Does your mixed kid get much darker in the summer?
I've noticed my mixed kid gets a deep tan in the summer but looks much paler in the winter. Is this normal, and do other moms see the same thing with their kids? Would love to hear what others have noticed or any tips for skin care!

Yesss my boys both get much darker. I’m just always sure to put sunscreen on them when we go outside and lotion them up in the evening/morning, esp during winter.
My daughter has been outside so much this summer and has definitely gotten darker. We didnt go out much last summer since she was only 8 months.
I feel like surely all skin produces melanin in response to UV regardless of pre-existing melanin? Even type 6 skin needs suncream at high UV levels
