  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • I am mixed between Scottish and Pacific Islander. I will cycle between soft burns and soft darkenings/lightenings despite being light tan. Though it's my lightening red hair I must watch out for.

  • About once a year I'd say. Not usually to the point where the skin starts peeling off though. Not here in Germany anyway, I forgot to put on sunscreen once and incinerated my nose in Australia 😅
