Someone else to share my pain!
My father didnt share his genes for non-burning skin. He's got black hair, dark skin, tans easy. Dang him! My own sisters can tan and I can't. They used to tell me I was left on the doorstep by a family of lobsters, because I stayed red so much.
I use SPF45 and it lasts maybe 45 minutes. I've already had a blistered scalp this year - it left a few marks even 3 weeks later.

The sun is bad!

I guess in the end maybe its not too bad. I dont tan purposefully and try to protect my skin best I can. So in 10 years I'll look just 10 years older hopefully, as opposed to some who tan chronically and age their skin faster.
