Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.
Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??
Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.
Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.
“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”
Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.
I use this sunscreen from Walmart. It’s cheap, doesn’t leave a white cast, and smells pretty good.
Duuuude my family uses that and it’s Soo nice it even smells good
Same for brown people, are skin may be dark but we do burn!
Korean and Japanese sunscreens are also a great option for deeper skin tones! Their formulas are way more sophisticated that most US sunscreens, don’t feel greasy, and most don’t leave a white cast. Biore Aqua watery essence and Purito Centella green level sunscreen are especially nice and not crazy expensive
this. Is everything.
Please.
Black folks can definitely get sunburned, and I have seen some bad cases.
Find a sunblock that works for you and use it. Please.
“scientists expecting a 4th wave of covid” how is that possible……… wait you don’t think………….. no………………… you don’t think unvaccinated people are going outside without masks pretending to be vaccinated………….?
Damn I’m so glad I learned shit like long division, integers, proofs, graphs, and algebra. I definitely use it everyday instead of something useful like taxes, budgeting, and basic addition and subtraction. My teachers were very right when they told me that “it’s not like you will be walking around with a calculator in your pocket.” 🥴
Dang I will have to take MORE of those classes in college? Spend my fucking money on useless shit? I love the math curriculum I love that I’d have to take more of that torture for a degree that doesn’t require it. I fucking LOVE how it’s that same shit I haven’t done for eight years that’s keeping me away from college. I love that the dyslexia accommodations do nothing I FUCKING LOVE studying my ass off and trying my fucking hardest but I can’t. Do. Math. 😩 Someone fucking shoot me
