[quote=Anonymous]I also did not realize sunscreen does not prevent tanning until I had a child with my much darker skinned husband. I’m white as a sheet and don’t tan at all. The only thing that happens to me in the sun is I get a light dusting of freckles and then turn completely pink. Sunscreen prevents me from turning pink, so naturally I assumed it would protect against tanning as well. Nope! I called the dermatologist thinking I must be applying sunscreen incorrectly on my child or using an ineffective brand. She was so amused to have to tell me no, this is just how the sun works on people with actual melanin in their skin. [/quote]
