Glowing, sun-kissed, goddess-like: These, unfortunately, are words that have never been used to describe our complexion. (Pale, alabaster and ghost-like on the other hand\u2026) And while we used to<\/em> be self-conscious about our lack of color, we\u2019ve come to embrace our porcelain skin. Here\u2019s how to own your paleness this summer. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n

WEAR MORE HATS<\/h3>\n

Accessorizing is fun, but it\u2019s also necessary if you burn easily. A giant floppy hat not only protects your face and scalp from the sun; it also makes you look super-glam (and sort of mysterious). Same goes for massive sunnies.<\/p>\n

TRY A BRIGHT LIPSTICK<\/h3>\n

Pale skin offers the perfect backdrop for a bold lip. (Um, hello Gwen Stefani.) Opt for a shade that demands attention\u2014like a vibrant red or coral\u2014which really pops against fairer complexions.<\/p>\n

FIND THE RIGHT BLUSH<\/h3>\n

While peaches and corals can read a bit orange on fair folks, soft pinks give you a perfect glow (since the color is closest to your natural flush). Stick to rosier hues and sheer pastels as opposed to bright pinks, so you don\u2019t veer into \u201980s territory.<\/p>\n

USE THE RIGHT SUNSCREEN<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re going to be outside for two minutes or two hours, you should always (we repeat, always) have sunscreen on\u2014which is why you need to find something that you really like and won\u2019t mind reapplying. If you ask us, La Roche-Posay and Shiseido are two of the best around for face and body, respectively. Not sure where to start? Here are some tips straight from the American Cancer Society. Taking a few extra minutes to find the right SPF is worth not getting burned\u2014trust us.<\/p>\n

WEAR PROTECTIVE SWIMWEAR<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re not going to tell you that you shouldn\u2019t go swimming during peak hours, but we will<\/em> encourage you to wear protective swimwear if you do. And before you start having flashbacks to those dorky rash guards your mom used to make you wear, know that sleeved one-pieces are actually trendy right now. We\u2019ll be rocking this fabulous one from Mott50 (with UPF, or ultraviolet protection factor) all summer long\u2014and maybe with our big floppy hat.<\/p>\n
