One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that sunscreen is only necessary on sunny summer days. In reality, UV rays penetrate clouds and can damage skin year-round, even through a car or office window.
Darker skin tones do have more natural protection from melanin, but they are not immune to sun damage, premature aging, or skin cancer — sunscreen still matters for everyone.
For daily use, a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher applied every morning, and reapplied if you're outdoors for extended periods, is one of the simplest habits you can build for long-term skin health.
