Normal skin contains cells called melanocytes, where the production of melanin gives color to the skin, when your skin is very pale or white there is absence of these components and is known as: hypopigmentation.

Care tips

Avoid prolonged sun exposure

Pale skin is very sensitive, exposure to the sun without care can cause burns and the appearance of annoying blisters. You should use sunblock whenever necessary at least SPF 50+.

Beware of reddened skin

If you detect that your skin turns red or irritates very easily, apply hypoallergenic moisturizers. These soothing creams have moisturizers, sometimes aloe vera or chamomile that alleviate the discomfort.

Protect yourself from the cold

The pale skin is easily altered with changes in temperature, which causes breakage in the blood vessels and that are noted as small venitasm, type "spider veins" on the face or chest and neck.
