Darker skins still require sunscreens

August 13th, 2008

Many people with skin of colour think that they need less or no sunscreen.This is not true and skin of colour still needs regualr and repeated use of a broad spectrum sunscreen.
Based on where you live and the weather, you can choose an oil free sunscreen or a lotion or spray formulation to avoid the greasy feel in humid and tropical conditions, but you still need to use a sunscreen.

Hi-I am Mukta Sachdev, a consultant dermatologist working in Bangalore, India. I am basically from London UK and am settled and blogging from Bangalore, India.
I have been using the Baumann Skin Typing System in my practice in India.I have spent time with Dr.Leslie Baumann in Feb. to March 1999 where I completed my Fellowship in Cosmetic Dermatology and have been in cosmetic dermatology practice for nearly 10 years.
I work with skin of color and deal with cosmetic dermatology issues. I see patients with all kinds of skin problems and deal with darker skin types on a regular basis.
I also work with numerous different kinds of chemical peels and lasers along with of course Botox and fillers.
So if you have a query which I can help you on, especially in skin of color please do send it along and I will discuss this and do my best to help you.
