Do I Even Need Sunscreen?: A Guide for Brown, Tan, and Dark Skin Tones

Let’s Clear the Air

“If I don’t burn, I don’t need SPF.”
Wrong. Darker skin tones are less likely to burn, but more likely to pigment. That means dark spots, uneven tone, and texture—all made worse by daily UV exposure.

Sun Damage Looks Different on Us

While Western skin reddens, Indian skin reacts silently—with slow-building signs like dullness, roughness, and persistent hyperpigmentation. It’s damage all the same, just invisible until it’s too late.

Your Shade Deserves Care

Whether you’re dusky, wheatish, or deep brown, your skin is beautiful—and worthy of real protection, not whitening promises. SPF is your daily armor. Own it.
