I don't burn easily, should I still wear sunscreen? ?

Question

I don't burn easily. I can be outside swimming for like four hours before I start to get red. Should I wear sunscreen anyway? I don't want to damage my skin. If I did wear it, just to be safe, would it take longer to tan?

Answer 1

Yes, always ALWAYS wear sunscreen, unless you enjoy cancer.

At least SPF 30 broad spectrum

Answer 2

You should defiantly wear sunscreen. Even if you don't see any burn, it won't mean you won't get skin cancer. You can get skin cancer without even getting burned. So make sure your wearing it at all times, when your outside for more than an hour. Otherwise, if you just want to get tanned, you can go to a tanning salon (keep in mind that even a tanning salon requires sunscreen, you can also get burned and/or get skin cancer from there too). So either way, you need sunscreen. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Yes.

It's not just cancer, it's uneven skin tone and wrinkles and stuff, too. Who wants that?

Answer 4

Yes you should. You can get skin cancer if you don't. And I know tan looks cool on peoples skin and all but unless it is natrual,it is unhealthy for your skin. You could fake tan,that isnt as bad.

Answer 5

Yes, you should always wear sunscreen.  Even if you don't see a burn, your skin can still be damaged by the sun's radiation, and over time your odds of getting skin cancer slowly rise.

Answer 6

yeah it protects your skin against sun damage and that doesnt just mean sunburn and no it doesnt take longer to tan

Answer 7

Same for me but I've started wearing sunscreen b/c of the sun damage and I still get tan when I wear it, just takes a little longer but much safer!

Answer 8

u should always wear sunscreen no matter what so u dont get skin cancer ["

Answer 9

Yes, even if you don't burn easily you are still exposed to those rays.  Sunscreen will protect against skin damage.

Answer 10

yeah.

no matter what because you can still get skin cancer and you don't want that.

:)

so yeah no matter what you should wear sunblock.
