Easier the older I get. When I was a kid, I’d basically just tan. There were definitely times I overdid it at the beach or something and got burnt but mostly I just went pretty dark. And funnily enough, at that time my hair was also do blonde it was almost white. Now, older and with darker hair lol, I’m still pretty sun resistant but burn a lot easier than I used to too. Especially my face.
Fun fact: I’ve got a small birthmark on my chest that’s the same colour as the rest of my skin. And it can only be seen when I’m tanned because it stays the same colour while the rest of my skin gets darker. Haven’t actually seen it years, so I wonder if it’s even still there.
I am mixed, so not really at all unless I am put under some deathly ass sun. I just kinda turn brown. Orange -> brown. I will say though, I had the displeasure of skinning off a good portion of skin at one point in my life. The scar tissue does burn. Which I find out every spr-ummer. I am dating a professional lobster.
I got a burn just from seeing the word “sun” in your post.
Well, I managed to get sunburnt visiting Ireland. Twice. On two separate trips.
I’ve burnt in 15 minutes here, probably 10-11 UV when it happened. Now I wear a sun jacket so I’m not slathering sunscreen on myself all the time, because that’s a sensory nightmare for me.
Crikey that’s even worse than me. Are you ginger?
Not even! I think it was a combination of high UV hitting me from the sun and it getting reflected from the pavement. That can be a real danger at the beach, too, even under an umbrella.
Just reading the title has got my skin feeling all prickly.
I am the whitest of white Anglo Saxon mutts, so very easily. In summer I wear a giant hat and sunglasses and loose light shawl everywhere or featherweight sweater. I went on a resort vacation a couple of years ago, and within an hour the one day I was burned even with sunblock. Never again.
I think we must be related cos you just described me
My aunt who is just as fair has had many skin cancers removed, and her dermatologist says she has the thinnest skin in the world. It’s not something to fool around with.
Our local weather reports in summer usually have a UV index and “burn time”. I half it.
So, single digit minutes in peak conditions.
Borderline vampire levels of sun avoidance. I can practically feel the skin damage just being in the sun.
I have freckles in places that have never been exposed to the sun in my life, just by existing for less than a week in Oklahoma visiting family
I never do, unless I go outside.
I have to be out in the sun without protection for like a whole 8 hours to get a sunburn. Otherwise I just tan hella dark.
I avoid the sun.
