Warning: moany thread.
I get actually properly depressed every single summer about being so pale (Irish and practically transparent). You’d think that aged 38 i’d be over it by now. But instead I just loathe my blue-white freckly legs and blotchy pink arms.
I live in Geneva where most people seem to have that skin that turns an even golden shade after spending 15 mins at the bus stop on a sunny day. They all look amazing in their summer dresses.
I’ve done fake tan, gradual tan, instant tan, spray tan, natural tanning wearing factor 50, 30,15, given up and tried to embrace the pale. But generally I just feel rubbish in summer.
There’s nothing anyone can say to help. Just fancied a moan
