Are pale people UGLY?

Question

I have... some of the lightest see through skin... i mean... you know what i mean... anyway

Is it ugly.. I keep getting low self esteem about it. my friends say I need to tan
I CAN'T TAN
I burn. Go to the makeup place and look at the lightest shade there... that's my skin tone.

Is it ugly to be pale?

Answer 1

No, it's not ugly, and actually I am also very pale. I love it and you should think of it as something that makes you unique and beautiful. Beauty comes in many forms and your paleness is one of them. So don't worry about it and love the skin your in:)

Answer 2

Don't feel bad; the lightest shade in the makeup aisle is still to dark for me. Baby powder is the one of the only powders that matches my skin.

Pale skin is not ugly. Being tan must be nice, but being pale is nicer. If people have a problem with your non-tanness, tell them to close their eyes or something. :)

Don't let it bother you. At all.

Answer 3

No it is not, for the longest I have delt with being an African American and having dark skin. Many dark skinned people like me have embraced it just as beautiful as a lighter skin person. I think pale complexted people have also become more fond of their skin color. It's beautiful and natural, and safer on your skin not to be in the sun anyway. Don't indulge in the Hollywoods ideal of beauty with tanned skin. And like someone said look at Nicole Kidman, there are so many more too.

Answer 4

No honey, I'm right there with you. I too had to overcome being ashamed of my paleness.

This is my consolation: in twenty years I'll look ten years younger than my friends who tan. And every year that goes by, that difference will grow. Actually, my sister (who is 23 and also very pale) has a friend who is 24 but looks thirty. She tans.

So stick it out, and hold your head high! After putting on the SPF 45, of course.

Answer 5

Noooooo! I love pale and fair skin tones.

And your friends suck if they tell you that you NEED to tan. Good friends like you as you are. (no offense meant to say your friends suck, but I would never be around people like that)

Its so beautiful and it ages rather well. If you want some color in your skin, try a mild brozer or tanning lotion, but don't try to tan; it ruins your skin and makes you look ugly in the long run. And the more you burn, the worse off you and your skin are.

Answer 6

Nope. I'm pale. I have some pale friends. Just the way it is. Take a look...how creamy and smooth is your skin? A lot of pale people have beautiful skin. Tell your friends that when you're all 60 or so and they have wrinkles and sun damage from tanning, you'll look 10 years younger. So there.

I can't imagine ever telling anyone that their skin was ugly and thanking God I was of another ethnicity. How horrible.

Answer 7

no, pale people aren't ugly, but i would like to point out that not all people with tan skin go to tanning salons and fry their skin. i'm tan and i've never purposely went outside to get a tan, and i've never been to a tanning salon, so y do u people assume that tan skin is fake? yes, i understand that some people overdo it when it comes to tanning, but personally, i'd much raher have skin that i can go outside with and not get burned so easily. i like goin to the beach and not caring weather the sun is hitting me, or puting on sun screen every five minutes. and tan people don't get wrinkles that are any worse than pale people's wrinkles. but, do u see how i'm proud of my own skin tone? u should be the same with urs! pale skin, has beautiful texture and the color is beautiful also. nd do u know that the high fashion models today have nothing but pale skin? pale skin is pure and soft and angelic. and pale people tend to have flushed pink cheeks naturally. so, pale skin is just as beautiful as tan skin and u should be proud! nd don't ever get a tan cuz u don't need it! ur skin is beautiful just the way it is! well, good luck nd hope i helped!!!!!!

Answer 8

I'm this pale to and i used to be really self conscious about this, maybe have a look at all of the celebrities that you admire and see if any of them are pale. I bet there's a few. What i do is have some bronzer and things lying around so when i really want to look good when going out i apply this stuff, that way i am tanned sometimes. A lot of people really do like pale skin better and like my mum says white is healthy. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

I'm really pale and i know how u feel. people call me stuff like glow in the dark. i burn easily too. dont try to tan its bad for ur skin. pale skin is just fine, some people think it is a very striking feature. dont wish u were tan. play up the paleness. wear clothes that accent ur skin tone.

Answer 10

I am also very pale and I don't think that I am ugly. You could always use fake tan but pale can be just as attractive as any other colour.
