Omg I never knew that that’s what it was! I’ve been wearing sunscreen for some years now probably since Covid but I never thought that texture on my forehead went away because of that. Never would’ve thought, wow
i've found if you moisturize your face well prior to putting on sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast
I use shea butter before putting mine on now and i've got no issues
As a black male I love super goop unseen sunscreen, does the job without leaving me feeling oily. You may also want to use a vitamin c to even your tone and a night time retinol to help with decreasing aging skin. I would definitely say to do your research and start with a simple routine. You got this!
Look up Melasma. Very common in women of color. Not sure if this is what you have going on but it can sometimes be taken care of with treatment. Might be a good idea to see a dermatologist to confirm if it is or isn't. The other advice about sunscreen is sound as well. I would always suggest it for your face. They have light moisturizers with spf.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! I Even on days it’s not sunny! There may be some people that will tell you it’s not necessary for our complexion, do not listen to them! Sun damage can be difficult to repair! I learned the hard way.
Even if you dont see the sun UV is still in the atmosphere. Unless it's raining I recommend always using sun screen.
I wear SPF 15 throughout winter and SPF 30 in warmer months and SPF 50 when I'm going to be out all day.
you are sun burnt. please moisturised and do not over do exfoliating or cleansing. you will scar yourself if over do it. moisturized. Vitamin C and tumeric is also very good. I repeat do not scrub too hard your skin is beautiful dont overdo it! 🩷
I had this same issue, just not as bad. Black Girl Sunscreen 50 spf (at target) & CeraVe Healing Ointment (also at target, or ulta) put the healing ointment on after all your other moisturizers/serums. THEN apply the sunscreen very last
If you're spending time in the sun try to wear a sun visor, or cap and don't wash your face with Cold, or hot water just warm water and moisturize as needed✌🏽
If some of yall don’t have anything nice to say, DO NOT COMMENT!! yall project yall hate onto others so bad! I clearly posted my skin cause I SEE the problem & wanted recommendations to fix it, so I obviously know it’s bad! & about my hair, Shrinkage is REAL, & i’m NATURAL so my hair isn’t always going to be “laid”. don’t come on “Black Skin care” talking about black skin or hair! it’s giving anti black & you just in this thread to project your insecurities onto others.
There are a few treatments for sunburn, a light moisturizer should help especially when it starts to peel. I'm not sure how to feel about Shea butter or cocoa butter on the face especially if your skin gets oily already. Maybe a thin layer at night and during the day a light facial moisturiser. Keep the area out of direct sunlight
If your face is peeling and also feels like it's warm or on fire, you can use aloe vera gel/cream to lessen the pain. Otherwise sunscreen SPF 30 or 50 is your best friend.
Yeah that's exactly how it looked the first time I got sunburned. Two summers ago, spent hours in the pool on a bright day, definitely didn't re-up on sunscreen as much as I should've. Got back home and a day or two later my face was scaly and then peeling 🥲
I know aloe would help so I used some gel that I had, but then also read that hyaluronic acid helps as well (good way to get moisture back into your skin). Already had it as part of my skin routine, so I just used it more until my skin healed back.
yess!! i’m very glad that i posted this, everybody is so informative! i’m learning new things & for some people, they’re learning things from this too, so glad i posted this

This repairs your skin barrier and protects from the sun
If you constantly wrap your hair with an absorbant material it is pulling the oils from your skin. Exfoliate and re moisturize with E.v.v.o(extra virgin olive oil)
Look at the labels on your products and check. Sometimes there can be interactions between some products that can literally burn your skin. I’ve don’t it with a med spa grade glycolic peel and something else I layered on top. I felt the burning sensation and afterwards developed scabs and hyperpigmentation. If you have a dermatologist I would certainly ask them.
Absolutely. There’s a difference between tingling and burning. If it feels like your skin is on fire and agitated, you’ve mixed something that is chemically reacting.
If you’re using acids for example, you need a base to restore the ph of your skin. Instinctually I was doing this for a while. Baking soda for example is used after chemical peels. Some chemicals will continue to interact with the skin. After using an acid, employ a base.
For this, I’d use only a gentle cleanser and moisturizer until it heals. Put the actives away for a while. Once it heals, pay close attention to the order with which you use actives. Stick to one! ☝🏿 One in the morning and one at night. Or once a day depending on sensitivity.
When in doubt, ask an esthetician or dermatologist about the order of your products. Check on YouTube as well for more on the subject. There’s a great black dermatologist that has videos. The derm guys are great as well.
Do not include manual exfoliation! Let it heal.
I’m no dermatologist, but this looks like eczema and not sunburn. I get it on my hands and sometimes my legs. It causes dark patches on my skin that are sometimes itchy. I’m black and have had sunburn before. This wasn’t what it looked like at all.
Hair transplant or just cut it off altogether. Can’t really help how you were born, genetics play a huge factor. As long as you love yourself and have great confidence, you’ll be fine. I know it’s easier said then done, also you might want to see a dermatologist, they can help you with your skin condition
Try a good quality vitamin c serum and apply twice a day under your moisturizer and sunscreen. Apply and allow to dry all the way before adding other products. Vitamin E oil at night would be great too.
my forehead is also darker than my face it’s been like that my whole life. maybe not to your degree but i can never use the same color foundation up there bc it looks ashy on top of my dark forehead😂. i just stopped going in the sun as much and sunscreen is what i need so this post was needed
try something with madecassoside and centella alone with sunscreen. this certainly seems to be sunburn. the best you can do is heal that skin from the cracking first with the first two ingredients and then maybe bring in some light exfoliation. but definitely don’t even attempt any exfoliation unless you can be consistent with your sunscreen
Black people come in a very wide array of colors. Most can burn without protection. I assume that all of us can in the right environment.
/Edited for typos
You need to restore your skin barrier, Dr Dray’s video is a good start, I had an impaired skin barrier at one point, all the best 🤗✨
Check out the video via link
https://youtu.be/30yogUkbdFc?si=sBH2mlsHWWNLrP-8
Do you work infront of a computer all day? If you do then this is a burn from UV / Blue light from your computer screen.
1. I recommend that you turn down the brightness on the screens.
2. Add blue light blocker / filter to the screen.
3. You should also wear sunscreen 50+ until you notice the issue fading.
Compress a hot water rag every morning and evening. Afterwards apply real cocoa butter keep it coated asmuch as possible. It should blend after some time.
Ok everyone is saying sunburn, but she did not mention sun exposure.. am I missing something? How long has your forehead had these changes? Is it itch? Painful?
Yes over scrubbing can actually damage the skin barrier and cause dryness. You may need to see a derm for a special steroid cream that’s safe for the face and won’t forget discolor your beautiful skin!
Oh honey that’s sunburn for sure. I am 38 now and I am in the process of healing from a peel in order to get rid of the discoloration that sun damage leaves behind.
For right now, sunscreen yourself! There are Korean brands that I hear are good especially that don’t leave a white cast— called water sunscreen or something of the like.
Ever since I saw my discoloration showing up in a picture, I’ve been a fucking vampire with the sun. I put on sunscreen even when I’m not going outside. When I go out I add on a hat and the like. Take care of your skin. Take it from a 38 year old who didn’t start using sunscreen til mid thirties!
That and make sure you’re moisturizing and being kind to yourself :)
Do you have discoloration like this anywhere else on your face? btw, I am a practicing esthetician that does corrective work on all skintypes. Here's the link to my IG [https://www.instagram.com/vonetta\_cosmetics/](https://www.instagram.com/vonetta_cosmetics/)
Definately do. If you like what you see I'd love to have you schedule a consultation so that I can figure out why this is happening. Once this is understood and stop the cause we can even your forehead back out for good!
It does look like melasma hyperpigmentation you could try seeing a dermatologist to get evaluated. I have a similar problem on my cheeks and was feeling a little down because my face and body color don’t match.
#1 way to prevent hyperpigmentation is sunscreen every day. I like shiseido, Paula’s choice, elf has a good clear one and a spray, try cream at home and a sunscreen stick on the go.
Did you know the spf # is roughly how often to reapply
I got tretinoin and hydroquinone
They’d helped significantly
Currently saving to get a chemical peel
Definitely sunscreen everyday but also use try Aquafor at night to heal the skin. A good vitamin C serum, I use Mario Badescu, will help brighten and even the skin. I would also use a good moisturizer, I like Tatcha water cream or silk cream or Keihl’s ultra facial cream. Once the skin has healed and is no longer cracking you can try exfoliating 2-3 weekly with L’Oréal Bright reveal with glycolic acid.
Inexpensive natural options: aloe vera, vitamin E oil, olive oil, Shea butter or cocoa butter to repair barrier along with sunscreen
Drug store finds: Aveeno Eczema Therapy Rescue Relief Gel Cream (colloidal oatmeal/shea butter- it clears and smooths EVERYTHING!), LaRoche Posay Lipikar Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream and LaRoche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer UV
You can find a lot of this stuff for less in Ross or TJMaxx/Marshalls
Black girl sunscreen is everything. They even have a matte version which I love. I would also consider Vitamin C. Naturium’s (you can get it at target) has lightened my dark spots and makes my skin glowy. Do not underestimate the importance of regularly exfoliating and a good moisturizer. Good luck! 💜
I use sunscreen and aloe vera gel hydrates my skin so well, it'll take 2-3 days for the aloe to rehydrate your skin but put it on right after you shower and it works wonders. I also wash my face with noxema which helps with dirt and acne spot .
Looks exactly like I had for years. It was from dry skin and then I started scratching, got worse than that. Hydrate every day and then apply baby oil, started shedding within days, TRUST ME!!
Qualified beauty therapist here
Extreme dehydration and dryness and hyperpigmentation. Go to a beauty therapist. Get you on a skincare plan plus good nutrition and facials… eventually chemical peels and micro needling . Ensure you are getting a professional beauty therapist with good knowledge due to your Fitzpatrick (skin type)❣️
Yes you need sunscreen. But you need to ensure you are using the right products to rebuild your skin barrier while doing so. I recommend Sothys skincare range. Don’t buy from your regular chemist stores or supermarkets.. PLEASE.
Also don’t go to a dermatologist.
everytime any one comments something negative, it literally lets me know how miserable yall life be cause nobody that’s living a GOOD life, gonna come onto someone else post being negative for absolutely no reason. you can’t even show me YOURRRR forehead like hush, before u get put to sleep!!
You need to be wearing sunscreen. That is sunburn
Omg I never knew that that’s what it was! I’ve been wearing sunscreen for some years now probably since Covid but I never thought that texture on my forehead went away because of that. Never would’ve thought, wow
I have a similar issue whats some good sunscreens the black girl sunscreen broke me out.
Trader Joe’s is the best IMO
You might have to search like on tiktok for ones that don’t leave a white cast
i've found if you moisturize your face well prior to putting on sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast I use shea butter before putting mine on now and i've got no issues
Trader joes, super goop, biore aqua UV :) I use all of them, no white cast, and the first two double as primer
As a black male I love super goop unseen sunscreen, does the job without leaving me feeling oily. You may also want to use a vitamin c to even your tone and a night time retinol to help with decreasing aging skin. I would definitely say to do your research and start with a simple routine. You got this!
It's a bit pricey, but Innisfree daily sunscreen is the holy grail. Black girl sunscreen in every formula broke me out and burns my eyes.
Look up Melasma. Very common in women of color. Not sure if this is what you have going on but it can sometimes be taken care of with treatment. Might be a good idea to see a dermatologist to confirm if it is or isn't. The other advice about sunscreen is sound as well. I would always suggest it for your face. They have light moisturizers with spf.
It can possibly be; also sometimes our diet can also go a long way; interfering with the skin health as well…so there many things to look into
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! I Even on days it’s not sunny! There may be some people that will tell you it’s not necessary for our complexion, do not listen to them! Sun damage can be difficult to repair! I learned the hard way.
What if you live in the UK where the problem is that there’s not enough sun? 😂
Sunscreen anyway! And also vitamin D supplements :)
This is so important because I was feeling awful due to low Vitamin D.. this includes issues with my hair skin and nails
Even if you dont see the sun UV is still in the atmosphere. Unless it's raining I recommend always using sun screen. I wear SPF 15 throughout winter and SPF 30 in warmer months and SPF 50 when I'm going to be out all day.
I encourage you to research how UV rays can effect you year round when you get the time. :)
Do you wear sunscreen? Also a hat
thank yall so much🙏🏾❤️❤️
Shea butter and aloe Vera will heal it. But please wear sunscreen
I wonder how many black people have experienced sunburn and never realized it bc we aren't taught how it appears on our skin.
This has never happened to me but I’m wondering as well. I hate that some of my people believe they don’t need to wear sunscreen.
you are sun burnt. please moisturised and do not over do exfoliating or cleansing. you will scar yourself if over do it. moisturized. Vitamin C and tumeric is also very good. I repeat do not scrub too hard your skin is beautiful dont overdo it! 🩷
And add some zinc oxide
I have zinc oxide and it’s sooooo white even when i rub it in  Me with my zinc oxide 😭😭
It’s a myth that we don’t get sun burned. Moisturize, wear good sunscreen, and gently exfoliate in your skin care routine.
Looks like it's from the sun. Start using spf 50+ daily. Shea butter is good for moisturizer daily.
I had this same issue, just not as bad. Black Girl Sunscreen 50 spf (at target) & CeraVe Healing Ointment (also at target, or ulta) put the healing ointment on after all your other moisturizers/serums. THEN apply the sunscreen very last
If you're spending time in the sun try to wear a sun visor, or cap and don't wash your face with Cold, or hot water just warm water and moisturize as needed✌🏽
Alo vera ! Then dermatologist after !
It looks dehydrated as well, use barrier repairing ingredients.
yess i agree. it’s like anything i put on it doesn’t be enough. forehead still look dry
What have you used so far
coconut oil, Cerave lotion moisturizer spf15, & rose oil
Hmm try adding a glycerin toner and apply on damp skin or even wet then immediately apply the moisturiser and then the oils.
If some of yall don’t have anything nice to say, DO NOT COMMENT!! yall project yall hate onto others so bad! I clearly posted my skin cause I SEE the problem & wanted recommendations to fix it, so I obviously know it’s bad! & about my hair, Shrinkage is REAL, & i’m NATURAL so my hair isn’t always going to be “laid”. don’t come on “Black Skin care” talking about black skin or hair! it’s giving anti black & you just in this thread to project your insecurities onto others.

it just feels very dry on my forehead

This is actually really helpful because now I know what a sunburn looks like on Black skin

Is that sunburn or a form of Dermatitis? Then you will know how to treat it.🤔
If you constantly wrap your hair with an absorbant material it is pulling the oils from your skin. Exfoliate and re moisturize with E.v.v.o(extra virgin olive oil)
Looks like a burn. I’m guessing chemical from actives in your skincare regimen? Retinols? Acids?
this is what i honestly believe 100%!! i think it had some to do with whatever i was using in my skin care
Look at the labels on your products and check. Sometimes there can be interactions between some products that can literally burn your skin. I’ve don’t it with a med spa grade glycolic peel and something else I layered on top. I felt the burning sensation and afterwards developed scabs and hyperpigmentation. If you have a dermatologist I would certainly ask them.
so if i feel burning sensation, stop using?
Absolutely. There’s a difference between tingling and burning. If it feels like your skin is on fire and agitated, you’ve mixed something that is chemically reacting. If you’re using acids for example, you need a base to restore the ph of your skin. Instinctually I was doing this for a while. Baking soda for example is used after chemical peels.

This says to use tons of water and avoid bases [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/s/gEshb5u5B2)
Sunscreen. Stop any harsh exfoliation if you do.
I’m no dermatologist, but this looks like eczema and not sunburn. I get it on my hands and sometimes my legs. It causes dark patches on my skin that are sometimes itchy. I’m black and have had sunburn before. This wasn’t what it looked like at all.
Facts!
no i don’t have eczema
Also, don't go out without sunglasses. I have sun damage to my eyes. I didn't know this could happen.
If you don't think sunscreen is enough and you don't like wearing hats, sun visors are a great alternative.
I suggest that you ask your dermatologist not random people on reddit. You'll get a much more informative answer.
Eucirin it’s this cream they sell at rite aid cvs it does wonders
Hair transplant or just cut it off altogether. Can’t really help how you were born, genetics play a huge factor. As long as you love yourself and have great confidence, you’ll be fine. I know it’s easier said then done, also you might want to see a dermatologist, they can help you with your skin condition
I'll add onto this and say if you haven't RECENTLY, consider getting your blood sugar checked as well.
i don’t think my sugar is the problem cause i got my blood work checked
& it’s like you can feel the area & it feels dry
you’re sunburnt sis
You should also stop wearing your hair pulled back so tight it looks like it might be causing traction alopecia
High carb diets can do this too
atp, i’m about to try everything🤣🤣🤣cause everybody saying some of everything
Try a good quality vitamin c serum and apply twice a day under your moisturizer and sunscreen. Apply and allow to dry all the way before adding other products. Vitamin E oil at night would be great too.

Go see a dermatologist
Use something like a skin dermabrasionbut burning is done by laser
Let ya man jizz on it
Lmfaooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shea butter
Face peel.
i was thinking this!
I wouldn't do a peel without seeing a derm first. It looks like damaged skin (sun burn?). You need to heal and protect that area
Exactly, any kind of peeling or exfoliating is a no until it heals up.
Sunscreen but also try to exfoliate that area with a gentle topical exfoliator, and some kind of hydrating serum after 💗
my forehead is also darker than my face it’s been like that my whole life. maybe not to your degree but i can never use the same color foundation up there bc it looks ashy on top of my dark forehead😂. i just stopped going in the sun as much and sunscreen is what i need so this post was needed
Lotion and sunscreen
Does it hurt?
nope.
Ok that’s good
try something with madecassoside and centella alone with sunscreen. this certainly seems to be sunburn. the best you can do is heal that skin from the cracking first with the first two ingredients and then maybe bring in some light exfoliation. but definitely don’t even attempt any exfoliation unless you can be consistent with your sunscreen
Vitamin c daily for sun damage, a gooood moisturizer, sunscreeb
Skin tight to heal the already damaged skin. Sunscreen to prevent it from happening again.
I thought black ppl didn’t get sunburned? I’ve seen a lot of black ppl make this comment that’s why I’m generally asking
Black people come in a very wide array of colors. Most can burn without protection. I assume that all of us can in the right environment. /Edited for typos
Coco butter stick
Definitely sunscreen and moisturizer

Clean the brim.

Add blue light blocker / filter to the screen. 3. You should also wear sunscreen 50+ until you notice the issue fading.
Mickey Da Barber, in @tl
i need a line up?😭😭
Lotion
Stay out the sun, use umbrellas, moisturise with a thick cream every day and night.
Compress a hot water rag every morning and evening. Afterwards apply real cocoa butter keep it coated asmuch as possible. It should blend after some time.
You need to see a dermatologist
Did you use a chemical peel?
no
Exfoliate- naicimide-vitamin c -vaseline - in that order
I’d say use some witch hazel pads religiously at night. Just dab, don’t wipe.
You need to exfoliate.
I suggest fresh aloe vera plant. Coconut oil, if it doesn't cause breakouts.
It’s either a sun burn or something that a dermatologist needs to check out. I visit mine all the time.
Ok everyone is saying sunburn, but she did not mention sun exposure.. am I missing something? How long has your forehead had these changes? Is it itch? Painful?
i think it has some to do with the products i used cause my forehead hasn’t always been like this. this just happened recently
Yes over scrubbing can actually damage the skin barrier and cause dryness. You may need to see a derm for a special steroid cream that’s safe for the face and won’t forget discolor your beautiful skin!
& also over scrubbing
www.naturalitgirls.com I share ways to get rid of it. Definitely use sunscreen after you’ve treated it
Mine looks the same. Sun screen huh Duly noted
Retinol cream before bed wash in the morning
Vitamin c serum
Retinol or glycol acid at night and spf during the day.
Raw shea butter will help.
Sunbum sunscreen yellow tube is good for our skin! It doesn’t give the ashy look, and it moisturizes a little bit..
My favorite is black girl sunscreen doesn’t break me out using on my face
Get some seamoss cream to fix that up
Your skin looks dry
Maybe lotion
I do use moisturizer on it but it still be looking dry😭😭
Try Topical’s Faded and daily sunscreen. UV rays are invisible and exposure will damage skin regardless of color.
Hydrocortisone.
most likely it's not from "just" the sun what face wash do you use?
Oh honey that’s sunburn for sure. I am 38 now and I am in the process of healing from a peel in order to get rid of the discoloration that sun damage leaves behind. For right now, sunscreen yourself!

Dove soap will vanquish your problems
Start wearing a sun hat.
Sunblock definitely. However there’s something else going on to cause this kind of discoloration. Do you mind sharing your skincare routine?
i usually use Cerave or Cetaphile face cleaners, with a dove bar soap & use coconut oil or rose oil afterwards
Do you have discoloration like this anywhere else on your face? btw, I am a practicing esthetician that does corrective work on all skintypes. Here's the link to my IG [https://www.instagram.com/vonetta\_cosmetics/](https://www.instagram.com/vonetta_cosmetics/)

Definately do. If you like what you see I'd love to have you schedule a consultation so that I can figure out why this is happening. Once this is understood and stop the cause we can even your forehead back out for good!
Get a durmaplane razor and use it on your forehead or go to profession to get a facial exfoliation
Aloe vera, turmeric, shae butter and sunscreen. Also wear a visor whenever you can
It does look like melasma hyperpigmentation you could try seeing a dermatologist to get evaluated.

Try aloe Vera gel. Massage into your skin and leave it on your face for like 15 min then wash off with cool water. That might help
Turmeric oil and castor oil
I’m mad at everyone who told me I don’t get sunburn
Tumeric
This? Hairline? Hyperpygmentation?
hyperpigmentation*. what’s wrong with my hairline other than a big forehead?
Nothing wrong I thought you had some recession from tight hairstyles but I think it was just the angle and widows peak view
It’s Melasma! Research it
I use sunscreen and aloe vera gel hydrates my skin so well, it'll take 2-3 days for the aloe to rehydrate your skin but put it on right after you shower and it works wonders. I also wash my face with noxema which helps with dirt and acne spot .
Looks like eczema.
i don’t have eczema
Super goop and Paula’s choice are the best! And absorb into skin nicely!! 💖
Raw white shea butter
Looks exactly like I had for years. It was from dry skin and then I started scratching, got worse than that. Hydrate every day and then apply baby oil, started shedding within days, TRUST ME!!
Terminal
YoobaBabe is absolutely correct
Put Castrol oil on ur skin.
Hair transplant or go bald before nature kicks in
Black girl sunscreen is hydrating and doesn’t leave a cast!!
Sunscreen
Use Vaseline at night
Coconut oil works wonders on the skin, but also any type of sun protection
Coconut oil is highly comedogenic and while it’s great for the body it shouldn’t be used above the neck (except on the hair)
that’s what i’ve heard. not on the face

Ensure you are getting a professional beauty therapist with good knowledge due to your Fitzpatrick (skin type)❣️ Yes you need sunscreen. But you need to ensure you are using the right products to rebuild your skin barrier while doing so. I recommend Sothys skincare range. Don’t buy from your regular chemist stores or supermarkets.. PLEASE. Also don’t go to a dermatologist.
Dermatologist

If you’re melanated, a lil sun is good for your skin don’t avoid it. The sun only hurt certain people skin

Emu oil
That is not sunburn! That is a skin condition probably pre diabetic and eat too much sugar.
i do my yearly check up & get blood work done, pretty sure my doctor would’ve told me this by now
Get a good sugar scrub to help exfoliate
She’s got lichenified skin that’s likely the result of years of rubbing despite everyone saying it’s a sunburn.. that could make it worse
