Do you like the colour of your skin?

Question

Did you want to be lighter, darker or tanned? I just noticed in Asia, where I am at right now, most people want to be light skinned. They are obsessed with fair skin products. I’m Filipino and I always loved my skin colour. How about you?

My forbears originate from northern Northern Europe but fortunately I have some black Scots in me so I have an olive tone which means I don't fry under the Australian sun. Thank god.

For those who don't know Black Scots and Black Irish are descended from Spanish sailors of the Spanish Amarda in 1588. The fleet completely missed England and had to sail back around Scotland. Those ships that didn't get wrecked on Scottish shores got shipwrecked on Irish shores. Only 1/3 of the ships made it back to Lisbon so a lot of Spanish sailors were left behind.

I think the obsession with light skin is a class thing, darker people work in the fields and more imperial people out of the sun. Umbrellas and sunhats are all over in Vancouver in the summer. I have been culturally isolated a lot of my life, but as I have met more people coming from more places, I have grown am appreciation of all complexions. Beauty knows no nation or race.

Mhm I love my skin color... but lately I wish I would get more tanned when I do sit in the sun tho ... like I'm really withe and when I try to tan I do get a little darkerish but it would be nice if my body took in a little more braunishness... if that makes sense haha

I am pretty pale and kind of wish to be farker and burn less But beside that I do love my skin as it is

sunflower00 · Answer

I’m fine with my skin colour, I’m quite pale and I don’t mind it. The thing that does bother me though is that I can’t get a tan. I would like to look a bit sunkissed in the summer but I’m allergic to the sun so I can’t, also, I’m so pale that you can see my blue veins quite clearly and red patches on my skin, like my face can go quite red sometimes and my legs/arms, so sometimes I feel like I look blotchy and transparent which isn’t great.

Apulu_Imback · Answer

Well, my skin is slightly tanned for few years because of frequent contact with sunlight. My original skin colour is fair. My face, hands and legs which are exposed outside are only tanned and I was insecure about that because beauty standards here want fair or pale skin but I'm not anymore because I learnt that people pay thousands of dollars for having tanned skin artificially in west while I have it naturally. I'm proud of this slightly tanned skin and original skin colour, both.

BungusHighFivePizza · Answer

I love mine! I am olive skinned but mostly I like that I rarely ever get sunburnt. My wife is pale and she can't even lie down on a beach for an hour without her skin hurting and peeling in the shower.

I want even darker though if I could change it. I can still get sunburt if I get smashed and fall asleep for like 5 hours exposed to direct sunlight. It's only happened to me like three times in my life but I understood what my felt when you get in the shower and your whole back is peeling away.

I would love to be a black man in the next life and also with a gigantic dong.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Yep, I am very pale.

Naturally my skin color is porcelain.

I used to like getting spray tanned though.

My ex fiancé had a darker skin, he was Asian, his skin was dark like tanned, not dark like black but yeah, he was much darker than me and I found it sexy.

AsaKyo · Answer

I got that caramel colored skin and I always kinda wish I was pale or something, but people are always like, "Your skin is so pretty, just the way it is", but ehhh

It's just like.. I know that I'm gonna get shitted out of jobs and stuff throughout life because of my skin color and whatnot, so I guess that's why I wish I was lighter sometimes

Potteplante · Answer

I grew up hating my skin colour, I really wanted to be darker mostly because I really wanted to look more like my siblings.

Now i don't know, it's my skin - I don't hate it nor love it, I can say I dislike how easily I get sunburned.

Adam1978 · Answer

I would prefer to have been darker so I hadn't so pale skin, that is so sensitive to the sun. But it really isn't something that bothers me. So I don't hate my skin color, I just see the practicality of fixing some flaws.

asphaltrhymes · Answer

I voted I want to be lighter, while at the same time being very happy that I'm pale/sort of pale. But I don't like getting any darker/burnt/tanned by the sun but see I burn in the sun. I don't tan.
So merrily, I much prefer just being how I am, but I wouldn't complain if I was ever paler or whiter with age, lol. Over time lol 🤍🐻‍❄️

ThePartyGirl93 · Answer

This is such a odd question but yeah I love my skin color. I mean if I didn't what would that say about me overall? Like I wish I didn't have so many scars and stretch marks though.

Lliam · Answer

I like my skin color. I have Irish ancestry, so my skin is very light. But I'm fortunate to tan easily. I can get really dark if I spend days and days in the sun.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I can't really get tan, if I do it's just a very light one since I'm pretty pale. But I like my skin. I was told by one of my sisters it was like sort of an olive color.

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

lottiebannotie · Answer

It seems to be a thing that dark people wish to be lighter and light people wish to be darker no idea why like people with curly hair straighten it and people with straight hair curl it go figure 🤣

HoneyButterCup525 · Answer

Well I'm brown skinned (Indian) but I love it, I like the tanned sandy tone I have. As for other skin tones the prettiest I found were Caucasian women with an olive tone skin cause they can truly rock any hair colour with that tone. And also another favourite tone in black skin it's so definite, smooth and stunning.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Color yes, not the texture. My skin is pretty oily and I have adult acne. I'd change my skin tone to be a bit lighter so my acne would look better.

ODC2112 · Answer

My Skin colour is irrelevant to me, since I cannot change it. The only problem is that I have a high tendency to get sunburned, despite not having a fair skin like a Swede.

Babygirl_S · Answer

I am fair-skinned but I find naturally caramel skin/tanned skin so beautiful. I don't want to change mine because it's not fashionable to be darker in my country or I guess any country 🤷🏻‍♀️

Guardian45 · Answer

I'm in the odd position of being mixed. For health reasons, I don't spend time in the sun, so I'm pale. If I did, I get darker, not as dark as my dad though. I prefer to be darker.
