Social media personality Diaso has addressed long-running claims that he bleached his skin, insisting that the noticeable change in his complexion is the result of taking better care of his skin rather than using skin-lightening products.
Speaking during an interview with Prince Newton, Diaso said many people had reached conclusions without knowing what was happening behind the scenes.
‘I Have Not Bleached My Skin’
The conversation began after Prince Newton asked Diaso whether the rumours about him bleaching his skin were true or merely social media speculation.

Diaso responded by saying people are often quick to speak about issues they do not fully understand.
“Many people talk without knowing the facts. A person’s skin can change for different reasons. They could be ill, they could have bleached, or something else could be happening. But speaking without knowing the truth is the problem.”
He then firmly denied ever bleaching his skin.
“Let me tell the truth first. I have not bleached my skin.”
He Says Skincare, Not Bleaching, Changed His Look
Prince Newtonpointed out that old and recent photographs show a noticeable difference in Diaso’s complexion and asked what he believes caused people to think he had become lighter.
Diaso dismissed suggestions that it was due to camera quality or lighting. Instead, he explained that his appearance changed after he began taking proper care of his skin.
According to him, he previously paid little attention to skincare and even lived with acne without seeking treatment.
“Back then, I never took care of myself. I didn’t care whether my skin was smooth. Even when I had acne, I left it untreated.”
He added that spending long hours outdoors also affected his skin.
“I was always exposed to the sun.”
Girlfriend Helped Him Start a Routine
Diaso revealed that his girlfriend encouraged him to start looking after his skin and guided him through the process of treating his acne.
He clarified, however, that he does not use commercial skincare products or skin-lightening creams.
Instead, he said he relies on natural methods.
“I don’t use those creams. There are no products I use. Some people prefer natural methods like scrubbing with lemon, using homemade face masks with eggs and other natural ingredients.”
‘I’ve Been Doing This for Six Months’
Diaso also noted that many people commenting on his appearance only started following him recently and are unaware of the gradual changes he has undergone.
He said the skincare routine has not been a recent development but something he has maintained consistently.
“I’ve been doing this for six months. I’ve been taking care of myself for six months.”
His remarks come amid continued public discussion on skin bleaching among celebrities and influencers, with Diaso maintaining that in his case, improved skincare—not bleaching—is behind the change in his appearance.
