Do Ya’ll Use SPF Sunblock Cream/lotion?

[Prince.Skeletor]

What’s the deal
I keep hearing that it’s important to use even if you not white.

Is that true?

Saying black folk "need" it is mostly a marketing/diversity and inclusion tool imo (exception if you are using skin care products that increase sun sensitivity) but i do try to wear it, in theory it can slow down aging

OP is Indian. Why are you asking us this question?

 

[Fill Collins]

No. Only used it a handful of times. Dark skinned too.

I use it in the beginning of summer of if I haven't been outside for a while. You should use it but I usually forget.

 

[Zime]

I use it everyday

 

[hostsamurai]

Dark skinned. I use it everyday. I pass for anywhere between 23-30. Maybe that's genetics or skincare, I don't know.

My derm recommends spf 30 or higher. I alternate between Supergoop's unseen sunscreen or their glow stick. I like those because the don't leave a white cast on your skin. The unseen one mattifies while the stick gives you a glow

What's your skin type? If you don't know, after washing your face wait 5 minutes and look in the mirror. If it's normal, you have normal skin. If some parts are oily while others are normal, that's combination. If you're shining like a buttered biscuit, oily. If you look ashy, dry. You need to pick a sunscreen for your skin type.

I'm all in on skin care. I don't play about it lol

Same thing happened to me in Jamaica and I learned my lesson. It was on my upper body though. It was a mild discomfort but I don't want to feel it again
