Your skin tans easily and rarely burn, but you are still at risk of skin cancers. Seek shade between 10 AM – 4 PM, when the sun is strongest. Cover up with a hat, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+. Acral lentiginous melanoma, a very virulent form of the disease, is more common among darker-skinned people. These melanomas tend to appear on parts of the body not often exposed to the sun and often remain undetected until after the cancer has spread. Check your skin head-to-toe each month. Tell your healthcare provider about any suspicious growths and have an annual professional skin exam. Keep an eye out for any suspicious growths, especially on the palms, soles of the feet, and mucous membranes.
A cool skin undertone is characterized by hints of pink, red, or blue hues beneath the surface of the skin. Individuals with cool undertones often have veins that appear more bluish in color and tend to burn more easily than tan when exposed to sunlight. Those with cool undertones are typically complemented by jewel-toned clothing and makeup shades, enhancing the complexion with colors like sapphire blue, emerald green, and cool berry tones.
