Search Results: tan skin

I'm self conscious about my skin color. I am pretty pale, and I don't tan that easily. What makes it worse is that I have dark brown hair, I'm the literal complete opposite of the beauty standard here in Sweden. No guys are interested in me, and I think it's mostly because of my hair color and skin tone.

I look like a nerd they present in movies. Pale skin, dark brown hair, brown eyes, glasses and a few pimples. (They aren't really visible though)

Guys in Sweden are very picky, and their type is tan skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. I've noticed that Asian people think I look good, but it's because where they are from pale skin is the beauty standard.

There's so many blue eyed, tanned skin, blonde hair girls here. I see them everywhere I look, it's impossible for me to compete with them. They get all the guys.

So, is pale skin unattractive to you?@

A study found that daily suncream usage reduces the effects of aging skin by 24%, and the sun's UVA rays damage the elastin in our skin, as we lose the elasticity in our skin causing it
to sag and stretch.

I personally use it often simply because I hate sunburn and prefer an even tan which sunscreen allows me, but this is a great benefit and cheap too, compared to buying 50£+ products later on in life when you can instead protect your skin. Even if you do not care about aging skin, it's useful for an even tan and protecting against sun damage/cancer.

Just make sure to wash suncream off as it blocks your pores, just like everyday sweat and grease does which can cause acne.

Will this information influence your future routines or do you think it's had no impact?
