This question probably more for white people, but do ya easily get sun burned? (Page 2)

[DryGermanGuy]

Practically never (type: dark hair/dark eyes). I use a bit of sun cream on the face to be on the safe side, as people with lots of sun exposure don't age too well.

[jamesgoldman]

Nah I tan to a good olive hue, one of the better genetics I got

My dad a few years back got so tanned working the land that he was a superyacht and a gold watch away from being a Mediterranean tax exile

[LeeannaDD]

Kinda but not really. At the beginning of summer I burn, once. Then I get tan and stay that way till winter

[Anonymous]

No not really. My black neighbor had melanoma last year.

[Msputiton]

Well, we can get darker from the sun, and in some cases can also burn. We ain't immune to the sun.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah but I don't have melanoma

[Msputiton]

Congratulations,

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks. That's mighty white of you to say.

[Msputiton]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[Likes2drive]

I easily burn and hardly tan, even with sunscreen I still can burn but not as bad, I even have to go to the dermatologist every year to freeze off suspicious spots on my skin because it could be precancerous

[lottiebannotie]

Yes I do and it gets worse I don't even tan afterwards I just peel and go from red back to white 😅

[Msputiton]

So your like i got all this pain with no results

[lottiebannotie]

Exactly that 🤣

[MrCommodore]

I'm amongst the lucky Irish who tan easily and don't usually burn.

[PointTaken]

Yeah. I usually burn before I tan. Especially now since I rarely see the sun.

[PointTaken]

Sunblock or not. I get sunburned no matter what.

[Msputiton]

Oh wow. So what's the point of sunblock🤔

[PointTaken]

I gave up on it. Yet when I go outside I stay outside for hours. Yard work or hike.

[PointTaken]

Must be nice to be Italian. Lol. I might have Irish in me but actually very unsure. All I know is I'm white, I burn in the sun and probably at a church.

[Potteplante]

Yes I do - wear sun lotion year round despite of living in Denmark.

[magiusX26]

i dont burrn easily but am a human mutt with a good portion of native American (pretty much all tribes in the western hemisphere combined) and was birn with a slight bit of a tan.

[magiusX26]

aha. since ypu mentioned it in your update, i have both italuan and irish ancestory too. add in german, french, dutch, and most of eastetn Europe.

[RavVid]

A fair skinned friend of Scots descent would start burning if he was in direct sunlight. Being of black Scots descent I don't if I am just doing normal things. if I am going to be in direct sunlight for an hour I'll put put sun-cream on.

[RavVid]

Sweat can take sun block off or pool water or sea water. You just re-apply. If you are working in the sun a shirt and hat is all you need.

[LiamJHayden]

The first few times I go out I have to make sure to use 50 SPF and then gradually go to lower levels. After that I am fine for the rest of the summer.

[Batsy01010101]

only irish do then scottish then English people do since they're skin is pale white. those who have olive skin don't get tan as easily takes a while since they already have a tan

[douride2]

Light skin blonde hair & blue eyes. Yes I burn easily if I spend to much time in the sun.

[TacosRAwesome]

I'll burn if I spend like a whole day in the sun but if it's like an hour or so I get brown.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm very light skinned, and I never burn, I just tan.

[Charliefretz329]

If I maintain my baseline tan, I don’t burn except on my forehead. But that’s probably my native genes

[AviatorTom]

Yep, it's SPF 30 or 50 for me, baseball cap fir my head, and I tend to stay in the shade whenever I can.

[Stevefiveo]

Yes, I am 100% Irish so as soon as the sun touches me, I burst in to flames. ;)

[gorydetails]

Yes. I usually put on sunscreen if I'm laying out.

[gorydetails]

Yes to your update…unless you keep applying it.. it wears off after time and in water.

[najekim]

Yup. I burn, I turn red, I peel, I'm white again. Hard for me to keep a tan.
