My skin colour is white. Although my hair is dark brown my skin is too pale for my liking. It was quite funny when I came home from a holiday to the Caribbean with tanned skin. One of my friends said I looked much better. I think people with a darker skin than me are in less danger of getting sunburnt. I have to wear very high factor suncreams when on holiday in the tropics. If I leave a small gap on my body without suncream then I know about it the next day. It looks red, my skin feels tight and even feels like it is burning. Australian people are very aware of the sun. They say slip on a shirt, slop on some suncream and slap on a hat (or something like that).

A lot of people say they like my white skin, but for real I really hate it. I have used almost all the tanning lotions and they seem to give me a tan temporarily. I want to have a permanent tan but I think it does not allow my skin. It only gives me a red tint but only for few days, it will fade.

I am perfectly content with it. It is pretty pale with a lot of frecles. There have been times when I wish I would be able to get a bit of a tan at summer, but now I really do not care all that much anymore. There are worse things than a pale skin with freckles

I am white and I mean so white that my summer tan is whiter than most peoples winter fade... I hate it because I love being tanned but last summer I spent all my spare time outside and I couldn't even burn... it really sucks
