I don't know if it's just me but from my experience I never really see Black girls wear shorts. Which seems kind of odd to me because I would actually expect they'd be even MORE likely to wear shorts than White girls, since their skin color provides them with more protection from the sun while many White girls would usually get a sunburn on their legs if they didn't wear sunscreen.

Not to mention they'd look great in shorts since White girls often "fight" to get tan legs, while Black girls have them naturally!

So I don't understand this...

Just an observation I noticed... Black women don't really wear short shorts. It's kind of a shame, because as you can see by the example picture Black women can look REALLY good in short shorts. But most of the time they seem to opt for baggy oversized clothes. It'd make more sense for Black girls to wear short shorts more, because of protection from the sun and shit.

It doesn't really make sense that White girls wear short shorts so much more, since their skin is more suspectable to sunburn.

A study found that daily suncream usage reduces the effects of aging skin by 24%, and the sun's UVA rays damage the elastin in our skin, as we lose the elasticity in our skin causing it
to sag and stretch.

I personally use it often simply because I hate sunburn and prefer an even tan which sunscreen allows me, but this is a great benefit and cheap too, compared to buying 50£+ products later on in life when you can instead protect your skin. Even if you do not care about aging skin, it's useful for an even tan and protecting against sun damage/cancer.

Just make sure to wash suncream off as it blocks your pores, just like everyday sweat and grease does which can cause acne.
