Sunscreen Doesn't Prevent Tanning for Darker Skin Tones

A doctor named Dr. Shreya Sankhe explained that sunscreen is great for protecting your skin from sunburn and long-term damage, but it doesn't stop your skin from tanning, especially if you have medium to dark brown skin.

She said that if you spend a lot of time outside, like hiking or swimming, your skin will naturally tan.

Fair skin tones might not tan as much, but darker skin tones will.

She advised people to keep using sunscreen, cover up when they can, and drink plenty of water.

She also said not to worry too much about tanning because it's a natural part of living and enjoying the outdoors.
