How To Identify Your Skin Tone
Fair skin is a pretty easy skin type to identify. For starters, you’re likely the palest of all your friends, may get sunburnt easily, and may not be able to tan very well. Out of all the skin tones, fair is the lightest one -- followed by light, medium, and dark. A fair skin tone is typically paired with blonde or red hair, blue or green eyes, and freckles.
If you’re having trouble identifying your skin tone, here are some celebrities with fair skin who you may recognize: Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams, Emma Stone, Gwen Stefani, Amanda Seyfried, and Lily Collins.
What You Need To Know About Fair Skin
While not everyone with fair skin will experience the same skin concerns, here are some things that you’re more likely to experience as someone with fair skin:
- Fair skin may be more sensitive than other types of skin -- particularly to environmental pollutants.
- Fair skin may experience higher levels of hyperpigmentation -- leading to the development of freckles, dark spots, and dark patches.
- Fair skin may experience dark blue or purple circles around the hollows of the eyes.
- Fair skin may experience premature aging and may require the use of anti-aging products that boost collagen and elastin production to fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
How To Take Care of Fair Skin
The most important component of taking care of fair skin is sun protection. Of course, this is important no matter your skin tone, but it’s especially crucial for those with fair skin. This is because those with fair skin actually have a higher risk of experiencing sun damage and even skin cancer since fair skin burns easier than other skin tones and also includes less of the protective melanin pigmentation.
As a result, your tan friends may be able to skip the SPF but you definitely don’t need to take that risk. In fact, it’s recommended that you wear a product with SPF protection each and every day -- no matter what the weather is like or even if you don’t plan on going outside. While you may think that the clouds or windows protect you from the sun, the ultraviolet rays are so powerful that they can penetrate through these barriers and damage your skin as a result.
Experts recommend that you apply a broad-spectrum SPF product of at least 30 every day. Broad-spectrum products are key as they are able to protect you from both UVA and UVB rays from the sun. You may also want to look for a product that is water-resistant and can stand up to sweat and water. However, even if your sunscreen is water-resistant, you should still reapply regularly -- about every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.
In addition to applying sunscreen to your face, neck, and ears, you should protect your lips by applying a lip balm with built-in SPF. You can protect vulnerable areas of your body by wearing clothing with sleeves, wearing a hat, or wearing sunglasses. Finally, you may want to avoid the sun during the peak hours of ten in the morning to four in the afternoon. While this may not always be possible, be sure to protect yourself as much as you can by following these tips.
