MYTH OR FACT: OUR MELANIN’ PROVIDES ENOUGH PROTECTION FROM UV RAYS

The answer is quite simple, YES. There has been a huge misconception that people of color do not need to wear sunscreen. Sunscreen should be worn daily, no matter your location – indoors and outdoors. Repeated sun exposure with little to no protection can cause damage to your elastin, collagen, and skin cells. Over time, this can lead to premature signs of aging including discoloration, wrinkles, fine lines, and a leathery appearance. Adding sunscreen in your skincare routine can help keep your skin bright, supple, and clear.
