It does not matter if your skin tone is darker and the SUN wont cause you to freckle or burn. There is such thing as actinic damage. (actinic is another word for sun)
Summary:
UVA, which penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB, has long been known to play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging)
UVB, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, tends to damage the skin’s more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and a contributory role in tanning and photoaging. Its intensity varies by season, location, and time of day.
SUNCREEN dudes, get a high spf of course but in order to protect your skin from these 2 bad guys u need a physical blocker sunscreen. Titanium Dioxide and zinc oxide are the important ingredients. They totally reflect the sun back without using chemicals. It used to be that these sunscreens were like diaper cream. Its micronized now. You put it on and u forget u have it on.
Here are my favorites:
ELTA MD SUNSCREENS
OBAGI SUNCREEN
BLUE LIZARD
I sell all of these at my work: IRONWOOD DERMATOLOGY in Tucson AZ
PS. My favorite is ELTA MD PHYSICAL 41
