the melanin helps protect your skin, but it is not very strong.
It can protect you on a fairly warm day, but when its hot, you really should wear suncream/sunscrean.
They come in many variaties,
serums that sink in instantly, roll-on's that are quite handy,
or just plain suncream in squeasy bottle,my favourite:)
becuase its simple.
If you really want to protect yourself, the hotter the day, the higher the factor.
I wear a 30 on average, especially on holidays.
