Hello ladies
I have medium toned skin (I am Asian) that tends to tan very easily. I like to keep myself on the lighter side of my skin tone (I just think I look better that way, not that there is anything wrong with dark skin) so I wear a lot of sunblock, esp in the warmer months or when I am running. I have noticed that even with ample SPF 50 I still get dark. My friend says that you can still tan with sunblock on, you are just not getting the sun damage that goes with it. Now this goes against everything that I have every learned about skin. Tan=exposure to UVA/UVB=sunblock not working. So who is right, me or my friend?
