Protecting your African American skin in the summer is important, considering that increased exposure to the sun can contribute to skin cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, sunglasses are a good way to protect your eyes and the skin around them from UV rays.
Recently, Bold Sky published an article with tips on picking the right sunglasses for this season, and what makeup you can wear with your frames .
"If you are wearing spectacles or sunglasses, your under eye dark circles will be clearly visible. So, do not forget to apply a concealer and hide the dark spots under your eyes," according to the news source.
The information provider also recommended keeping your complexion in mind when choosing sunglasses. They said that lighter shades look great on dark skin, such as yellows or light blues. Of course, black frames are classic and can go with any type of complexion.
Also, you may want to keep your foundation with you when you are out wearing sunglasses. That way, you can cover up any marks on your face that the glasses leave behind when you take them off.
