I tend to pick up a little colour naturally on my arms and face even when I'm wearing a high SPF in the summer - just from being out and about but my legs are always always pale, so I do tend to add a little fake colour to them - nothing too orange, just to take the "glow" off! I envy those who are comfortable with their pale skin as I'm not. Good for you :)Shopgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713994074839705099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353334820627334669.post-23582009300420318202010-09-27T15:14:35.752-07:002010-09-27T15:14:35.752-07:00Wonderful post!

Sometimes I think I've got it - but then I see my face in the sunlight and realize it's a different shade from my neck. And back to square 1.<br /><br />I've gotten my fair share of teasing - most of it is good natured, but some of it wasn't. In college my roommates all went tanning, and when they asked me why I didn't it almost sounded like they were equating it with not brushing my teeth or combing my hair - like it was a general body care ritual that was unthinkable to skip!<br /><br />Cloud of Secrets - I think you're so right about the contrasting colors.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840377765937929376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353334820627334669.post-56228787767475769732010-09-26T11:40:54.156-07:002010-09-26T11:40:54.156-07:00Beautiful, encouraging post!

I'm ghostly pallid myself -- never had the urge to damage my skin in booths or hot sunlight, but did spend some uncomfortable months as a young teen trying streaky orange self-tanners in the late 80s.<br /><br />The trick, I think, is to really *work* it -- to strive for the smoothest, velvety creaminess, to cultivate a beautiful contrasting hair color (rich brown, black, vivid red tones, or even an ethereally pale blonde, I suppose), and to build a wardrobe of flattering rich colors, too. Medium Pepto-Bismol pink is not for me, but perhaps the deepest fuschia is, or a pale cameo pink as long as I accent it with deep brown or black. I'm still working on all this, believe me...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036079336754189268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353334820627334669.post-1875758551540263932010-09-26T06:57:03.262-07:002010-09-26T06:57:03.262-07:00GREAT post!

Embrace your fairness and use a lot of sunscreen.

In high school and college I was a tanorexic (although never as bad as poor Snookie) and I shiver to think of the irreversible damage I did to my skin. Through the last few years, I started to embrace my natural fairness, and I don't go out in the sun without a liberal slathering of SPF. My skin looks and feels better than ever, and I know it's better for me in the long run.

I hate tanning and also am very fond of cremes and lotions with lots of spf in it. It's SO damaging to your skin, it's seems so ignorant for people to claim it gives them a 'healthy' glow when its far from that!Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02908497586413421386noreply@blogger.com
