If you can't learn from animals the evolve around avoiding long term sun light from the smallest insects to the biggest mammals

I got sunburned once (about LeBrons complexion).

It took 5.5 hours laying shirtless in the sun with very little movement. There was no pain, just a little peeling and my chest got way darker.

#TeamDarkskint has to be careful but we need a lot more sun than light skins and whites because it's harder for us to absorb the vitamin d from the sun.

I sometimes burn - just depends

Just use coconut oil.

And African shea butter. Its a natural sunscreen

Black people get skin cancer. Our skin depending on how dark the shade it is can give some protection so we can stay out longer. But you can and will get sunburnt if you stand up in the sun in between 10-2 especially in the tropics.

what if you're just driving your car around?

 

[Aba_juggin]

Ya'll can't be this dumb.

Just wear sunblock for fukks sake.

Jesus Christ, coli.

Moisturizer with SPF 15 every day, sunblock if I'm going to the pool.

Read you need to up that to 30 playa, I don't want no smoke.

Read you need to up that to 30 playa, I don't want no smoke.

For daily use, melanin + SPF 15 is more than sufficient.

But yea if I'm going out to the sun I up it to 30.

 

[Geode]

I've gotten sunburn before and I'm pretty dark. But most of the time it's because I've been in the sun four hours, like laying on the beach.
