How long in the sun before u can burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on your: skin type and the strength of the sun. If you are fair skinned,15 minutes of sun exposure without protection may start you sunburning. Wear sunblock with at least an SPF of 30 atall times, and replace every 2 hrs.. Good luck!
