People has often mentioned that African-American's don't have to worry about SPF in make-up or sun screen when there on the beach. This is a myth and here is why.
Because of our African heritage, black and dark-skinned women and men have often been led to believe that dark skin is built for the sun. Though this may seem true, it is in fact untrue.
Most "blacks" living on the desert or in dry regions, are almost always covered, leaving very litttle skin exposed directly to the sun.
Even though we don't see the burn we can feel the burn. And over time you strip your epidermis (what you touch and see) down, making it worn, brittle and dry.
So I strongly suggest to EVERYONE including African-Americans, Africans, Biracial Americans whomever purchase a hydrating cream, sunscreen and products that has a SPF in them.
