Sun protection matters throughout the year and across skin tones, including olive and dark complexions. UV exposure can damage skin, so it is worth planning for time outdoors. CDC sun-safety guidance describes practical ways to limit exposure.
Choose Appropriate Sunscreen
Use a sunscreen suited to your needs and follow its label directions for application and reapplication. A botanical face cream or oil should not be assumed to provide sun protection unless it is labeled for that purpose.
Use Shade and Clothing
Shade, a wide-brimmed hat, and clothing that covers exposed skin can all be part of an outdoor plan. Sun protection is not limited to hot or cloudless days.
Remember Your Eyes
Choose sunglasses labeled for UV protection and follow the manufacturer's information. Sun protection can be about comfort as well as care for exposed skin and eyes.
Keep Skincare Claims Separate
No moisturizer, serum, or botanical ingredient replaces sunscreen or guarantees that it will prevent sunburn or skin cancer. If you have concerns about a skin change, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Build a sun-protection routine that fits your activities and follow the directions of the products you use. Skin tone does not make sun care irrelevant.
