Search Results: pale skin

So this is a really old picture I've seen on the internet for both how to get a nice tan as safely as possible, and how to remove a tan if you don't like it. Depending on how you look at it, the tan side can be the after, after she got a tan... or the pale side can be the after, after she removed the tan she didn't like.

And after seeing it for so long... the topic in the question title just sort of passed through my mind. I really like the overall picture, but I can't decide which side I overall like more.
If you ask me, the tan side seems a bit too tanned... her hair and her skin are practically the same color. But the pale side seems a bit too pale. The contrast in between her and her hair is too high. The best in my opinion would be an exact in between mix of the two... so she's not too dark, but not pale like a ghost, either. But that's breaking the rules, isn't it?

I guess I choose the tan side, since it seems a bit more like her natural color... if you ask me, in the pale side it sort of looks like a filter was used to make her unnaturally pale. But the tan side seems more plausible.
