Ouch sunburn!
 
Do you ever get sunburn? How do you often deal with it? Are you one of those people who gets tan over sunburn?

I got one yesterday at this renaissance festival. XD It feels worse on my arms than it does my face though. :c The ren fair was a blast, but the sunburn can go away. ;~;

Oh yes. Always seems to be the first time I am out in the sun for the year, I forget sunblock on some part of my body that's exposed. Either my ears or the tops of my feet.

That's usually how I am. That's why I didn't put on any sunscreen when I went. I'm not really used to putting it on the exposed areas either. I was at the ren festival ALL DAY LONG. So, that's how I ended up getting one. But yeah, like you said, I'm not usually out long enough to really get sunburn.

Yes, I burn and I burn bad! Summer is: burn, peel, back to being pasty white, repeat. I don't tan at all.

I really have to be super careful about wearing sunscreen.

Esper March 13th, 2016 2:30 PM

I get sunburned if I stand too close to a window. I try to stay inside most of the time.

Aloe vera is the only thing that can soothe a bad burn. And all my burns are bad. :(

That's probably a good thing, don't you think? You'll be the last one of us to get skin cancer o:

Whoa, that sounds serious. You've got super sensitive skin? I'm imagining polo shirts and tights on the beach now :strut:

I went to the beach and stayed under the sun like few hours. After the trip, my entire legs are burning.

Hikamaru March 13th, 2016 4:48 PM

I have very pale skin, so I'm very prone to sunburn. My worst area is sorta around my neck, and it kinda hurts when it gets burned.

King Elizabello March 13th, 2016 4:55 PM

I don't become easily sunburned and i cannot get tanned at all except (maybe) if i visit those tanning places but i won't in this life it isn't so important for me lol. I tried it out last summer by being to sun with my friend for 5 whole hours no sunburn no tan at all lol (i'm the sunman maybe but i think it's unhealthy too darn lol) while my friends got tanned too. The only thing that happened to me was that my skin become red other than that no tanning no sunburn and no pain at all (thankfully). Anyway, from now on i will not expose myself so much to the sun i'm no vampire lol but it's not so healthy if you want try it too if it's possible :).

I've had sunburn a few times, but I haven't gotten one in years mostly because I've only gotten them from swimming and now I swim with a shirt so that I don't get sunburned as easily. They were the worst things ever and sometimes I would be up all night crying because of how much they hurt.

Her March 13th, 2016 7:38 PM

'Do you ever get sunburn? How do you often deal with it?'

I'm a very white resident of a very tropical country. Guess.

Sylphiel March 13th, 2016 7:46 PM

It seems like I get sunburnt if I'm out in the sun for even a short amount of time. Not like, very short, but shorter than I would expect. I've gone to pool parties, stayed out there for a bit, come back feeling a bit sick later because a sunburn finally starts setting in.

Always aloe time, then.

I often had to be very sun-safe while swimming, to the point I had to wear an old t-shirt while I was in the water as a method of sun protection. I do live in a country known for having the highest skin cancer rates in the world, after all.

CJoE March 13th, 2016 10:07 PM

i'm a pretty cautious type of person that i never left my sunblock with me
so i rarely get a sunburn..

tonbo March 13th, 2016 10:38 PM

let's just put it like this: when i die, it will be skin cancer.

Same here. I always take as many measures as I can to not get sunburned when I'm swimming, taking 2 shirts to wear (one for swimming, one for afterward), some sunscreen especially on really hot days, and if possible I swim when the sun is down or later in the day when it is not nearly as hot. If I at least don't have two shirts and/or sunscreen depending on how hot it is, I'm not swimming because I really don't want to risk getting a sunburn.

Kikaito plush March 14th, 2016 5:15 AM

I sunburn easily so I don't really out on in the sun.

Electricbluewolf March 14th, 2016 11:44 AM

I tan on everywhere but my face. I can tell when it's been a high UV day as my face lights up like a tomato.
I still have last years tan on my legs/arms, needs topping up.

My brother never tans, burns like crisp, so he's always toothpaste white. My mums the same, but my dad tan so easily, so unfair

Crystal Berry March 16th, 2016 12:31 AM

I'm pale so when I get sunburn my skin turns red and eventually peels, so yeah I get it and it's pretty awful. I still risk it because I love the sun and know there's risks and benefits. Also, sunscreen. cx

NightKrow March 16th, 2016 11:07 AM

I don't tan. When I go out in the sun, I become a lobster.

This is why I don't go outside.

NinjaRaichu March 16th, 2016 1:47 PM

I'm pale, ginger and Scottish so yeah.

Somewhere_ March 16th, 2016 3:32 PM

I dont go outside long enough to ever get a sunburn, and if I do, I use sunblock because my skin is a little sensitive. Not nearly as much as it used to be, but I guess its always better to be safe than sorry.

PageEmp March 18th, 2016 7:56 AM

I got it recently but it was gone as soon as it happened.

Oh God, and you live in Cali! I couldn't deal. English summers are bad enough! I have an online friend from Cali I've known for a few years and I've promised to visit when I can afford it but outings are going to be a challenge. I'm gonna need SPF 1000.

After I burn I kind of tan afterwards but in patches. I hate it -_-

Aurora March 18th, 2016 10:43 PM

I have light olive skin, so I tan well and rarely burn. I inherited it from my mother's side, which is full of dark Sicilians. I still apply sunscreen, though! I'd prefer not to be a victim of the Australian sun.
