PHOTOS! Sammy Sosa is using bleaching cream on his face. Here again are Before and After pictures of Sammy Sosa. The Sammy Sosa skin lightening pictures before his bleaching cream confession hit LALATE a week ago.

Today, the net reaction to Sammy Sosa’s story is still not lightening up. On Tuesday, the Sammy Sosa skin bleaching cream reaction went into overdrive, despite Sosa’s choice to give the exclusive interview to a lesser seen broadcast tv show, Univision’s “Primer Impacto” with Tony Dandrades.

Nevertheless, by Wednesday the confession was everywhere – that Sosa is using a bleaching cream on his face. But Sosa still said the pictures are deceiving saying “flashes (from the cameras) also made my skin look lighter”. But as you see above, while Sammy looks different before and after, his wife Sonia does not.

And if the story seemed strange enough, Sosa took another turn, revealing he’s in talks to be a spokesperson for the cream. The question remains  – now that you see Sosa’s face,  would even consider using the … bleaching cream … yourself.

Sosa still has not identified the cream that bleached his skin.

“I use a cream to keep my skin smooth and soft. I apply it before I go to bed. When I was playing for Chicago all those years, I was in the sun a lot for 1 o’clock games. … I’m surprised with the controversy this has caused.”

Sosa says the product is a bleaching cream.

“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften (my skin), but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.”

Despite his use of a bleaching cream, and showing up at the Latin Grammys pre Awards telecast shades lighter then months before, Sosa says he’s surprised he got attention over his face.

“I’m doing well, doing well, thanks to God. A little surprised by the tsunami of attention.”

But did admit to using fake colored eye contacts to make his eyes green last week – “[I wanted to ] try something different. I’m not trying to be superficial.”

When asked if he’s trying to be like Michael Jackson, Sosa said: “Not at all, I respect him very much. I’m not a racist. I’m not like that. I’m just a happy person.”
