YLL, OUCH!!! That looks soooo painful!!!

I have never gotten a tan and never will. Whenever I go out, all of my skin is covered except my hands and face. My hands and face never got burnt though.......no matter how long I was out in the sun. I think fair skin tends to burn more easily than tan/darker skin.

I wouldn't want to get a tan anyway...I don't want to get darker.

You know what I find really funny? People tend to wear shorts and sleeve-less clothes in the summer so they feel cooler. Wearing such clothes does not make you cooler. It exposes your skin to the hot sun, and not only makes you feel hotter, but also burns you. Wearing *lighter* clothes, but clothes that cover much of your skin actually keeps you cooler in the summer than shorter, more exposing clothing.
