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 neutral skin undertone is balanced, with neither predominant hints of warm nor cool tones. Veins on individuals with neutral undertones may appear to be a mix of blue and green. Those with a neutral skin tone may tan when exposed to sunlight, but they can also burn. Neutral undertones offer versatility for makeup and clothing choices, with almost anything on the color wheel being complimentary to the complexion, from cool blues and purples to warm oranges and browns.
