Everyone should use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. People with darker skin have more melanin to absorb harmful UV rays, but that doesn't mean dark skin is immune to damage caused by the sun. Photodamage in people with darker skin tones leads to sagging of the skin, loss of volume in the face, and hyperpigmentation. While people with lighter skin tones tend to see fine lines and wrinkles show up first, darker skin tones will see changes in pigmentation that lead to dark patches (melasma) and uneven skin tone as a result of sun damage. People who have darker skin—and the slight protection that extra melanin provides—might be tempted to skimp. But New Zealand has one of the highest incidence rates of melanoma in the world, and a broad spectrum SPF of 30 or more is important for all skin tones.
