You cannot choose your skin color. Skin color is determined by the amount of melanin in your skin, which is genetically inherited.
Here are some things to remember about skin color:
- It's not a choice: Your skin color is a part of your unique identity and cannot be changed.
- Skin color doesn't determine your worth: Everyone deserves respect and dignity, regardless of their skin color.
- Diversity is beautiful: Celebrate the uniqueness and beauty of different skin tones.
You can, however, learn about your skin tone's undertone, which can help you choose the right makeup and clothing colors:
- Cool undertone: Your veins appear blue or purple.
- Warm undertone: Your veins appear greenish.
- Neutral undertone: You have a mix of blue and green veins.
