Help! I don't like my pale skin.

So I basically have tanned skin the whole year (On summer I have a super tanned skin which I love) however on winter the skin on my face gets paler.. I believe it is because of the cold weather and because I get sick.. even though I have oily skin on winter my chickbone area dries.. what I have the most is that my face gets really pale and white so my dark circles and acne spots really pop out.. is there anything I can do in order to darken my skin and make it glow?? :)

Well if its just your face you can invest in getting those bronzing lotions or selftanner lotions and just use that for your face , I think Jergens makes one and its relatively inexpensive.

When I apply makeup I always use bronzer I was just wondering if I can make a mask or something in order to bring colour back in my face :)

You could also get a spray tan, I'm an esthetician but also do spray tans and most people will offer just upper body or lower body as well as full body. Some people come to me for this for the same reason, in the winter not everything is showing but they want a nice glow and the spray tan also helps cover up any spots or discoloration which is why I love it, I always am able to wear less makeup when I'm tan. if you go to someone good they'll be able to pick a lighter natural color for your skin tone and it being winter, so it doesn't look fake. Also make sure they blend It well I've had a lot of clients switch to me cuz they went just wanting face and neck but the tech literally stopped there, where as I blend it down the chest and arms so it matches the rest of you better

I have heard of people using a black tea to darken their skin, you could look Into that more.

Eat lots of carrots:) The carotene will give you a natural glow. But don't over do it, you might turn orange! :)

I just use a foundation a shade darker in the winter and it looks natural and looks like I am tan.
