As for your skin, it is most likely with a pale shade, and easily burns in the sun, or tends to become red when exposed to the sun’s rays.

• In the case, your skin doesn’t come with redness, olive, or espresso color, it is definitely a neutral tone. This kind of skin tone fits in the category of cool skin tones.
