All skin colors are great, but the beauty industry keeps telling women that have very pale skin that they should have sunbaths.

I’m pale. Like a really cool, almost gray-looking pale. Especially when I was younger (15+ years ago) being pale was seen as a “bad” thing. I remember being told by family members and hairdressers to not dye my hair too dark because it would make my skin look even paler. I shouldn’t wear black either, because that would also make me look pale. I was encouraged to go out into the sun, use moisturizers with tanners in them, and take pills (vitamins or whatever they are) to help tan my skin slightly. © DontLookAtMePleaz / Reddit
