An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.

Soon, Ursa Major was born: delightfully effective, forest-infused skincare essentials—made with zero harmful ingredients—so your skin and your spirit can truly thrive!

"I’ve been using this for a couple of years! I’m 62 and see a huge difference in terms of brightness and age spots. I have age spots near my hair line on my forehead and two somewhat large spots on my cheeks. With consistent use I’ve seen a huge difference. All spots have lightened considerably!! It takes far less makeup to cover them. Definitely recommend !!!"
