When will pale skin be IN?

I love my skin. I began appreciating it because people kept complimented me a lot about my face being so clear and acne free. I’ve done simple things to take care of it for years now. I use moisturizer everyday about 3 times per day. I try not to be on the sun unless I need to. I wear 50 SPF sun block everyday on summers. I use the L’Oreal anti wrinkle cream for men for 2 years already. I use the Nivea cream for men for puffiness under the eyes. I think it shows because no one believes I’m 25.


Because I avoid the sun, I have a very pale color, which to me it’s healthy because I know my skin is well taken care of. I see people who tan, and I see damaged skin. Why is tanned supposed to be healthy? It’s actually damaged by sun.





When is taking care of your skin going to be the new fad?

When will pale skin be IN?
I have a friend who has used moisturizers and such for years. When he started, he had to use whatever was in the medicine cabinet because there were no such products aimed at men. He started in his late teens and is now in his late 40's. He looks about 30. Keep up the good work. It will show in time and you'll look younger than everyone else your age.


I also have extremely pale skin. "Pasty white chick" is what I call myself but the truth is I think it is better to be what you are than to try to use chemicals to cover it up. I am 36 and I never used foundation or face powder and very little other cosmetics. I look pretty darn good, even if I do say so myself. Everyone thinks my 10 year old son is my little brother. It's great. He loves the look on his friends faces when he says, "No, that's my mom."


Natural is in right now (hurray for those of us who have persevered) Look how pale Scarlett Johansen is, for example.


Enjoy it while it lasts. Another week and something else will be in style.
Reply:actually the new trend is your natural skin. no one on the red carpet wears the fake tanner anymore. appreciate your skin for what it is. check out pictures of the latest red carpet events!
Reply:I have pale skin to and some people are like tanning bed crazy i would not lay in a tanning bed they are bad bad for skin and so is to much sun why cant people just be happy.but i love the color of my skin and its nice to see a guy who really takes care of him self
Reply:I have very fair skin too and take care of it. I've learned to accept that that's just who I am and to love myself for it. My grandmother and mother also had very light skin and their skin looked beautiful as they aged because they took care of it. So you'll have the last laugh in the end.
Reply:GOOD FOR YOU! 'Pale skin' may never be a 'fad' in your lifetime ... but your 'lifetime' will probably be a lot longer and you'll both look better and be healthier because you have 'pale skin' and take care of yourself. And if you 'look different' that's a GOOD THING because it helps you stand out in a crowd!
Reply:When they start getting some years on them and seeing those leathery wrinkles! By then though, there will probably be a fix for that also. I'm light complected and my friends used to tell me to "turn off my legs", because the sun shined off of them and was blinding... My wrinkles will be from life- laughter and stress. When people are younger, they just don't think about how what they do now affects them later (me included sometimes).
Reply:Your doing thr right thing all these young hot looking 18 to what 27 are all about the tan sure thier hot now but wait till there in ther 30's it's not going to be hot any morei dont tan but i do use a bronzer.
Reply:people like the golden glow. some people associate pale skin with not eating right. When i am tan people compliment me but when i don't get any sun i go pale and people always ask me whats wrong with me, if i am sick so yea. I don't have to go to a tanning bed or stay in the sun long to get tan, just ten minutes in the sun so i don't think it is unhealthy but the people that have to go to tanning beds often DO look unhealthier than most people. They tend to have lots of wrinkles! So I say, just stick to whatever works for your skin. If u can tan easily without having to go to a bed then i don't think that is bad but if u are spending every other day in a tanning bed then thats a problem, its gross and unhealthy. They will see the results when they are in their late 20s
Reply:It looks really passe and pedestrian to have a tan, so you are already in fashion. Only sorority girls and porn stars tan these days. You are on track, don't worry. Everybody who knows anything about anything is using sunscreen.
Reply:hmm i dont know if it will ever be in but why follow trends! i do sometime but thats cuz i personally like some things. dont worry about it being a fad be d ifferent! tanned isnt suppposed to be healthy, just better looking. but more and more people are becoming more aware of the dangers of tanning so maybe it possible fair skin will become a fad
Reply:Pale skin will be in "when the world goes Goth". Good for you for taking care of your skin. While you may be avoiding damage by staying out of the sun, keep in mind that you may be doing damage with all the chemicals you're treating it with.


I have an aunt who went to tanning salons, and used rub on tanning solution for years. She now closely resembles a pleather couch.
Reply:I'm 40 years old, and in all those years, pale skin has never been in. I don't think it ever will be. I have never been big on tanning. For what it's worth, I am told all the time how I look so much younger than I actually am. Taking care of your skin will always be a fad of sorts. A lot of people want a clear complexion, but they want that tan to go with it. They will someday pay for all the excessive tanning. Make friends with the skin you're in. You work hard to be healthy. Be proud of that!
