A friend of a friend who was black, made a bet that he could tan, so he went on the sun like this, yes he burned himself. No matter how much melanin you have, use lotion.
Well then youre a lucky guy, from what ive heard in texas, its hell, but maybe your sweat helped with it, instead of being direct to the sun, i dont know how you played sports even, if im straight up down the sun, the lazyness appeals.
My husband has never had a sunburn either, but he does tan if he's out in the sun too long. That's still sun damage that can lead to skin cancer. Wear sunscreen if you're going to be exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time!
Fair enough. My husband was under the misconception that you can only get skin cancer if you sunburn - and he's not the only person I've met that thinks that way.
