First sun burn?!


Question: First sun burn!?
Hello,

I just had my first sun burn!. I am 19 and a brown asian!. I have been out in the sun for longer time but never had a sun burn before in my home country(India)!. So i thought i wouldnt get one and used body lotion sparingly, I come back home and saw myself in the mirror I was all dark red (red + brown) , even my eyes!. Is it because i am in a different country so a different angle of sun rays !?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Even though your skin tone is darker it just means it takes longer for you to burn!. You still have "skin" and therefore, skin can burn when left unprotected!. Yes, there is a difference in sun!. I have found that the sun in places like Florida differs from sun in Hawaii and Texas and even Germany!. Wear sunblock and limit sun exposure whenever possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Having sunburns can increase your risk of having skin cancer!. Next time you go outside, don't stay outside for too long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
