| I don't usually burn easily, but I was out in the pool all day a while ago, and pretty much I was sunburned from the top of my chest to my mid back. x_x
Thankfully (or not) only the skin on my shoulders started to peel.

| My mom is surprised I don't get outside much more since I apparently tan very well...or, I did as a child. I'm pale now, but judging by the freckles I have, she was right about me being a sun child. Of course, I didn't notice how really pale I was until I saw myself in a recent photo. And I have to say, my friend Laura telling me how I make vampires look tan is pretty much on the money...
These days, I tend to burn unless I have good SPF 50 sunscreen on. I even remember one time at Six Flags where I somehow got a sunburn...and it was overcast!! That was just insane.

| I've got an olive complexion, so I tan really easily. I don't burn unless I'm in the sun for a long time while swimming. D:
Most painful one I had was a few years ago when we went to the beach, I was in the water all the time and got burnt pretty much everywhere. x.X

| I've never had a sunburn before.
O:
I just tan, but I've been inside forever, so I'm a little lighter than I used to be, but whatever and such.
I was hoping to tan a bit during this summer, as long as we got a new house, but that isn't happening.
I miss my old tan.
It was cool.

| My skin is really pale so I do burn easily.  I used to wish I had a tan but I'm okay with my skin color now. Tanning salons can be really hazardous to the skin. Once when I was little I was on the swings, when it was really hot and the seats of the swings are black. I got awful burns on my legs.

| I burn so badly it's not even funny. I'm part Irish you see, and I inherited the complexion. Four hours in the sun and I'll be peeling strips of dead skin the size of two quarters side-by-side for a whole week.

| Well. I do not burn easily, but I get sun-stroke and dehydrate at the drop of a hat, and so have a healthy fear of the midsummer sun. I simply don't venture out if it's not early morning or evening XD

Sunburn
So recently I brought my friends and I to wet n wild for my birthday party and I got my shoulders and part of my face burned... and it hurts to do everything! Get dressed... eat. ride a bike...sleep... everything.
I've had a worse one though when I was little. I got sunburned on my behind and it hurt to sit down... x.X
So do you burn easily? Or are you one of the lucky people who tan every second there in the sun rather than burn? And what was the worst one you've had? |
I don't burn too easily but my upper arms seem to be sensitive. Two years in a row, 2003 and 2004 I believe I was careless and forgot to use sunscreen; in 2003 it was swimming with my best friend and in 2004 it was going to the beach with my other friend and her aunt and uncle whom we were visiting out of town. I got sunburned pretty badly on the upper arms both times. They were red as tomatoes and the pain was very uncomfortable. There was no comfortable way to sleep, and moving my arms such as to put on a shirt made me somewhat look like a cripple.
I could not relieve it, in 2004 my friend's aunt and uncle had this green gel stuff that helped immensely but otherwise I just had to grin and bare it. I thought I had learned my lesson in 2003 after the first incident with the swimming it was just here at the pool at my apartments and my myself and my best friend had forgotten sunscreen and she got burned on her face. But being in a new town(it was new at the time, that was my first time there), and meeting new people in 2004 the next year had excited me and when we went to the beach I had had sunscreen packed which I think is only because my mom reminded me, but I had went off the the beach without using it and sure enough by the end of the day the devils arms had struck me again. The very same as the previous year. I could not believe my idiocy but I hadn't the green gel the previous year so the fact that her family had it for me helped me out a lot, and my friend too I think she had also been burned.
Now I am super careful and it has not happened again...yet.

| I'm the type that burns, but then it turns into a tan. Then again, my skin is in that weird place between pale and tan even during the winter and you can't tell anyways.

| I usually avoid the sun so sunburns aren't really a problem for me.
But I DID get sunburned this summer, on a cloudy day. It hurt to sleep. D;
