don't be at risk of sun damage
All skin is at risk of sun damage, but lighter skin is at a higher risk then deeper skin because the darker it is, the more melanin is produced. Melanin is produced by skin cells and turns dark when exposed to sun rays blocking your chance of sunburn.
Interesting fact: Deeper skin tones naturally have an SPF of 4, however it's recommended that all skin types should apply an SPF 30 putting a layer of protection from UVA and UVB rays.
The best way to prevent sun damage is to: seek shade, wear sunscreen, and care for your skin with nourishing vitamin rich formulations.
