@@Shelbzznot everyone comes from a multi-cultural country. Edit: lol, the amount of people lacking basic comprehension skills 😂 No, hunnies, I dont think black people don't tan. And yes, most people are dumdums. A dumdum can't use logic very well. Ergo, if someone never thought about this, is not exposed to it, then yeah, a lot of dumdums will be surprised to learn that ;)
People can generally not comprehend that people tan when they spend time outside...like, I am white and love spending time outside, so I also get darker in summer (especially after I was in Egypt) and EVERYTIME I get accused of switching races or some bs. No, I just don't spend all of my time on a couch, madame. Celebrities also have to put up with that bs occasionally
true, I never wondered if dark skinned people tan or not at all and I feel kinda stupid for not realising they do 😂 it simply never crossed my mind until watching this video, I never even noticed her profile picture was of her at a point when she was tan
Girl it happens world wide. I still get surprised when people question a person's skin tone changes a bit. Back when I wore makeup, I needed a summer shade and winter shade.
My hubby is Korean, and I laugh at the difference summer hubby vs winter hubby looks… like I’m talking he turns from winter Snow White to burnt pizza color 😂😂😂 it blew my mind the first year I was with him
Everyone tans, it’s just that for certain shades it’s more noticeable than others, skin is skin and what protects from tanning is melanin, but it’s not evenly spread around the skin, the face is normally lighter for example, again more noticeable if you have a darker complexion in this case, lighter people also have lighter faces but on them it isn’t as noticeable when comparing with the neck or chest, we all tan, some people due to the lack of melanin on their skin don’t have protection against the uv rays and burn/turn red because of it. We all have melanin, some more than others.
This reminds me of all the crazy surrounding pinkydoll when she visited LA for some award show. She was darker on the red carpet and they accused her of bleaching /filtering her skin for her videos. It's like no one realizes us brown skin girls can go back and forth from a lighter shade to a darker shade and it not be for nefarious reasons!!
Legit haha. I’m Scottish, so I’m ginger with the whitest of white skin… but my mum’s side is Scottish and Spanish. In the winter I’m transparent, I’m so white. In the summer, the sun bleaches my hair so it’s even more ginger, but my skin tans really well 😂🤦🏼♀️ What’s stranger is the only ginger hair I have is on my head - everything else is almost black 😖 So I’m walking around with bright ginger hair, pale green eyes, dark eyebrows and lashes, with a very deep tan 😂😭 So many times I’ve heard people comment on my “fake tan that’s way too dark for her”. IT IS JUST MY SKIN. I’M AWARE IT ISN’T TYPICAL. MIND YA DAMN BUSINESS 😂🤦🏼♀️
Reminds me of a vid of a lady construction worker who lifts her pant legs to show how light her normal skin is, but being in the sun all day she had the darkest skin tone you can imagine. Just like farmer tans.
I know it's stupid. I hate it even more when black people ask this question 😅. I mean black skin is skin it's not a magical shield that protects you from rocks, Knives, Bullets and the sun.
I’m my normal complexion until November, then I lose my color. By February, I looked like undercooked chicken skin. I finally start getting my color back in June. Gotta love Michigan 😅
@@Shreya...1That’s why that ashy elbows and knees joke exists in the black community. The ashiness we experience is our skin changing colors, it sheds a little extra on our elbows and knees :)
People don’t realize that a tan isn’t just your skin getting darker, it’s your skin temporarily producing more melanin after exposure to the sun. Therefore, anyone of any tone can get a tan.. This is why an educated society is important.
or maybe she's just a basic African American who hates the fact she isn't black but infact mixed with the race their people just spent 20 years calling evil racist amoung other things
Omg!!! Seriously as a Latin person I also get darker then lighter then darker then lighter depending on the season & how long I choose to stay in or out of that weather..!!
Someone asked me this the other day... and I'm lole dude I live in northern Ontario and it's freaking January bud.... and the photo your referencing is from August lmfao....
I just think people may not connect the dots or think about it like that, but yeah I would think people would know that everyone tans in the summer months
It's only when it comes to dark skinned/brown/black people. People don't realise it happens because they're either racist, ignorant or it's simply easier to notice that a white/pale/light skinned person has gotten darker because of a tan than it is a black person
Went to school with a Korean/black girl. In the winter she got so light she looked mostly Korean and had FRECKLES. In the summer she was so dark people didn’t realize she was half Korean. Girl was like a damn shapeshifter 😂. Gorgeous either way, but it was fascinating to watch
I’m lightskin Mexican so in the winter I look very pale, people mistake me for Asian or European all the time but as soon as the summer hits I get very dark, and no one questions whether I’m Mexican or not haha. It’s just genetics, my father is very brown and my mother is very light so all their kids including myself take after both, just depends on time of the year.
"You can get sun burned?!" "You tan in the sun?!". "How, you're already brown?!". It's melanin. Doesn't matter how much or how little you have. Melanin does what melanin does. It's crazy to me when people seriously don't realize that not only do black people tan, but we can burn too. Smooth brains everywhere, smh.
Thank you! The babysitter didn’t realize my kids (mixed) could sunburn because they “look black” 🙄 wtf, I provided sunscreen cause they have skin…that will burn… cause it’s skin… 😡
And you’re beautiful 🤩 brown skin lady’s and men come into tanning bed as well.people are just ignorant that’s why old daddy doesn’t even got a picture to show himself ignorance self.
As a fellow Canadian, I can confirm this is absolutely 100 % a thing. My white ass goes from ghost to damn near bronze over the course of the summer and back again over the course of the winter. Not only do we cover-up with more clothing, but the strength of the sun changes significantly. This is also why Seasonal Afffective Disorder and Vitamin D deficiencies are things in the Temperate and Polar Zones.
@Carmen Mac Canada is NORTH of USA. It has to do with latitude and its effect on solar rays. You are also failing to recognize the vast range of black skin tones. Someone who has an ebony base will not darken as much while someone who has a mahogany or hazel skin tone has the potential to darken a lot further.
I’m biracial Scandinavian and brown. I am nearly white in the winter and darken in the summer. I’m not extremely brown but tan easily so when I was in Thailand for two weeks at 6 and came back my grandma didn’t recognize me when I knocked on the door and she looked out the window 😂 she thought I was a biracial black kid coming by as I also had gotten braids 😂😂
As a black women who lives in south Florida I’ve seen people move here and damn near change races bc the sun is so brutal. It will even bleach the outer and upper layers of your hair over time which is why a lot of people here have random blonde streaks and areas. I never knew my natural shade until I moved to Kentucky and after the first year I definitely noticed a difference in color and texture from reduced sun exposure
This was me, I went to Florida during the summer when I was younger and I came back home to Virginia. My dad saw me and gasped " You got really really dark"
@@cococcom3llow402 i don’t see it as disrespectful but can I honestly ask wtf is the point? This is the internet and ik it’s woman but it was autocorrected. I do not understand the newer generations need to correct every little thing. Mistakes happen and we are not in English 3. Like no disrespect but what do you get out of correcting peoples grammar online? What would make you think I didn’t know the word woman or how to use it if I used the word women?
it's also lighting and an edited pic. there's going to be difference between the raw video footage she posts and a gorgeous picture in studio lighting with editing done on it.
but what about the videos she posts in the summer when she is that dark. I'm the same complexion as Darcie in the winter and get darker than the picture if I spend a lot of time outside in the summer. we tan too
@@deedeedussard I might be wrong, but I don't think they were saying it as like this is what happened but more as a contributing factor? Because both statements are true.
@@deedeedussard you're totally correct. both factors feed into her being more tan in that pic. the picture was edited and it was summertime so darcie was naturally more tan than in the winter.
This just reminded me that even if you don’t think so, Black people get skin cancer too - Black people make up 36% of all melanoma cases. This could be for many reasons: 1) lack of available resources to doctors and Black folks on how to recognize health issues on dark skin 2) the myth that black people cant get skin cancer means Black people tend to not wear sunscreen or get their moles checked 3) the disproportionate distribution of Black people without health insurance in America means they don’t get checked out by a doctor until it’s too late. Anyway. If you’re a person of color - identify your moles and keep track of them and wear sunscreen!
The color is kinda relevant because people are accusing her of bleaching her skin. She's got gorgeous brown skin in any season but she's more chocolatey in summer like most brown skinned people.
Girl hahaha I went back to ireland after 2 weeks in Italy and the entire class screamed "why are you black??" Right after I stepped into the room 😂😂😂 like "this is my color, I just don't like the sun"
Or like me being Jamaican mixed I look like a completely different person. Even my patient noticed it already like it’s been one day of sun and I’m already a shade darker. I’m about to be her winter color in a month and can’t wait. Last year I bought two tanning session to move the process along faster to not confuse the world but had surgery and basically wasted my money. Like shit my melanin just goes on vacation in the winter cause the black in me don’t do cold 🥶
midwest white girl here. I see this happen all the time. Lack of sunlight causes skin color to change on literally everyone. People are stupid hun, you look great!
girl, I feel you. I’m what they call a “south carolinian,” it’s so hot down here, our shades throughout the season are very similar. you’re so pretty, don’t let the haters get to you! love you and your videos ❤❤
people forget that everyone tans in the sun, doesn't matter what your heritage is, every single person who spends time in the sun will get a darker skin tone if they don't use spf or sunblock.
@Katarina Giselle No, It's adults. I don't hear this from kids becuase they really aren't paying enough attention, but adults constantly comment on shade or two difference everytime.
No. I really hope you are a white person making this dumb comment. We tan in the summer and go back to our true color in Fall. It's just more apparent on us because white people don't think we tan...Geeezzz.
Yup u found one right here sometimes I can look as light as some East Asian and sometimes I look normal and sometimes I can look like really dark it’s all the seasonsss
Not any race, but most of them, like when a person is TOO white, the skin just gets red, they cant tan, if they try, it will hurt and they will leave looking like a shrimp
@@sol1vi lol, same! I went to the Bahamas on vacation and came back 5 shades darker. Once I got home I needed to buy new foundation, blush, and lipsticks because all of my normal makeup looked ashy on me.
@@nilnil7325 i assume it’d be the same for me except i’m not allowed to wear makeup besides lip gloss and tinted lip balms. i remember one time i was outside for an hour (with spf 50 sunscreen and i was in water) and i still got like 3 shades darker
Dont you hate when you change shades just because the lighting changes?!? Like on photos… I absolutely hate that 🤣 feel like my phone is wh1tewashing me
Oh babe ❤, also for non Canadians (or those in BC🙄), April in most of Canada is still nearly-winter. We don't plant a garden until LATE MAY because frost is still 100% possible.
I hate the feeling of sunscreen and lotion so I never used to wear lotion. But I started last summer with the native spf face lotion with the orange packaging and it literally feels like you aren’t wearing lotion. It’s amazing. My skin 3 mins after applying a nickel sized drop is silky smooth and pillowy. Seriously go buy it it’s amazing. The only downside is that while it’s absorbing it looks like you smeared a bunch of white paint on your face but in 5 mins it’s gone. I’m white so idk if it would leave white patches on dark skin but id say try it anyways
EDIT: Before you reply to my below comment, please read what I wrote and understand past tense before you reply triggered you're embarrassing yourself. Depends what part of the world you live. People in Africa and other indigenous people in sunny parts of the world before mass marketing, integration and destruction of the Ozone layer didn't know what sunscreen was or needed it. The sun affects SOME darker skin folks because we have all contributed to destroying the Ozone layer in the western world, and so the UV rays affects SOME black folks in the western world BUT, it depends how long you stay in the sun and at what time of the day and where in the world you're at. Indigenous Africans historically used coconut oil as natural protection from the sun they didn't use or know about sunscreen specifically It isn't an issue like it is in the western world but still the sun doesn't affect ALL black folks like that even in the western world. Weakening your melanin by starting families with different groups of people with less melanin doesn't help.
Oh my gosh! I'm not big into makeup myself but I always love your videos when they pop up. It's so cool to learn you're Canadian! I feel like there are so few larger creators that are Canadian like me and but it just makes me feel really proud. Like I don't have to be from the U.S to be sucessful haha, silly I know. Still it makes me happy to know. Keep doing you honey!❤❤❤
I love how your skin has a different shimmer/hue to it depending on the season. In winter it has something cooltoned silvery about it and in summer ita like awarm bronze hue. So beautiful.
@@russgardnon9284 I might have used the wrong word, as English is not my first language. I didn't mean the depth of the colour, but the warmth changed.. from cooler tone to warm tones skin.
@@belonging9200 No, no, you said it right, it’s just very logical to everyone honey. When you get a tan the hue changes and that’s why your seasonal colors (for color analysis) also change because your skin gets a warm overtone and will clash if you don’t adapt your hair color (in some cases) and clothing colors to it. At least you meant it as a positive thing and that’s quite cute 🥺
Some people think that it means you can't get sunburnt if you have a lot of melanin. While it may help, a person can still get sunburnt if they don't wear sunscreen.
@@pettylilthing I learned the hard way when I joined the military at 17...they gave us sunscreen....I was like "I'm black"...threw it away and suffered my first two weeks with burns, blisters and the peeling...to this day..I'm 54...erry day...rain or shine...inside or outside....fancy or cheap...I'm wearing sunscreen...painful lesson learned the hard way...in the winter it makes me look like a ghost lmao...but I still wear it...
Ireland here. As a fellow Northern Latitudes woman I can confirm we need several different shades of foundation and bronzer to account for the stark difference between our Winter and Summer weather.
A friend of mine moved to Ireland a few years ago. Someone asked her if her tan was fake or if it was from "a love of the sun." She describes her skin as the color of drywall. LOL
It’s not just Canadians or non-Melanated people it’s everyone we all get dark in the summer due to the sun and the heat and when it cools down our skin lightens up. I need y’all to get it together.
Exactly that’s what I said she made it seem like it’s just a Canadian thing that was so weird to me lol like girl this happens all over the world you aren’t unique 😂
@@BleuBirdie what she meant was that Canada has a very harsh winter and a drastic change between summer and winter, so in winter she would get almost no sun, whereas somewhere nearer to the equator would have a much milder winter and there would be less of a change
I am dark skinned and also tan in the summer and get darker. In the winter it’s a bit different. I had a guy accuse me of lightening a photo of mine when it was just me out in the sun 🤡 also had another guy ask me why one of my photos I looked red. I have red undertones and I just finished exercising. Many people think black people are just a solid color
People don’t understand, when I lived in Hawai’i my skin tone was gorgeous chocolate and after moving to the mainland where there’s seasons I get a few shades lighter…some people don’t realize we tan as well
Not something people think of often since our skintone is already dark for some of us, I assume thats why. I never really thought about it myself personally.
Just a PSA that people of all skin tones need to wear sun screen for skin cancer protection! UV-A radiation affects tanning, but UV-B affects _deeper_ skin changes to DNA and that is what you really need protection from. The number of SPF on sunscreen relates to UV-A, the number of plusses after the number relate to UV-B. So get a sunscreen with as many + signs after the number as possible ❤️
Yes a tan is actually bad for our skin, no matter the skin tone! I've seen girls use low SPF in the tanning beds, so they can "safely tan." Not a thing!!!
I thought the number of the spf relates to time :how many times more can the sunscreen protect someone, in relationship to the average time they get a sunburn depending on their skin type. For example, if I get a burn after 20 minutes, wearing spf 30,protects me for 600 minutes.
@@md55773 In theory, the skin protection factor works like that, but you also have to account for environmental factors that degrade the protection such as sweat, water and abrasion.
I try to tell my family this every year. And they laugh at me like girl I don’t need no sunscreen im not yt, I’m like you still need to protect your skin regardless if you don’t burn!!
i relate so hard as an east asian. our skin tones literally go from white as snow to a dark camel brown and when i say i look like a completely different person by the end of summer, i mean it lmao
Unless u only got one season in ur country😭. And its freaking scorching hot summer. Im just tan throughout the year and get tanner every year even tho i apply sunscreen
Not only can dark skinned people tan; dark haired/afro haired people's hair also changes shades depending on how much sun it's exposed to. My hair is very dark brown in winter, but during autumn-summer, I gain some ginger and light-brown streaks because of all the time I spend in the sun. The sun bleaches your hair, regardless of what hair type or color you have. Unlike some humans, El sol does not discriminate.
The hair thing is called photo-bleaching/sun-bleaching. Mine does it too regardless of what colour it is dyed or not. Ends up going ombré from dark brown roots to white blonde tips when I’ve got it natural.
This ain't just a black thing. It's a human thing. My dark brunette hair gets a tonne of blonde in it and my skin darkens to a bronzey colour. I basically go from a ghost with dark chocolate hair to a Cali bronze with heavily highlighted mocha hair.
All black people change colors from summer to winter; u just have to be in a place that experiences both high/low temperatures and be outside a few times for it to occur
How dare you be multiple levels of beautiful!!! People can never just say what the feel...that this chick is super pretty at any shade. Something not everyone can be
That's not what people think though. You're acting like peoples inability to understand something until they're educated on it equates to jealousy. You're a yt woman who is kissing the asses of black people in hopes they like you. News flash Karen! They won't 😂
I’ve been accused of bleaching a few times before as well and I can honestly say it’s made me feel insecure and self conscious about my skin color. To accuse someone of bleaching is extremely offensive.
My skin literally did what hers did. When I got out the navy my skin got like 5 shades lighter. I thought I was crazy.. I’m insecure over it too. It was hard to take pictures of myself because I’d barely recognize myself.
I feel you. I'm from Texas where we get about 14 days of winter and I never knew of this phenomenon 😂 I moved to Omaha for work and I literally thought I was sick. I was like WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY MELANIN? 😅 I HAVE JONDIS😮. It took me THREE winters to get used to it😂
@@quashawnmurphy1456 yes! Jondis. (the spelling wasn't the most important thing to me). It's documented. I did an Instagram post and everything. Ya girl was yellow. And I ain't never been a yellow bone.
@ebony alburdy I wasn't trying to be rude, love. Just to let you know. And we love all shades of chocolate over here! My baby had jondis too, shit. Now he looks like a little brown bear. 🤣 I'm ready for this melanin to start poppin up here in NC. Yasss.
Ha! I'm Arabic, I have neutral olive skin, and I live in America. During the summer, I get super dark and then very light in the winter. Luckily, I have only been accused of some things a few times. Not of lightening my skin, of course. The thing I hate hearing is in the summer, people tell me, "you look way more Arabic for some reason." 🤦🏽♀️
@Ayegot and it happens so quickly. Ten minutes near a window, and I am several shades darker. I honestly have given up on foundation. My skin tone changes too much throughout the year. Also, there is nothing for neutral olive skin. I've tried to mix foundations, and nothing comes out right.
I live in a cold ass town with like 1 1/2 months of summer and ive worked night shift for 5 years so I’m white passing 10 months of the year. Before I worked nightshift I worked outdoors 6 days a week from sunrise til way after sunset with a small break for dinner so I was very obviously biracial all year round.
