Do people with dark brown skin(asian\subcontinent skin) need sunscreen.if yes then which spf level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If exposed to ultraviolet rays, as on a beach, people with brown and even black skin can get sun burns and it would be prudent to use sunscreen. SPF 15 would be sufficient. SPF 30 would not do any harm. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
