I'm pale with pink undertones. And lots of freckles.
to freckles!
I do tan nicely when I accidently let myself - usually I'm pretty religous about the sunscreen.

My actual skin tone is a warm medium beige.
I'm also pasty though.
A lot of skin cancer in my family, not to mention tattoos to protect, so I stay pretty well covered up, year round.

Pasty pretty well describes it. I'm very fair with pink undertones and loads of freckles.

I'm pretty pale. When I was a kid, I used to hope if I got enough freckles, they would join forces and become a tan. Needless to say, it never happened.

Hey me to!!!
As a kid I was teased that I ate a 100 dollar bill and broke out in pennies!
I always wanted my freckles to one day meet!!!

I'd say medium/fair. I've got yellow undertones too, but I don't see much sun or I'd get nice and golden! It's kind of funny, if I put my hand next to DH, I look sooo yellow and he looks soooo pink! I mean the contrast really stands out then!

Well... I once went to Clinique and the makeup girl said that she didn't think they even made a foundation light enough for me. I'm that special kind of pale that borders on clorox white. That people comment on... Wow, you're so pale! You are blinding me!

And proud of it, since all the women on the maternal side have had skin cancer.

Pale...
Back in high school people made fun of my skin color. They called me names and said I looked dead. My skin tone never bothered me before, but ever since then I can't snap out of it. I wear long sleeves and pants when it's hot outside to cover up my skin. I know this sounds stupid, but it made me feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. I feel so ugly.

Aww no reason for that! I don't particularly like wearing shorts myself anyways (seems like I can never find any that cover enough leg to satisfy me, I know I sound old, but its true)! Don't feel bad just because some people had to say things like that to make themselves feel better. I bet you're skin is beautiful since you don't tan often, isnt it?

Very fair. Sunburn material, unless I'm very careful. I peeled more skin off this body as a kid....
But once the peeling was over, I did eventually tan -- some -- It takes being out in the sun all day, every day, which of course is what kids did fifty years ago. I have long since lost interest in baking my body, though.

Buuuuuuuuuut...this sunburn material came from my Mum, and brought with it some benefits: it's not oily, but if you don't put a lot of junk on it, it wears extremely well. She made it to 83 with not many wrinkles at all, and I look like following her lead. I'll take it.

Overall, I guess my skin tone is fair. But I'm really really pale in the winter, and in the summer I'm really tan
That's like me, usually alabaster/peaches and cream in winter and golden brown in summer, i don't have any freckles but i do have a few moles on my back


i think i can credit my color to my German/English Heritage.

my sister used to lay out every stpring when she was a teenager, so she'd get tan. i never did - burned awfully on occasion, but never 'worked' on a tan. she is almost 2 years younger than me, but has MANY more wrinkles! partly it's due to the difference in skin texture - she got dad's type of skin, i got mom's - but also because of the weathering!

I will say medium beige, I tan fairly easily but I get dehydrated so quickly that I can't tan in the sun only in the tanning bed but I don't do that either. I might get a package this month....
