using. I don't like being stared at in a crazy and curious way, it gets under my skin. Well, Sosa's wife should get a new coach because her poses look too silly. She looks better when she is not trying to pose.

His real wife couldn't make it so he had those people from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum make a statue for him. That's what's really going on! LOL!

Are you serious? :confused: That man looks an absolute fool with that bleached skin! I think he went too far... I think lightening to a subtle glow is cool but that whole bleached out look is the pits. He skin looks splotchy and his dark circles around his eyes are even more noticeable. That is not a good look at all. :rolleyes:

You can not even begin to tell me that the ugly contact wearing, bleached out, splotchy faced man on the right looks better than the sexy chocolate man on the left. :confused:

Absolutely not Sammy... you look the fool! :eek:

Applebeee, I thought you said you had an appointment with Michael Jackson's dermatologist this past summer... I doubt Sammy is sitting up reading our comments here, then again you never know.. lol

You are so right. This look may look well on someone else, but Sammy was a handsome man before he made the big revision. His new face is more uneven than before, and his fair tone only exposes the flaws in his skin, now it is very blotchy, dull, and lifeless. There is absolutely no glow to his skin. It is an unnatural fair tone he had reached.

No way in hell would I run out and buy the product he used because those are not the results that I want and I will continue to talk down on what ever he used because he no longer looks his best... he used to look waaaaay better than that. I want natural, even, glowing complexion. I do believe over time that he will fix the flaws and let his skin tone down to a more natural appearance that will fit him. Everyone does not look hot light. Besides, the contacts look too creepy, similar to the Twilight vamps.

lmao...well, I'm seriously considering moving to another part of the States abound Feb. or March because I'm tiered already of my fam giving me bizarre looks and ask me what I'm using.

I definitely agree with you on that one! My goodness. When I first started bleaching my immediate family didn't look at me crazy. But like everyone else oh my goodness. They were bombarding my parents with questions. It's so annoying. Mind your business. And now that my skin is pretty and even now they all want to give me compliments and tell me I'm pretty. Losers.

Yesterday morning The Today Show had a segment on skin bleaching, (Why are people bleaching their skin) no doubt thanks to Mr. Sosa lol

They were in London and I saw bottles of the usual creams, Fair and White, Fair and Lovely. They also showed clips of Fair and Lovely skin lightening commercials.

Charles Barkley having light makeup applied to skin on ESPN talking about Sammy Sosa "your not going to get into the hall of fame because your white" You know Charles couldn't keep his big mouth shut. Lol He's already light skinned what does he care?

An Indian women getting laser treatments to get lighter. That's what the dermatologist thought Sammy might have used in combination with skin lightening creams and chemical peels.

They showed an African lady who has been bleaching for 15 years, her skin was not bad, it still looked good. A reporter asked her can't you be black and beautiful? The African lady said sure you can be black and beautiful but some people want to be light chocolate.

In the end Matt Lauer liked the way Sammy Sosa looked before the lighening.

I think that people are mistaking Sosa's five o'clock shadow/facial hair for uneven skin tone. I think his skin looks fine now, actually.

I don't think it actually matters what Matt Laur prefers in terms of Sosa's looks by the way, lol. Who cares? It's about how Sammy feels about himself. If he feels good looking and confident like this, then good for him!

Anyway I can't wait for him to reveal what he used, I will definitely buy it. It looks like mono to me but more refined and he did not go to the extreme as other mon user's have in the past, but if the cream if affordable I will buy it for sure

Sammy never had great skin to begin with. If you look at his before photos, he always had uneven, and blemished skin, now he's has lighter imperfect looking skin

If you see him in motion his skin actually looks good and its glowing. Just go on YouTube. I think the flash from the cameras just made him look bad

One thing I will say is he looks like a completely different person! It looks like he even straightened his hair!

You go Sammy Sosa! There's hope for me yet! Sammy if you are reading this post, you need to get in touch with me so you can tell me where to buy that cream! I'm sure your results will improve in time..

Best Wishes to you Sammy Sosa, You look much younger and Vibrant!

Email me!

HAHAHAHA email me?

I'm sorry to break it to you but... I highly doubt Sammy Sosa is visiting these forums.

The think that makes Sammy Sosa
Creepy, its because of his contact lenses,
And agree he never had good skin to begin with.

yeah, he might as well say what the active ingredients are and which country.
Just because people lighten doesn't mean that they are racists or "trying to look like MJ". I wonder has people been saying this to him?

I hate when people say trying to look fair is being racist!What is that? So is tanning too synonymous to being racist? Or... No?
What a beautiful world we live in!

You know I'm surprised everyone is like " oh i respect him for admitting he bleached in public"

C'mon guys, let me know how many of you are going to admit to bleaching once you succeed in public.

Nobody will:
Because they want to keep the secret for themselves once they succeed
People will start stating that its just the bleach that got you pretty.

So why hyprocrisy? If I were a celeb and I bleached, hell Id say anything to anyone. Id do the Michael Jackson denial episode which he did for years!
