I always wanted to be tanned. I would sit outside in the sun for hours, i would try tanning creams but using those i just felt so fake. I'm the most pale out of all my friends. people tell me im pretty but i still wished i had a nice tan. But i just want to accept the way i am but how can i?
We're all different. In India, they advertise cream to make you more pale, and people try all sorts of crazy things to make their skin lighter.
Among Black Americans, you have all sorts of literature and more that supports bias against those with darker skin tone...as there is a huge degree of variance, among every cultural group I've ever seen, some are darker and some lighter.
I envy darker skin, too, b/c you don't sun burn as fast...but, seeing my kids grow up, one much darker than the other, and hearing their constant comments (they're 8 and 9, now, both boys) about I'm more like mommy, or I'm more like daddy...you realize that it doesn't matter. You can't love yourself based on how you look, as that changes...wrinkles, gray hair...puberty :) Etc. Self worth, intrinsic value, can't be based on the appearance of a person.
I'm paler than anyone I know, including my ginger friends. I really like it, and I've been told I look like a doll and that my skin glows in the sunlight and it makes me look like an angel :)
If people tell you you're pretty, then I'm sure you look gorgeous in you pale skin :) Pale is healthier too, as long as you use good sunscreen.
Remember, there are people in other countries that would literally kill for soft, pale skin. So appreciate it! :D
I laugh it off. Always been whiter than white, and I don't tan worth crap, just go from white, to lobster red, back to white with lots of pain in between. So I gave up trying to tan, and just make jokes about how white I am :P.
i'm pale naturally and i just remember its beautiful. you age better if your pale as well. back centuries ago, in europe, many people thought pale skin was the most attractive thing.
well you could still embrace what you are but still use some products to achieve a natural looking glow like a lotion even just for the face!!
Pale skin is beautiful!! Just remember that you'll be like a porcelain doll :) and they're pretty XD
I think pale skin is pretty:) Just own it and people will think its pretty.
indeed...
