The sun is a constant presence in our lives, offering warmth and light that shapes our daily experiences. For years, we’ve received warnings about the potential risks of too much sun exposure.

This connection holds particular importance for individuals with darker skin, as it pertains to circadian rhythms. The level of melanin in our skin, which determines how our skin reacts to sunlight, influences the production of melatonin in our bodies. Recognizing this intricate relationship, Yaah! underscores the complex interplay between sunlight and the overall benefits of sun therapy for dark skin.
