Yes... I have dark skin as well... and it is harder to burn but we can... so sunscreen can help... but since you are already burned try putting some aloe on

Never mind the wrinkles you are more prone to skin cancr-When are you all going to learn the Sun is not your skin's friend? One hundred years ago women protected their skin and milky white was considered beautiful. Skin color is not a sign of true beauty and I think red heads with fair skin are as lovely as anyone who tans. Women who don't tan will look a lot younger than the ones who do. If you want skin like shoe leather in the future and possibly cancer keep tanning

OK, I'm so pale during the winter my skin is translucent, which means you can see veins in my hands, arms, legs, and even sometimes face. It takes forever to get a tan, and I usually burn first, my knees tan, but my legs don't. Being darker is a blessing, you're so much less likely to get skin cancer. \n\nAs far as passing on this opinion that darker is something less, you have to start with yourself. Breakdown that mental and emotional barrier, wake up everyday, and look in the mirror tell yourself how nice your skin looks today, smooth, warm. Find one thing you really like about your body and compliment yourself on it. I like my eyes, and depending on what bra I'm wearing I'll tell myself how perky the girls look. Well you get the idea.\n\nWhile it's true that personality matters too, you could be taken advantage of emotionally if you're not self-confidant. Appreciating who you are is part of having a good personality.

Supposedly (according to the Montel Williams show) it is possible, but I've never seen it happen.\n\nMy son's father is very dark, I am sort of medium olive-skinned, and my son is about the same shade as my light-skinned black roommate, whose parents are both much darker than she is. \n\nIn my experience, children will often turn out to be LIGHTER-skinned than their parents, but almost never darker. I am a prime example of this. I do know a few individuals who have children that are marginally darker than their parents, but never a biracial kid.

By birth there is no colour difference.but as they grow up they expose to the sunlight and when the body lacks Vit A the body in order to protect itself from the harmful UVA and UVB rays produce more melanin in the body and as a result the skin darkens at knees and elbows.

if i like your inside character, freckles or not is not a problem, i am blk by the way. I don't know if you prefer white skin over blk or something like that.\nBut for me all that matters is your character.

YIKES, too much.  I wish I could post this picture of a friend of mine that's orange but I would be afraid she might see it and kick my butt.  It's scary!  Her white eyes are so bright and her skin is dark orange/brown.

I personally haven't...but I think the closest ones I know of would be people like Michael Jackson and Prince who try to lighten their skin to appear white.  They both were beautiful people w/ their given skin color (pre MJ's surgeries) and their skin lightening totally ruined it.  I know it's not really white supremacy, but in theory they were going against their own race.  Your question is intriguing, though.

People with certain skin pigmentation can tend to be darker in areas like the knees, elbows, etc.  You can actually have spot areas bleached to correct it.\n\nIt is also possible to have staining on rough and dry skin (which kness can be) that appears to never go away.  My husband is a mechanic, and his hands stay with black color in the creases no matter how he scrubs.  We went on vacation for 2 weeks this summer, and it had worn off by the time we got back because his hands got a break from all the chemicals and oil.  So depending on the environment and what that person does all day, say, a gardener that always wears shorts, it's possible that it could be something like that.

i think ur talking about skin pigmentations, in humans, melanin is what gives us our skin color.

is your friend naturally dark? if so, i'm afraid we can't do anything about that. unless of course she wants to follow michael jackson's footsteps. =( and that would be very costly, since his treatment is lifetime. his treatment involves this medication that inhibits his melanocytes to produce its natural pigment. if he stops that treatment, he'll turn to his natural complexion again.\n\nanyway, back to your friend. just as your first answerer said, "less sun would do". keeping yourself away from the sun will return your melanocytes back to its original pigment.\n\nalso, being dark isn't that bad. a bit of glow in the skin would make her look beautiful. loads of people want to get tan or bronze. just tell her to eat healthy, and ignore those who tease her. soon, she'll be much more beautiful than those who are teasing her now. just stay with her and assure that everything will be all right.\n\nyou could try telling her to buy some body wash with citrus content, as citrus exfoliates skin and makes it grow lighter.

The real question is why are white people white.  Most of the world’s people are “black”. The earliest humans were presumably “black”. Only people from North-Western Europe have “white” skin. White people are the mutant  form of humanity, so the real question is why.\n\n\nWhat it seems to come down to is that white people are white because there is no reason why they can’t be. There is all sorts of speculation that white skin serves to aid in vitamin syntheis and so forth, but that makes little sense since people in Tierra del Fuego, Tasmania, Siberia or Alaska do not have white skins despite living at much higher attitudes than most white Europeans.\n\n\nBasically once people left the low latitudes they no longer relied on dark pigments to protect the skin.  Those mutants born with paler skin survived and the genes gradually spread, possibly aided by sexual selection.\n\nThere doesn’t appear to be any real benefit in having white skin since people have survived perfectly well in all environments with black, brown and yellow skin.

Skin tone is determined by the amount and type of the pigment melanin in the skin.   In general, people with ancestors from sunny regions have darker skin than people with ancestors from regions with less sunlight. However, this is complicated by the fact that there are people with ancestors from both sunny and less sunny regions, and whose skin color may have any shade of the spectrum of possible tones. On average, women have slightly lighter skin than men.\n\nPeople who lived in very sunny climates needed darker skin for protection from the sun's rays.
