The pros also weigh in and share their go-to sunscreen recommendations that won’t leave behind a white cast on darker skin.
Relying solely on your face mask will do "very little good in terms of sun protection."īeauty experts also helped me understand why Black people might believe they don’t need sunscreen - and what’s the minimum SPF level necessary to protect ourselves from the sun's harsh rays. Yes, you still need to wear sunscreen under your face mask. Todd Minars, MD, a board-certified dermatologist previously told us: “UPF is a rating that's used to measure the amount of UVA and UVB radiation that comes from the sun and is able to penetrate a person's clothing and reach their skin.” Non- UPF clothes offer no more than SPF 7 protection, and drops down to SPF 3 once you begin sweating, said Jeanine Downie, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Image Dermatology in New Jersey.
Consumers can purchase clothing and hats with Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF).

The most SPF that skin itself can offer - regardless of skin tone - is about SPF 13, according to Michelle Henry, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York. The natural SPF protection from your complexion and the barrier of your clothes aren't enough to protect against UVA rays, which increase signs of aging, and UVB rays, which cause skin burns - applying sunscreen is a must. Of course, the medical experts we consulted make a case for why Black people should apply sunscreen - and their reasoning goes beyond the risk of skin cancer. Realizing white cast from sunscreen isn't an isolated occurrence, I felt compelled to reach out to a few Black beauty editors, and board-certified dermatologists, to determine the best sunscreens for darker skin tones. After spending weeks testing out new formulas, I wasn't totally in love with any of the options I came across because they either didn't work with my oily skin or made me look like a ghost. Understanding the importance of wearing sunscreen, I began searching for a replacement. The mattifying sunscreen formula I loved no longer disappears into my caramel complexion and now leaves behind a dreaded white cast. The only problem? My favorite sunblock (which I've been purchasing since 2018), recently changed its formula in order to abide by Hawaii's reef-safe mandate. There's a plethora of different types of sunscreen to shop online and in-person - spray sunscreen, acne-prone sunscreen, sunscreen for indoors and so on.
