βοΈ MYTH or FACT? Darker Skin Doesn't Need Sunscreen! π
π« MYTH! Every skin tone needs sun protection. While melanin offers some natural protection, it doesn't block all harmful UV rays.
β¨ Why SPF matters for every skin tone:
βοΈ Helps prevent sun damage and premature aging
π€ Helps reduce worsening of dark spots and melasma
π‘οΈ Helps protect against skin cancer
π‘ Your daily reminder: Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours when outdoors.
Healthy skin deserves protection at every shade! π€
