Please ask if I've made changes you don't understand.

Hi.

Thanks for your correct my sentence.

But I don't understand about sentence "She has white skin and bright eyes".

Why you didn't use article I thinks correct sentence is: She has a white skin and a bright eyes.

Using an article would not be usual with skin there. You are describing her complexion and colouring. You make it sound as if she possesses a skin seoarate from her body.

Using an article is incorrect with 'bright eyes' because 'eyes' is plural.
