If you've been blessed by a set of genes, giving you porcelain skin color, then you'll find this list not only highly relatable but also painfully funny.
A group of pigments called Melanin determines skin color; Melanin carries either brown, black or reddish tones, and their quantity and positions are what defines your skin coloration. So if you have a lack of the brown ones, congratulations on your pale skin!
So, do people always assume you're sick just because you have light skin? Is your perfect tan called 'redder than a lobster' and you get it the moment you step into the sun, even though you're wearing an entire bottle of sunscreen? Do you struggle to find a foundation that's pale enough to match your paper-white skin color? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then you're sure to appreciate this hilarious list compiled by Bored Panda, inside which you'll find a whole selection of funny people dealing with problems that only pale humans will understand. Don't forget to vote for your favorite!

As an "also pale af", I was happy about the palette in the picture, then realized what I thought would match my skin tone wasn't makeup, it was the sponge :-/
My red hair would probably save the day, although with my luck someone would think they stumbled onto a homicide scene.
That looks like a problem with the way they label makeup. That’s not remotely the color of porcelain. I’ve seen makeup in the store that looks way lighter than that called porcelain.
look at the bright side people can always spot you in the crowd you're like a beacon lol
I'm from a country where everyone tans easily… except from me. I have been mocked relentlessly because of it. And not just from acquaintances. Apparently, being pale, gives strangers the right to approach you and give you unsolicited advice while showing an overdramatized expression of disbelief and horror. Yes, random lady, I'm sure -as I have been trying to explain you for the last five minutes- more exposure to the sun won't give me a "healthy tan". My skin color is not "unhealthy", do you know what's unhealthy? Melanoma. Anyways, be comfortable on your own skin, both literally and metaphorically. Plus, asians age better not just because of good genes, they know the secret is sunscreen, lots of it.
I had a bf in hs who told me I could tan " just like his sister's" if I just sat in the Sun. I told him " your sister's are Mexican, I'm Irish!" he just didn't get it.
I once worked in an office where a younger woman tanned heavily. Someone once called her on it and she stated that she'd rather die tan than to live pasty. Looking at me. Oof...
The humor was good to start my day , &, I'm on the pale side myself . Be kind to your skin to prevent excessive aging & skin cancer which I've seen plenty of in my profession.
i was sitting outside with my friend and someone cat called saying wassup girl bring yo biolumiscent self over here smh
At least they were clever as well as creepy....half a point?
