I think the real reason why women have problem accepting their pale skin is due to the media constantly showing us perfectly bronzed women everyday. The problem is we never see pale women modeling clothes that we want to buy so we know it looks good on their tan skin, but what about our pale skin..... it's kinda like the whole overweight vs. underweight ordeal, what looks good on them might not look good on us.
I think as women we are naturally worriers, we constantly worry about everything, even if you have ten other people who are organizing something for you, you're still going to worry about it. So naturally we are going to worry about how we look, and since our skin is the largest organ we have, we know we have to take care of it. The funny thing is we use all kinds of treatments to try to save our skin to take care of it, but we still abuse it everyday, just because were not happy with it's color, or if we have a blemish or not.
There are movements for all sorts of things, bullying, obesity, abuse, everything. But not for those of us who have pale skin and feel the need to change it just because. If everyone else is allowed to be happy in their skin, why shouldn't we, it's our natural skin. It's not like we're trying to lose a hundred pounds or prove that curves are sexy. It's our skin it's natural, Why change it?
Pale skin does have many challenges, like being washed out, pink cheeks, more defined dark circles, but that also means there are many ways to help enhance our natural beauty. Because pale skin is sexy. Below are some tips to help enhance pale skin, so you can show your true beauty to the world ....... (and also some tips on protecting you skin and make-up application)......
- Blend foundation into neck so you don't get a line around the face. This will avoid a mask look.
- If the consistency of your foundation or concealer is too thick and you would like a more natural base, mix a little moisturizer with the foundation.
- Always use SPF, 365 days a year, even on rainy cloudy days harmful UVA Rays can damage your skin.
- Skin tones change as you get older. So your skin tone now may be darker or paler than it was 10 years ago. It's always a good idea to get matched for a new shade of foundation at least once a year, preferably twice so you have a summer shade and a winter shade.
- In the winter you may need a heavier moisturizer due to harsher weather conditions that may dehydrate your skin.
- Don't feel the need to compare yourself to others just because you have pale skin, while they look like an oompa-loompa. In 10 years you'll still look youthful while they'll have wrinkles and sun damaged skin.
- When applying make-up know your face structure and where you need color and highlighting at, because even though we promote pale skin, you don't want to look like a ghost.
- For special occasions when you do use bronzer, remember less is more.
- Pale skin, red lips, and a soft cat eye never go out of style.
- Feel confident in yourself, and your make-up. Self-confidence in yourself will show in the way you carry yourself.
