“You’re so pale” is a phrase fair-skinned redheads hear a million times in their lives. It’s also the reason many of us avoid wearing white swimsuits in the summertime. Well, forget that! White looks amazing on redheads, but if you need a little help pulling off a white swimsuit this summer keep reading.
Stay moisturized & exfoliated
When our skin is dry it can look ashier and even paler. Keep your skin moisturized to keep it looking healthy. Exfoliating can also bring out your natural glow because it increases blood flow.
Avoid white cast SPF
SPF that leaves a white cast will have your skin looking even whiter than it already is. Instead, use SPF that goes on without color, or opt for something with a little glow in it.

Try a texture or pattern
Instead of plain white, opt for a fun texture or white and color patterned swimsuit. It’s also a good idea to stick with pure white colors and skip anything cream, beige, or off-white so it has more contrast to your skin.

Fake it
And of course, you can always fake a tan. Self-tanning and spray tanning are safe ways to get a nice glow in the summer months, just be sure to apply your SPF when you go out because your skin will still burn even under a fake tan.
Be confident!
Your red hair and fair skin are unique and beautiful. The more confidence you have in yourself, the more confidence others will see in you so wear white and rock it like a redhead.
