Black people, do you suffer from uneven skin complexion?
My face is lighter than my body, only because I wear sunscreen everyday in my moisturizer or foundation when I wear makeup, so my face doesn't get any tan from the sun, but my body does. I actually prefer being darker, but I don't want wrinkles on my face (or hands) so I always put sunscreen on every day. I feel naked without it. Otherwise, I have darker skin on the top part of my arm and lighter underneath, but that's normal. I like having different skin tones from the sun, it's more sun kissed looking. I'm pretty much the same color all over though, except for my face. I don't think you should "suffer" from it. Blacks in the U.S have more vitamin D deficiency though, so maybe you should go lay out in the sun for a while, I love the sun.
Do black people tan? Why?
For an answer based on personal experience and not science - YES we do tan and some of us do it on purpose.I am a brown skinned black woman. I’m not exceptionally dark, nor am I considered light skinned, but my body has 3 different shades of brown on it with varying gold, red and dark undertones. Some areas that get more sun exposure tend to be darker - face, arms, leg while other areas that get less sun exposure tend to be lighter - torso.I have deliberately laid out in the sun to even things up. Also, since scars from knicks, scratches and scrapes tend to show darker on my already brown skin, I might tan them to even out the skin tone. I have even used self tanning lotion on my legs - a trick I learned from another black woman who was a model. It gives our legs a nice evenly toasted tone.I have never used sunscreen. I have never had sunburn - and I’ve lived in New Orleans, Tuscaloosa and El Paso. I’ve spent hours on fishing boats in hot sun with reflection off water. I assumed it was because I was dark enough to fare well in such climates. My daughters, on the other hand, are a few shades lighter than me and I do put sun screen on them as a precaution.
