Complexion

/kəm-ˈplek-shən/

Complexion is the natural color, texture, and appearance of a person’s skin. 

Word Background

Imagine looking in a mirror. You see your face, and it has a certain color and look to it. That’s your complexion! It’s like a special mix of colors and textures that make your skin unique. Complexion can change based on things like the weather, what you eat, and how much sleep you get. For example, if you spend a lot of time in the sun, your complexion might get a little tanner.

Complexion is important for our overall health and appearance. Taking care of your skin by washing it gently, using sunscreen, and eating healthy foods can help keep your complexion looking its best. It’s like a beautiful canvas that shows the world who you are.
