What is my original skin color?

Published in Skin Tone 2 mins read

Unfortunately, I cannot definitively tell you your original skin color. As an AI, I have no way of visually assessing your physical characteristics. However, I can provide guidance on how you might determine it yourself.

To ascertain your original skin color, which is essentially your skin tone unaffected by sun exposure, follow these steps:

  • Observe Areas Protected from the Sun: The key is to examine areas of your body that receive minimal to no sun exposure.

  • Check Your Nail Bed Color: Examine the color of your nail bed. This can give you a general idea of your underlying skin tone.

  • Inspect Skin Under Your Arm: Gently pinch the skin under your arm (or any other area that remains consistently covered). The color observed in this area will be a better indicator of your natural, un-tanned skin tone.

  • Identify the Undertone: Determine if the tone appears:

    • Reddish-orange
    • Reddish-blue
    • Pinkish-blue
    • Peachy
    • Yellowish

    Identifying the undertone will further help you establish a benchmark for your natural skin tone.

Remember, this is an estimate based on visual observation. If you have concerns about changes in your skin pigmentation, consulting a dermatologist is always recommended.
