How to Own Your Paleness

Those of us with pale skin need to learn to love it instead of always trying to hide it. The sun has very damaging rays and many people who are fair-skinned truly look better that way. Just look at Nicole Kidman in Cold Mountain. She looks gorgeous in her pale glory.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sunscreen

1. 

   Always wear sunscreen. Even if you won't be outside for long periods of time you can be at risk for skin damage.

2. 

   Wear clothes that compliment your skin tone. Many colors that don't look good on tanner people really pop on fairer skinned individuals.

3. 

   Wear a little bronzer if you want to get a little color. Make sure to use one that compliments your fair skin and isn't too dark.

4. 

   Pale is beautiful!!! Learn to accept it and you will be gorgeous because you are comfortable in your own skin and aren't trying to change the way you were made.
