Still, melanin is not a full shield. Black skin can still be affected by UVA rays, which can contribute to premature aging and hyperpigmentation, and UVB rays, which can contribute to sunburn and skin cancer risk.<\/p><p>Sunburn may be harder to see on deeper skin tones. Instead of obvious redness, it may show as warmth, tenderness, tightness, peeling, itching, or a change in skin color.<\/p><p>Black people can also get skin cancer. In darker skin tones, it may be noticed later, especially in areas people do not check often.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> See a dermatologist if you notice a new, changing, bleeding, painful, or non-healing spot.<\/p><p>Check often-missed areas such as:<\/p><ul><li>Palms<\/li><li>Soles<\/li><li>Under nails<\/li><li>Lips<\/li><li>Ears<\/li><li>Scalp or hairline<\/li><li>New or changing spots<\/li><\/ul><p>Black skin has built-in protection, but it still needs sunscreen, shade, clothing, and smart sun habits.<\/p><h2>Why Sunscreen Matters for Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation<\/h2><p>For many Black readers, sunscreen is not only about avoiding sunburn. It also helps protect tone. UV exposure can make post-acne marks, melasma, uneven tone, and hyperpigmentation look darker or last longer.<\/p><p>If you are treating dark spots but skipping sunscreen, results will usually be slower and less stable. Sunscreen will not remove hyperpigmentation by itself, but it helps prevent spots from getting worse and supports the results of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zicailbeauty.com\/skincare-routine-order\/\">your skincare routine<\/a>.<\/p><p>Daily SPF is especially useful if you have:<\/p><ul><li>Post-acne marks<\/li><li>Melasma<\/li><li>Uneven skin tone<\/li><li>A brightening routine<\/li><li>Exfoliating products or active skincare ingredients<\/li><\/ul><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zicailbeauty.com\/sunscreen-101\/\">Sunscreen protects your progress<\/a>.
