How do we stop from getting sun burnt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay in Shade.: By all means avoid sunburn, since it increase your risk of skin cancer, some very serious, as melanoma. Always use very high spf skin lotions, and dont stay prolonged periods, and apply high spf frequently. To stop sunburn you have to avoid exposure. Even a cloudy day on the beach can cause skin damage, if exposed too long.
