Dude the amount of social pressure I’ve had to tan is insane. Let me be ghostly pale in peace and stop projecting your insecurities about your paleness onto me. Better that than orange or sun damaged.
Can girls please stop convincing themselves that yellowy bleach blonde hair and an orange fake tan look good? They just make you look like you’re desperate to conform.

Yk what’s funny is as a “tan” person I’ve always liked how pretty fair skin is

“I don’t drink/smoke” “that’s cool” vs “I don’t wanna tan” “weirdo”

Really? I’m pale, have never tanned and have never felt social pressure to tan. Probably bc I’ve never had too many white friends? I don’t even know anyone who tans lmao

I’m SUPER pale and people have been telling me to tan/drink carrot juice/get some sun since I was a teen, especially in the five years where I had black hair. I honestly want to go back to darkest brown hair, it made my eyes pop. I actually think people from India and sub Saharan Africa have some of the most beautiful skin tones going purely on tone (combinations of everything else make it so there are drop dead gorgeous people of every ethnicity), but I’m also comfortable in my own skin.
