Then it increases the chance for skin cancer, has been related to skin cancer, and isn't a permanent remedy, so you have to keep spending money to do it at a shop, or time to do it outside.
I have an Asian friend who is pretty pale, and I think the skin tone is really beautiful.
It seems like such an odd thing for a lot of people to be worried about - like I can understand wanting big boobs, big hips, big muscles etc - because those things are related to things we are hard wired to be attracted to. Skin seems like such a small thing compared to everything else -
On the other hand, being dark skinned or having darker skin is something that is subtly viewed as being negative in society - so it would seem counter productive to darken yourself, not to mention the stereotypes that come with people who tan like your self absorbed, too concerned about your image, etc -
So I'm curious, what's wrong with being pale?
