Yep, however my friends and family who have darker skin tend to believe that it makes them immune to it, which isn't the case, if anything they can get away with using sunscreen with lower fps and/or reapply less often, but everyone should protect their skin regardless.
Can confirm i am a melanated individual who doesn't use sunblock as often as i should (but im also never outside LMFAO)
But yes you're absolutely correct but I just wanted to clarify that we should be using sunblock but nevertheless it's still not as much of a risk to us
