There is still a myth that people with dark skin have a natural skin protection and do not need to use sunscreens and any UV protection. But as many myths this one is totally wrong. Even though dark skin tone is certainly more resistant to the sun rays, the risk of getting skin burn or skin cancer are as high.

Little bit of a theory

People with dark skin naturally produce more melanin, component that helps to protect the skin from UV-rays and other skin damage. Thus, it will take more time for dark-skinned person to get a sunburn under the direct sun ray compared to fair-skinned person. But this difference does not mean that they do not need to apply sunscreen daily. Constant UV and HEV (Blue rays) exposure can still lead to premature skin aging, dark spots, and pigmentation, and, of course, skin cancer.

Most of the times skin cancer discovered at the late stage compared to person with lighter skin
