healthy skin color for men

It matches your own natural pigment base, is uniform and shiny, and has no abnormal pigmentation or inflammatory redness. It has no necessary relationship with the depth.

Don't believe the brainwashing theory on the Internet that "boys must be dark to be masculine". There is no need to go out to the sun at noon just because others say "white skin makes you weak". I used to know a friend who is in the fitness industry. In order to take publicity photos to support his "tough guy" persona, he went to the sun for two hours every day at noon for two consecutive weeks without applying sunscreen. The final photo looked good, but three layers of skin broke out on his back, and he also developed seborrheic dermatitis. It took him more than three months to recover. There are still two patches of light brown pigmentation on the back of his neck, which I regret even talking about.

From the objective facts of dermatology, the number of melanocytes in the basal layer of each person's skin is naturally different by 3-4 times. Some people are born with a "sun protection buff" that will gradually darken after a week of exposure. Some people's skin color will be one shade darker after just walking in the sun for ten minutes. This is all written in genes and has nothing to do with physical fitness.

Of course, there are many outdoor sports enthusiasts who disagree with this statement. They think that the naturally tanned wheat color is proof of years of exercise and a symbol of health. There is actually nothing wrong with this, as long as you wear sunscreen and are not exposed to ultraviolet rays such as redness, rashes, or peeling. If you deliberately sunbathe naked in order to pursue dark skin, it is not healthy, and it will leave hidden risks for skin photoaging and even skin cancer. This is a conclusion recognized by dermatologists at home and abroad, and there is nothing to argue about.

On the other hand, many boys are now pursuing cold white skin, saving money to buy various powerful whitening essences, and even secretly getting so-called whitening injections. This is completely unnecessary. First of all, the whitening injection has not yet received approval from the domestic Food and Drug Administration, and the dosage of ingredients is not guaranteed. If your liver and kidneys are damaged, there will be no place to cry. ； Secondly, if you are born with a dark pigmented base, forcing your skin color to fade to the same as your natural white skin will only damage the skin barrier and cause redness and stinging at every turn, which is not worth the gain. One more thing to mention, if your skin color is originally dark, but suddenly becomes extremely pale for no reason, and your lips are no longer bloody, don’t be too busy to be happy that you are whiter. Go get a blood test as soon as possible. There is a high probability that it is anemia or liver and kidney problems.

I have seen too many boys, regardless of whether they are born with fair skin or dark skin, stay up late every day playing games, heavy oil and salt every day, and their face is covered with a layer of gray oil. The red acne marks on the forehead and chin have faded and grown. The gray feeling is like a glass window that cannot be wiped clean. Even if the skin color is in line with the public aesthetics, it has nothing to do with health. On the other hand, Brother Wang, who owns a car repair shop downstairs, works outside every day. His face is tanned several degrees darker than the average person, but his overall complexion is translucent. He doesn’t even have a pimple, and his face is radiant when he smiles. That’s a truly healthy complexion.

If you really like a darker skin tone, you can choose a regular tanning salon, control the length of each exposure, apply sunscreen lotion before sun exposure, and apply a thick layer of repairing aloe vera gel after sun exposure. Go there at most twice a week. Not only will the skin tone appear even, but the skin will not be hurt. If you are born with fair skin, don't feel embarrassed. Just wear a hat and sunscreen when going out to avoid sunburn. You don't have to worry about your face for the eyes of others.

To put it bluntly, to judge whether your skin tone is healthy or not, don’t use a color card to compare the shades. Go to the mirror and take a quick look to know: whether there are abnormal red blood streaks, whether there are dark spots and acne marks, whether it feels lumpy and bumpy, and whether the overall complexion is clear and stretched. This is more accurate than any unified standard. After all, your skin color grows on your own body, and being comfortable, free, and flawless is more important than catering to any aesthetic.
