I have a very pale face all of the sudden...?

Question

I have naturally tan skin, but my face has beenm getting really pale, but the rest of me is tan, and it looks funny, i mean i was pretty sick for a while, and i know that can make you paler, but i'm better. I mean it just keeps getting paler, so when summer comes and i go out in the sun my fac will get sun burnt, can you tell me what i should do to get color back into it??? i dont want to go tanning or anything like that. I was putting bronzer on for a while, but i just breakout from that, please help!

Answer 1

I would start with a very light self tanner for face, let the color build and keep your sunscreen on, on top so you don't burn. When the summer comes your face will pick up the color again, just do it slowly and use a make-up wedge to blend the self tanner in-you could even mix a little moisturizer in it to get started. If that is not for you check out a new bronzer for face. Laura Geller makes a great one that is baked. It is at Sephora.Com or QVC

Answer 2

Ive got really pale skin all over. It has to do with this weather. Mainly the winter season and not as much sun and stuff. From the cold, your face begins to get flushed and your body stays your natural color. Its odd but it happens. Once spring and summer get here itll get better. More sun means more tanning right? To make it more tan, get a coverup (liquid or powder) that matches the color of your neck and use it on your face and blend it on your neck. Itll match the rest of your body and look great. Hope that helps! <33 courtney

Hi
First have you had a blood count to check and rule out aneamia? otherwise try the self tanning creams especially made for the face. Like you I tried the normal one on my face and broke out in pimples. Ella Bache has an excellent face tanning cream which when you follow the directions exactly you can't tell if it is the sun or the cream. Anyway this way you don't get wrinkles

All the best

You said you were sick for a while. That might be the problem. Usually when you're sick you don't eat, and when you don't eat you don't get the nutrition and vitamins you need. So without those, that's probably why your face become paler. Lol this might sound funny but try eating more fruits and vegetables, and your face will eventually get back its color.

Answer 5

if you were serioiusly sick for a while that would cause that and even though your better it takes a while to recover for a long term ilness just try to get out in the sun or try hypoalergenic bronzer or foundation

Answer 6

don't worry about it. During winter my skin gets really pale like 10 shades lighter than my natural color during summer. Wait, for summer to roll by and you'll be back to your regular skin tone.

Answer 7

Well you might need more iron in your diet. Do you also feel really tired or do you crunch on ice alot? Those are signs of needing more iron in your diet. Either get some vitamens or eat red meat or any thing high in iron such as liver.

Answer 8

omg same thing i am Thai and usually Thais are extremely tan but my face is really white all of a sudden i think its because of the cold weather, my face changed dramatically it is pretty white and always getting compliments on it, i guess white is better

Answer 9

weird...maybe you are still healing from your sickness....or your getting sick again? because if you got pale ur whole body would i would think...if you go out in the sun dont put on any sun screen and u might not burn..?

Answer 10

perhaps your missing vitamins. i used to be very pale with dark cicles under my eyes until i began taking vitamins and now im tan and have a pretty flushed glow to my face.
