A member asked:
Researched the main cause of the sunburn is damaging the skin cells, so as long as you tan and don't burn you're fine. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limit daily sun: Depending on your skin type , gentle exposure to outdoor sun with sunblock will produce darkening of the skin. If you are very pale and light colored hair you may not be able to tan. Most people don't realize that sun blocks still allow you to tan and the more time you spend outside the more tan you get. Problems occur when people try to quickly to tan by overexposing unprotected skin
