I avoid the sun.

My family looks very white but my siblings and I joke that we must have got some our great grandfather’s Native American DNA because we don’t burn at all compared to our dad or other people we know.

Strangely enough we don’t get very tan either, and if we do get tan it tends to flake off. I realize that does sound like a sunburn, but there’s no pain or redness, and it takes a while. Like we get slightly tan and then a week later we have dry skin that very slowly goes away and takes the tan with it lol

I turn orange

I only get one if I’m really dehydrated and/or my skin is dry.

I’m related to 7 different mayflower passengers, so I’m as white they get. I get sunburned hands driving home from work some days. If I’m outside for more than 20 minutes I put on sunscreen. A couple of years ago I managed to tan more than I’ve ever tanned before through lots of trips to the park with my kids and tons of biking, then that october on a work trip to Florida realized I was still far and away the whitest person in every place I walked into. For a long time I didn’t even know my skin was capable of tanning

So in short, probably about average?

I don’t think I’ve ever been sunburnt in my life lol, I just turn bronze when I step out in the sun

Well, I managed to get sunburnt visiting Ireland. Twice. On two separate trips.

I never do, unless I go outside.

Borderline vampire levels of sun avoidance. I can practically feel the skin damage just being in the sun.

I have freckles in places that have never been exposed to the sun in my life, just by existing for less than a week in Oklahoma visiting family

I am the whitest of white Anglo Saxon mutts, so very easily. In summer I wear a giant hat and sunglasses and loose light shawl everywhere or featherweight sweater. I went on a resort vacation a couple of years ago, and within an hour the one day I was burned even with sunblock. Never again.

I got a burn just from seeing the word “sun” in your post.

I am mixed, so not really at all unless I am put under some deathly ass sun. I just kinda turn brown. Orange -> brown. I will say though, I had the displeasure of skinning off a good portion of skin at one point in my life. The scar tissue does burn. Which I find out every spr-ummer. I am dating a professional lobster.

Easier the older I get. When I was a kid, I’d basically just tan. There were definitely times I overdid it at the beach or something and got burnt but mostly I just went pretty dark. And funnily enough, at that time my hair was also do blonde it was almost white. Now, older and with darker hair lol, I’m still pretty sun resistant but burn a lot easier than I used to too. Especially my face.

Fun fact: I’ve got a small birthmark on my chest that’s the same colour as the rest of my skin. And it can only be seen when I’m tanned because it stays the same colour while the rest of my skin gets darker. Haven’t actually seen it years, so I wonder if it’s even still there.

My skin takes it’s time to actually burn, but when it does it burns hardcore. I bitch and whine about it for the rest of the day. Which might be more of because I’m a pussy than of the burn itself.

I recently spent 6 weeks in Australia, with much of that time spent outside. I did wore a hat for the most time but didn’t really bother with sunscreen; I got a nice tan but that’s about it.
