I don’t think I’ve ever been sunburnt in my life lol, I just turn bronze when I step out in the sun
I’m basically a vampire. Sunlight I just have to avoid, or I need a lot of sunblock
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.
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.
What is “sun”? I only know “screen” and “LED bulb”…
I only get one if I’m really dehydrated and/or my skin is dry.
Just reading the title has got my skin feeling all prickly.
I avoid the sun.

I’m related to 7 different mayflower passengers, so I’m as white they get. I get sunburned hands driving home from work some days. If I’m outside for more than 20 minutes I put on sunscreen. A couple of years ago I managed to tan more than I’ve ever tanned before through lots of trips to the park with my kids and tons of biking, then that october on a work trip to Florida realized I was still far and away the whitest person in every place I walked into. For a long time I didn’t even know my skin was capable of tanning
So in short, probably about average?
My family looks very white but my siblings and I joke that we must have got some our great grandfather’s Native American DNA because we don’t burn at all compared to our dad or other people we know.
Strangely enough we don’t get very tan either, and if we do get tan it tends to flake off. I realize that does sound like a sunburn, but there’s no pain or redness, and it takes a while. Like we get slightly tan and then a week later we have dry skin that very slowly goes away and takes the tan with it lol
Somewhat easily, but I also tan very quickly. I still wear sunscreen daily (even in winter) because my grandfather died from skin cancer.
Well, I managed to get sunburnt visiting Ireland. Twice. On two separate trips.
Very
