Best Sun Protection for Black Skin?
Question:
Could someone please advice me on the best Sun protection to use on black skin as the one currently being used leaves skin looking like its been covered in calamine lotion. Thanks
Answers:
sun blocks work the same for black skin as they do for white skin or asian skin, and it looks the same no matter who wears it. sun screens are not recommended for long term use, it has chemicals in it that react with human skin to actually cause cancers. So, either wear sun block or avoid the sun.
an umbrella
As higher spf factor as you can,
the best protection is to not go out in the sun in the midday when its at it hottest, if you have to go out then, cover up and wear a hat.
Try any of the lancaster sun care range
if you want the best go to a dermatologist
Normal sun protection, refresh the skin with water every 30 minutes and after sun use white vinager with lemon, smell awful but is quite effective...
Check with your local pharmacy, or doctor.
Explain to them your concerns, and they should give you advice on which product is best for you.
Although there is much advice about sun protection, and I am white skinned, it seems biased on white skin, maybe there should be more advice out there for black skin, your health is just as important as mine.
Hope this helps.
