Sun bathe or hide inside?

Posted: 5/23/05 at 4:16pm

Yesterday was my sister's college graduation. Very nice, but very long. I got my first offical sun burn of the year sitting in a football stadium. So I ask you this question?


Do you tan or burn?


I get to thank my father for my Irish skin.

I don't do either very easily. I have stubbornly pale skin. I usually tan, but if I go to the beach down south where the sun is significantly stronger or something, I'll burn badly, but it fades to tan quickly.

As you can see in the photo, my face is almost as red as my shirt. Especially, my big Italian nose!

i tan easily and used to lie out in the sun during summer ... but that was back when i was young and stupid. PLEASE, everyone, AVOID prolonged sun exposure, and always use a good sunblock for outdoor activities!

oh, please. I have no sympathy for you, ConvinceMe2. that is not a sun burn. at least nothing like what happens to my skin after being unprotected in the sun for.... mmmm... maybe five minutes.

But I need your sympathy CATS!!!! That's from an entire day of surfing, so maybe I don't burn so much. But, I think I do.

Did anyone read/hear about a recent study done on sun and vitamin D? My mom told me about the article she read, so I may not have all the details straight. Apparently sun helps your body absorb vitamin D (or something like that), but sunscreen prevents you from doing that. A lack of vitamin D makes you more succeptible to cancer. So basically you can end up with cancer by not protecting your skin or by protecting it too much.

Isn't it frustrating for all of us "burn-ers"? When i was a senior in High School everyone kept asking if I wanted to go tanning with them before the prom. No one realized that it was pointless!! I burn, peal, then go back go being all pasty.

It has been said that you get all the Vitamin D you need for a week from 15 minutes of sun exposure to your face alone. Anymore than that is wasted Vitamin D

I live at the shore, but I burn within minutes so I need to use heavy duty lotion. I was the lifeguard with the nickname ghost.
