A lot of older black people have dark patches on their face. That's sun damage. I also have a co worker who has a permanent tan that is 5 shades darker than his natural color. It looks so odd and has already lead to premature aging.
Think your skin can beat the sun brehs.
You said OLDER black people, which makes sense, they’re bodies are breaking down! Putting on sunscreen for them is even worse cause now they will have very little vitamin D in their system, that means weak bones, that’s the last thing an older person needs
if our skin couldn’t handle the sun you would see all types of black people getting skin burn from the day you was born. I never seen it. I’ve seen skin peeling but that’s cause the person went from cold to hot real fast, and the skin has to adjust quickly so it forms new skin, and gets rid of the old top layer
Sunburn is literally being burned by the sun, most white people experienced it at some time in their life. Even when it’s snowing!
As long as you drink or eat a lot fresh fruit juice/fruits, you will have quality skin cause fruit is full vitamin C which helps make collagen, and elastin, they’re what most of your skin is made up of. And the pigments help make vitamin A which is good for the skin as well as help protect against uv Sunrays from hurting you
As long as you have melanin, and eat properly, you shouldn’t need sunscreen, in fact it may make things worse if you are low in Vitamin D. Pills can never equal what the sun, and your skin, makes
