How long should you sunbathe at the beach to get a tan, not a burn?

[NoDecision]

You may not be sitting down much after your buns get toasted by a good sunburn. 🥵

Someone pour ice water on her back!

I smell bacon!

Wow! That idiot AI clown changed my question all around. I asked "How much skin do you expose when getting a sun tan?" Not only that, but I swear I turned off their help with the question wording. 🤡

[EzraIsShy76028]

It kinda varies too much. Tanning isn't really healthy. People who have dark skin naturally are lucky to have dark skin without even needing to tan. In this context the darker your skin naturally is the better, Black people and Indian people and other people with really dark skin are so lucky.

I'm convinced that White people who are racist yet at the same time want to get as dark as possible are just jealous of races/ethnicities with naturally dark skin. Can't tan safely without getting skin cancer? They get jealous.

[RFC1872]

Browns and blacks don't get skin cancer at as high a rate, but they have much lower IQ's on average. As such, they produce nothing in their native nations and thus rely heavily on white nations.
Example, you are probably a brown or a black typing from a white nation. On a computer invented by whites, utilizing an internet also developed by whites. You're welcome.
Life is about tradefoffs. Nature is about equanimity.

[EzraIsShy76028]

@RFC1872 "but they have much lower IQ's on average" Aaaaaand I'm gonna have to stop you right there. When I went to school there was zero correlation between race/ethnicity and intelligence. There were Black and brown geniuses and White dumbasses who couldn't put together 2 + 2 and vice versa and everything in between. In my last year of high school the student school presidents and shit were almost all Black.

With your statements and your account only having 1 follower and 11 followings it makes me think you made a new account recently to argue in bad faith about things. Perhaps to even evade a ban.

[DonaldDarko]

Sucks to get hit with that AI shit. Fucking robots commenting on our questions no way to block them. There's a small toggle icon that you click to keep these things from tampering with your questions. Why the hell it's defaulted on I don't know. Those girls in the pic should cover up they look like a bunch of degenerates.

[NoDecision]

They know the guys like it, like they like the attention they get.

[DonaldDarko]

Men will sleep with girls like that and make fun of them when they're not around. They'll just be seen as gross thots not to be taken seriously. Once the reputation is earned it sticks.

Until you're too dark for the Trump Cabinet !!!

I’m trying to even out my farmer’s tan last minute, lmao. I went to the beach the last couple days, decided on no sunblock at first, and just did like 90 minutes in the sun. Half hour walk down the beach, set up and lay out for 15-and-15, then a half hour walk back. I was just a little pink, and I think my torso burns more easily than my arms and legs from being more routinely exposed.

It didn’t really turn into a burn. Hot water in the shower was *a little* uncomfortable, but very tolerable. The next day, I was fine. My one burned spot is actually on my pelvic bone, because I folded my waistband of my swim trunks down so I’d have a less visible tan line if my shirt rides up. It’s just itchy and red, but nothing crazy. Any more time and I would’ve definitely burned though. I try to do an hour without sun-block, then I’m in SPF 1,000 mode, haha.

I’m actually fresh out of the shower and just looked; I already turned tan. Need another couple days out there to even out with my arms, but it’s slightly less ridiculous looking, lmao

[molonski2]

I reality there is no safe level , and everytime there is a burn you are closer to skin cancer , there will be plenty of incidental sun , sun bathing is incredibly dangerous and no time limit can be put up on it..

We know the facts now..
It not good doing as we used to , but back then we had no idea..

Australia has amougst the highest skin cancer rates in the world.

[Butterfly2050]

But you’re so pink that you should

[molonski2]

Haha.. No , I'm much better enformed these days , very happy with white , only people who sunbake her are Europeans in high season.

We had a guy at work , ex trade , Australia.. it took a melinoma 6 mths to kill him at age 45 .

We are very well educated these days on skin cancer and all it's dangers , I'm not cutting my life short for a tan , I get a plethora ( probably too much ) of incidental anyhow though all my sport.

It's seriously dangerous.

[Screenwriter]

Remember if you have fair skin you shouldn't tan. Tan damages your skin and prematurely ages it. Wear a hearty sunscreen, 50+, and stay under a beach umbrella. Reapply every 80 minutes and keep your skin beautiful.

Nothing wrong with the natural color of your skin. Dermatologist told me this when I was 22 years old. So I stopped then and have been a serious non sun bather since and I"m naturally tan.

Wear fake tan if you HAVE to have some kind of tan. It's just a trend that started in the 1920s and causes skin cancer to this day. Even dark skinned people should use 15+ sunscreen because darker skins take in more sun than lighter skin.

If you want to look your best avoid skin damage , which is what a tan is!

[Natasha1995]

Like the people in the picture? Not even 10 minutes. I hate it when it gets too hot.

You'll usually find me in the shade, or walking up and down the shore for a short stretch, or cooling off in the ocean.

Just being out in the sun will get you a tan. You don't have to lie down lizard style. And tou need to put on a lot of sunscreen, 50+

[HawkPerception]

No amount of tanning is actually good for you. I dunno why it caught on as a trend but any tan is a sign of cellular damage. People who lay out in the sun to get a "tan" are just giving themselves doses to get them closer to melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Tanning beds are extremely bad for you as well and are known as cancer causing agents by the WHO.

[jamesgoldman]

I'd recommend reading up on the WHO... like letting Ted Bundy run a girl scout troop

[Elliegirl]

Length of time really varies from person to person and depends a lot on your complexion and what sunscreen you’re using. I’m pretty fair skinned, so I don’t spend more than 30 minutes at a time per side or I’ll end up looking like a giant lobster

[Finchie40]

I barely tan , I can get some color but not a lot because I will turn red and burn , my skin doesn’t like the sun too much , even though I love being out in the sun. so I cover myself up as much as possible when I am on the beach or outside for a long period of time , sun block is my best friend I will not go to the beach without it or I will be kicking myself in the ass and regret that I went on the first place. I hate sunburn with a passion.

[WhitneySnow]

I wear a bikini so I guess everything but my breasts and my crotch and butt. What about you. Also, I usually lay out about half an hour at a time and it gives me a pretty good golden suntan.

[Pterodon]

Not one fucking second. A tan is actually a burn that both ages you and causes skin cancer. Don’t think for a moment that skin cancer is no big deal. It WILL kill you and spread to other body parts just like any other cancer. Only suicidal fools lay in the sun

[soe11]

• As long as you like.
• We do two or three hours.
• Depending upon sun heat temperature.
• We use sin shade umbrella.
• Some time had sex too on location of crowd free.
• We used sunbathing lotion.
• My girlfriend and her mum get topless too.

[OlderAndWiser]

The AI assistance with title must be disabled twice if you really want it gone.

[blshbnz]

I’m pale I got burnt bad the first time I went to the beach because I didn’t reapply sunscreen but it left a tan so

[NoDecision]

The thing is a bad sunburn you got 20 years ago can cause melanoma today.

[DryGermanGuy]

Depends on the skintype: Dark hair, olive skin can tan a lot longer than the pale Irish girl.

[Butterfly2050]

But Asians usually don’t tan even though they can get really dark

[DryGermanGuy]

True. But then you can substitute „tanning“ with „being out in the sun“. 🙂

[Suit_n_Ty]

To ask your original question,

It makes sense to let the sun kiss all the skin it can, especially the leg area. I'm A4 paper on the thighs.

To answer the AI question, I'll bet the trick is to build a tolerance to the sun, much like an animal builds a thick coat as the seasons turn cold. At first, 5-10 minutes. As your skin strengthens, far longer.

[NoDecision]

Your skin doesn't strengthen in the sun, it just loses its elasticity, so you get wrinkles that won't go away.

[bowenw]

This site has some guidelines and a calculator for your skin type:

[NoDecision]

Very informative! Thank you. 👍🏼

[Mark_Est]

Being fit is sexier than skin cancer, don't sunbathe.

[Alex-Snow]

Nice pics tx for sharing. But it depends on how much skin you want to tan, your skin type, the time of day and the latitude and altitude

[exitseven]

The right answer is none at all. The ultra violet rays of the sun will damage your skin.

[Tarifa]

You have to turn that feature off twice. Once when you start wrting the question, and once more when you're about to click Submit.

[Kelly6]

@nodecision Depends on our skin

[NoDecision]

True. Some people find out 20 years later when they get skin cancer or very saggy skin because the sun toasted all the elasticity out of it. 😫

[Kelly6]

@nodecision
Lack of education

[Kelly6]

@nodecision
As I'm near pale skin, my parents always clearly told me

[MrChinaski]

But if I post tanned bare buttocks people are gonna call me a perv...

[NoDecision]

Think so? 🤔

[AngryCarl3]

Don't stay in the sun for more than 30 minutes and definitely cover every inch of exposed skin with Factor 50.

[Likes2drive]

Just my legs, I burn too quick on my shoulders neck and chest if I lay out more than 20 minutes

[Paraskeví9]

Ten to fifteen minutes. Though during the cold months I use the tanning bed once every two weeks.

[MasterKS]

@Paraskeví9 you love tan?

[NoDecision]

Supposedly, tanning beds are not good for you either. In fact, they can fry you if you fall asleep under one.

[MasterKS]

@nodecision Grill!!

[NoDecision]

@MasterKS Bring the BBQ sauce.

[MasterKS]

@nodecision white one works for her? LOL

[Jeff51]

Everyone's skin is different. I burn easy after 1hr

[NoDecision]

Shall we bast you every 10 minutes?

[msc545]

There are too many variables to predict this accurately.

[NoDecision]

Indeed.

[Butterfly2050]

They look muddy and poop colored and then beg for bleached K poop 💩

[Dora86]

20 minutes also help get I started at tanning salon.

[NathanDavis]

I rather not try...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Nice butt! Goes with your nose!

[AgentG111]

Less than 5 minutes for me

[canamlusciouslad73]

Before you resemble Yours Truly !!!

[liltitslove]

I don't get any sunbathe at all

[Annie12509]

5-15mins

[EleganceNDanger]

10/15 minute then I put lotion.

[MasterKS]

I am black so no need to do that.

[Paige2006]

2 hours

[Iron_Man]

Way too long

[crazyengineer]

30 minutes
