How can I make my pale skin looker fresher??

Question

I have very pale skin and my face looks tired and transparent because of it. How can I make my skin look fresher and more even, and get rid of thte circles under my eyes? I dont really have a problem being pale, I just want to even out and freshen up my skin, either with make-up or skin care products

Answer 1

I'm very pale, and everyone says my skin glows. I use St Ives apricot scrub (they have a sensitive skin version, if that works better for you). In the winter, I put a tiny bit of white petroleum jelly (white vaseline) on my face to keep the moisture in. Got this tip from a dermatologist. :)

As for the circles under the eyes, a lot of what causes that is genetic. However, you can use makeup to attract attention away from it. And of course, more sleep can help as well.

Yay, more pale people besides me! LOL. Hope this helped. :)

Answer 2

I have the same pale pale skin. The dark circles come from the fact that there is not enough pigment in your skin to hid the dark blood vessels that are close to the surface under very thin skin around your eyes.

I finally found one thing that works looks natural and is good for my skin. Bare Minerals makeup. You can find them online and order the lightest foundation. You actually get 2 shades and you blend these on the brush you use more or less of the dark color according do your skin and the way it looks. I can blend away dark circles and blemishes without looking phoney. I love this because your skin shows through without looking like makeup at all.

it depends on the person really. some people look nicer with tanned skin. others look much more beautful with pale skin. before all this fake tan and that came in years ago people used to see pale skin as a sign of a woman who could look after herself and didnt need a job out in the sun all day. well that was about a hundred years but you get my point. pale skin isnt a sign of weakness or illness. thats like pure white which makes you seem ill. i think your natural skin colour is better than fake tan. if you want the tanned look then get a tan gradually in your garden while sunbathing or go to the beach. alot more natural and more attractive than orange. trust me many lads have told some of my tanaholic friends this. i just tend to go natural and tan in the garden.

Answer 5

You can buy a skin product that you spray on the center of your face just to give you a glow coming off you. I'm sorry I don't have specifics so I would go to a makeup store and checkout all the products and see if you can find what I'm talking about.

Answer 6

A blusher is the safest choice I think. You can turn it up or down anytime you want. Sometimes blood circulation plays a role too. Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. Don't get a tan. You're exposing yourself to cancer and skin problems. I still think a blusher is the safest bet. And there are loads of choices too. Lol.

i use Dove Energy Glow lotion with light self tanners every night before bed. my skin looks a little more vibrant and i wear less make up. also, try getting ProActiv, besides preventing acne, it really makes it look revitalized.

Exercise helps too. i notice that when i am running consistently, my skin looks really healthy.
Also, i use NARS bronzer in Laguna and NARS blush in Orgasm, Benefit Boi-ing Undereye concealer and Stila Illuminating Powder in 30 Watts, they are amazing! all available on Sephora.com and make a huge difference.

Answer 8

the best thing is to invest some money on some good priced cleanser, toner, etc.. then use a cover-up for the black circles under your eyes along with either a light press powder or liq. make up.. cover girl has a good one that will not clog your pores and is not too heavy. another good tip is to us make up wedges to get a smooth appearance.

Answer 9

I have the same problem. I use a mineral based bronzer, Sephora has a nice one, and sweep it over places where the sun would naturaly hit my face. Also I use a cream blush, peachy colored, Covergirl has a nice one, and I use cream eyeshadow. Using the cream blush adds a fresh glow to the face.

Answer 10

Bare Minerals is the best treatment for all your problems. I love it and will never wear another kind of makeup ever again.
