R&B songstress Mary J. Blige slathered on liberal amounts of sunscreen lotion before soaking up the sun by the pool at her Miami hotel this morning.


Dark skinned sistas should never go out into the sun without skin protection lotion with a SPF factor of at least 30. Sun damage can cause skin cancer, accelerate signs of aging and discolor your skin (dark patches), especially in women over 35.


Mary is either pregnant or packing on the pounds. She was seen struggling to get into a pair of daisy duke shorts. Her hubby/manager Kendu was not around to assist her.
