Don't want that black to crack? Feed your melanin. Eat melanin based foods.

sunscreen limits vitamin d production from the sun. stop putting it on

 

[Giselle]

Yes we do!

I didn't use to wear it because I thought we didn't. I got sun burned on the back of my shoulders and it was gray for months until I exfoliated it off. My face got sun damaged because I didn't wear sunscreen. It would stay tan and shiny like a penny while the rest of my body loss it's tan during the winter. I had to go to a derm. to get it back to it's regular color. Retin a and chemical peels

Simply ,water, fruits and vegetables. Chlorophyll and melanin are pretty similar in structure and function(to absorb light and regulate)

I got burned at a outdoor concert back in high school, so I use sunscreen if I'm outside in the heat for more than a couple hours.
