💨 Abstract

Despite its pros, melanin doesn’t completely protect against a variety of skin damage from the sun. UV rays can penetrate skin of any complexion, thus sunscreens with minimum SPF 30 remains crucial. Chemical-based sunscreens can prevent a white discoloration and black people are advised to look at the options for sunscreen that neat fits their skin. However, some UV rays can penetrate towards skin even through windows.
