Even darker skin needs daily sun protection. SPF 50 isn’t just for pale skin — the sun still causes damage to Fitzpatrick 4–6 skin. Here’s what the sun can do:
- Cause hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Trigger inflammation and irritation
- Accelerate premature aging
- Increase the risk of skin cancer
- Reduce effectiveness of treatments for acne or pigmentation
Implementation Tips:
- Apply SPF 50 every morning, regardless of weather
- Use formulas that blend well with melanin-rich skin (tinted or sheer)
- Reapply every 2–3 hours if outdoors
💡 Skincare is protection first. Daily SPF is the cornerstone of healthy, even-toned skin.
