Live in the world: Do not become a recluse. Do not live like a vampire. Do not live in constant fear. Sunburns are painful and damage your skin. You can use simple strategies that enable you to be out in sun without burning. You will notice more melanin in your skin after sun exposure. This allows you to tolerate more exposure. Enjoy it.
