Its been a while since i've been on. I just made an altmer and remember that many of the elf body colors do contrast heavily with the face.

Is this a known bug for vanilla?

My face looks almost green compared to the yellowish body.

Can I just answer your title....."Try having a wash"..... Sorry couldn't resist

Hmmm, that's odd. Maybe try amping up the neck, forehead, nose, and cheek colors?

Did you adjust the skin tone from one of the default presets.

No mods...so nothing that relies on Ethereal Eleven Overhaul? USLEEP?

lol

i think so

I have a feeling that could be it. I am not a mod maker. I think Cliente (Spelling likely way off) or a mod maker that specializes on body textures would know.
