I use sunscreen everyday even when it's cloudy which is more of the case in the Pacific Norhtwest. Skin cancer doesn't discriminate so I'm not taking any chances. On a beauty note, sunscreen is important to use to keep those skin discolorations from returning. I agree with Gisele B about the best protection is avoiding the sun, but please protect yourself when you do have to head outdoors. Peace and Love Bellas.

So many dark skin beauties think that skin cancer it not something they need to be concerned with...but as you've said, they sun turns a blind eye to skin colour. The sun will cast it's harmful rays to everyone...equally! The only way to be safe is to stay out of the sun! Gisele I agree.

I have a strange scabby thing on my arm that I've been ignoring for a bit, but reading this really prompted me to make an appt.with my doctor (silly, I know). It's probably nothing, but I'd rather be safe than sorry...Thanks again! Wow, thank you for this Afrobella.

It seems that so many times when I am pondering an issue in my life, you happen to bring it up here. Birth control, transitioning hair, natural hair in the workplace, etc., and now this. This is a bit of a sidenote from the extremely urgent issue of Cancer. However, like many other brown skinned women, I never thought it was important to use sunscreen. However, recently I have noticed that my Vitiligo (aka Michael Jackson disease) looks like it has begun to effect my face after many years of being stagnant on the right side of my upper body. I started to do some research on possible preventitive measures. And I found out how crucial it is for people with this condition to use sunscreen. So all of these years I have been basking in the sun without a care, I could have been preventing this spread from happening. So ladies, I say this to say, "black don't crack" but that doesn't mean that special care isn't neccessary for our skin. There are so many reasons why sunscreen is a must. Better safe than sorry!

It disscussed the likelyhood of developing skin cancer accoeding to skin color(by shade). It said that someone of Alec Wek's complection is very very unlikly to develop skin cancer. While, I think that skin cancer is an important issue for all blk people, I think there also needs an enphases placed on the fact that if you have fair skin(weather blk or white) you are at an increased risk for skin cancer.
