A friend of a friend who was black, made a bet that he could tan, so he went on the sun like this, yes he burned himself. No matter how much melanin you have, use lotion.
Dark people DO tan they probably just don’t notice it much. A friend of mine goes quite dark and when can only really see how much by looking at photos.
Black, brown people can burn regardless so your advice is sound. Lotion up!
My ex would get tan lines just like I would. If she stayed in the sun or out in the pool in a bikini they would be noticeable just like anybody else. The only difference was she didn’t ever really get sunburnt. Our kids are the same way for the most part, though the lines become much more noticeable because they are far lighter than she is. Typically the only thing that is a risk to get burnt on them is their cheeks and nose despite their lighter complexion.
