So, what about if your body is exposed to the sun but you DON'T get tanned....are you still at risk of all that happening?

Yes, I sound ditzy but just answer the question!


nod Some are more at risk than others. Fair skinned, light haired & light eyed people should make good use of sunblock, big hats and the shade.


Oh, see thanks!

Why take a chance? If you have to be out in the sun, use protection.

I don't stay out in the sun so that takes care of that. Plus I don't really get tan's so that's another reason for me to stay away from the sun. lol

It is recommended that you get 10-15 minutes of pure sun exposure a day. That's without any sunblock. The sun is good for you. Sunburns and extended periods in the sun are not.

Nay. If you tan or darken naturally then great. But if you have to smear some junk on your skin and broil yourself to get a tan, just forget it.

I'm black so I just get dark every summer naturally. That does result in tan lines but I don't do it on purpose.

Hmm...I've always read it's important to wear sunscreen at all times. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends sunblock with all sun exposure. Do the Canadian docs have different recommendations? It'd be good to know because I'm really lazy about putting on sunscreen. lol

"It is known that there is a high risk of developing skin cancer from repeated and intentional ultraviolet B exposure to boost vitamin D levels; the latter can be safely achieved by nutritional supplements," said Dr. DeLeo. "Skin cancer is an epidemic in this country and recommending increased UV exposure with claims that sunlight somehow promotes good health is highly irresponsible."
http://www.aad.org/media/...amind.html

Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers, including melanoma.You can have fun in the sun and decrease your risk of skin cancer. Here's how to Be Sun SmartSM:

Generously apply a water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 that provides broad-spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays to all exposed skin. Re-apply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Look for the AAD SEAL OF RECOGNITION on products that meet these criteria. Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, where possible. Seek shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If your shadow is shorter than you are, seek shade. Protect children from sun exposure by playing in the shade, using protective clothing and applying sunscreen.

Use extra caution near water, snow and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn. Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may include vitamin supplements. Don't seek the sun. Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you've been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it. Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything changing, growing or bleeding on your skin, see a dermatologist. Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early.

I'm gonna check that out - I do sometimes think the docs go overboard with the no sun rule...just so we follow it some of the time at least. But, realistically, I don't know anyone who is constantly putting on sunscreen. (I know I don't!)

I put on sunscreen every day before I go out. But I don't reapply as the day goes on since I'm locked in my office most days.

Coincidentally, this letter ran in this week's ¡Ask A Mexican! column:

Why do white people go to tanning salons to get our skin shade if they hate us so much? —Prieto but Perplexed

Dear Dark Pero: I usually answer questions about Mexicans, not gabachos, but I'll make an exception for you porque it leads to a great anecdote. All the gabachos to whom I asked your pregunta said tanning makes them look good. When I asked them how burning one's skin makes one more attractive, they replied because it makes them darker. See how circular the logic of most gabachos is? But smart people know the reason: Gabachos lie under cancer-causing rays as a last-ditch effort to become Mexican. I frequently receive letters from gabachos wondering how they can receive benefits à la illegal Mexicans, drive without a license or auto insurance, have as many babies as Mexican families, get government documents translated into their language, and live a carefree mañana life. When I tell them they have to undergo exploitation, harassment, and a couple of days walking through the Arizona desert, those gabachos usually shut up. Nevertheless, these people tan—if they can't live like a Mexican, might as well look like one and not suffer the consequences.

Want me to send you a video of the inspection lol?
I don't think I have any. I don't lie in the sun anymore to get a tan as it wouldn't make any sense. And even though my skin is very sensitive for whatever reason it's not sensitive when it comes to sun exposure. Everybody alway thinks I get a sunburn easily, but I don't. My bf who tans when he stays in the sun long enough gets sunburns and I don't.
Anyway I cannot imagine that you need any sun protection in NYC. When I was there in June it was raining all the time, but I would have never used any even if it would have been damn hot.

I probably don't need sunscreen as much as other people, but I still put it on rain or shine, summer or winter.

Variations in tone between tanned skin and concealed skin are sexy, but I've never understood the appeal of hard tan lines. They look so less natural, so "contrived. shrug

I prefer this effect...

That's not crazy, that's how people are supposed to wear sunscreen! You never know when you might get zapped by a stray ultraviolet ray. lurking

My understanding is that we need a little sun for Vitamin D production, but we get that just going to & from our cars, no need to deliberately sit in the sun. And I've never heard anyone say that we don't get the benefit of the sun if we wear sunscreen.
