Sun Care for Dark Skin

Having dark or black skin makes detecting potentially dangerous moles and marks more difficult, so follow the same rules of protection as someone with fair skin.

Use hats when outdoors in intense heat and sun. The shade will provide hours of sun protection.

Use sunscreen all over your face and body and reapply every hour if you are being active and sweating. 

Get regular check up from your dermatologists.

Use SPF even on cloudy days during summer months.

Use a shot glass's worth of SPF lotion to cover your entire body.
