My skin used to be delicate and translucent, which sounds like it should be poetic but it was kind of gross; that is, you could easily see blue veins and on some areas of my legs, hair follicles whether my legs were shaved or not. I've gone from being lily pale to a bit darker and that translucent quality has vanished. I think it's just my skin getting thicker which is also making it less pale. It looks so much better now, because of this, and I've also stopped bruising at every tiny bump.
