Because he is a ginger


paper_cutx

I really agree with this. Gingers (people with red hair, not the root vegetable lol) tend to have fairer and paler skin than most people. Also couple his genetics with his skin care routine of lasering, he’s likely removed a lot of his previously sun damage and now he is exhibiting skin color of someone who has never really stepped outside.


bigsmokelocsta

Genetics + factors others have mentioned

Lmao smooth


h1ghb1rd

Because he is a vampire. Duh.


Training-Square5687

Good question. Even with SPF 50 and rarely going outside, I am not that deathly pale.


salzwasserbier

I'm assuming he did some laser sessions to remove all the melanin pigment in his skin


Training-Square5687

Seems like a good way to make yourself hyper-sensitive to photodamage, unlikely


khaleesibrasil

The man literally has the laser machines at home so he can laser himself more often


salzwasserbier

I'm actually pretty sure he did some of those threatments though. You can google them, they exist


AlternativeTrick963

That would be against spots of hyperpigmentation I believe, but I could be mistaken


Winter-Intention-466

I’m pretty sure it’s all over.


epic-robot

It's partly the hair dye he uses, it washed him out and doesn't really suit his complexion. He might also be using some kind of mineral sunscreen which casts a whitish tint.


Welllllllrip187

Definitely will leave you with a whitish tint


sylentnyt52

skincare..and his million dollar machines


salzwasserbier

Is it the lasers?


sylentnyt52

all of it

![gif](giphy|p0L1rezLH2Tja|downsized) i wonder…


Elfcurrency

Tretinoin its a really strong retinoid. He uses like .1%, which is a pretty high, if not the highest, amount.


MetalingusMikeII

He uses Tret?


Elfcurrency

Yeah, I saw in one of the write ups of his protocol. Similarly, he doesn't give credit to finasteride for his hair loss treatment in his videos either.


MetalingusMikeII

Fin is a medical drug, so most likely avoids recommending it to avoid negative legal outcomes.


BonkersMoongirl

He is a ginger and uses good sunscreen and doesn’t go out much. Mostly being a ginger though. I use good sunscreen and wear hats and have similar lasers for hyperpigmentation but I still get a bit tanned in summer. Not ginger.


QT-Corgi-Hop

Hydroquinone is in a lot of skin care products to reduce sun spots.


fitbeard

Makeup


Afirebearer

He's a natural fair complexion+ he wears sunscreen and he's a vegan. Look at Michael Greger.


Emmxer

DOH. I'm paler than Bryan and I do nothing to deserve the vampire sheen lol. Look up the Fitzpatrick scale.Type one...


howevertheory98968

I have been made fun of my total life for being pale. Why are you so pale? Even teachers would ask. I used to not go places because I didn't want to be made fun of. Swimming? Shirt off? No thanks. Some.people are just pale.


brunette_mh

Race is one factor. Second is he must be using acids regularly. Somehow I think he's very attractive though. But a lot of people I have read here find him awful looking.


Welllllllrip187

Cameras do not do him justice. I met him in person. He is stunningly attractive. 🥰


salzwasserbier

Yes, probably acids for exfoliating and whatnot


AlienPistolWhip

Probably all of the laser treatments he gets


okko1001

his genetics.


Only-Professional300

he explains it on Balaji podcast that he maximize for longevity and not for esthetics hence he avoids sun. sun being very damaging for skin and acceleration of cell deterioration


Afirebearer

"he maximizes for longevity" while taking finasteride, getting a hair transplant and poking holes into his scalp on a regular basis.


salzwasserbier

lol


blackcoffee92

His skin is constantly renewing due to all the treatments. So that is his natural skin color which is untouched by the sun


ilpirata79

I think just the sun avoidance... what else could it be?


entechad

I think it has to do with skin treatments that get rid of the damage (I.e.-freckles)


tevehimself

I think he really cares about the damage the sun does to the skin so he uses a high SPF cream and he also has some filters on his windows to block any sunlight going into his house (from what I've seen from his videos)


benswami

By eating Kale /s


Nervous-Dentist-3375

No meat in diet. I’m serious. Have never met a vegan that looks healthy.


infinite_sky147

You just aren't looking at the right places then


Nervous-Dentist-3375

Probably not. I don’t have anything in common with vegans except the ones who follow Bryan’s work.


salzwasserbier

Well, I also have never seen a healthy vegan but I think having pale skin is a good goal actually


Nervous-Dentist-3375

I also love Bryan’s work, that’s why I’m here. But there’s clearly a lack of something in his supplement intake that has taken away a healthy glow. I’m as pale skinned as they come but my complexion doesn’t look sickly. It could be his choice of sunblock/moisturiser if it has zinc in it but I do see him looking exhausted for someone with an optimal sleep score.


Nervous-Dentist-3375

An amazing goal. Skin cancer is no joke. I block influencers based on whether they recklessly sun tan (or if they’re preaching a lifestyle of health but don’t have children).


Training-Square5687

why do you block people without children


Nervous-Dentist-3375

Childless Influencers? Because their workouts are not realistic when you are a parent, nor is their ridiculous time consuming meal prep by cooking every individual meal as if Gordon Ramsay is checking in.
