I generally just tan since I am native american and have naturally tan skin to start with. heffalump on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-156100 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:17:10 +0000 heffalump 156100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A lot. I live in Florida so we spent a lot of time on the beach and outside in general. joyjoy on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155883 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:38:26 +0000 joyjoy 155883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have very weird skin that doesn't really burn or tan. I can tan if I try really, really hard, so I think I can burn if I really tried to. I always joke with my parents that my skin is a mix of theirs since my mom tans very easily and will never burn while my dad burns easily but wont tan.

My mom had skin cancer so that's motivation enough! sorrycharlie on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155844 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:21:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 155844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ two major ones that I remember - and both were my teen years. I was obviously SO much smarter than my mom so I knew I would NEVER burn! um..purple burn..never again. that says BURN btw, on my computer it looks like bum. hahah. mrsjyw on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155832 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:15:51 +0000 mrsjyw 155832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never got sunburned when I was a kid. I got one really bad during senior year hs spring break. lilteacherbee on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155726 Fri, 11 May 2012 11:12:32 +0000 lilteacherbee 155726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm fair-ish skinned, but I tan really easily. I usually get one sunburn at the beginning of the summer and then I just get tan after that. I grew up at the beach, but I don't remember any horrific sunburns.

Im fair skinned so it only takes a few minutes for me to get burned. mrs. bird on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155673 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:41:32 +0000 mrs. bird 155673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Too many=( the worst was on my back/shoulders, it was so bad it blistered. Hoping our LOs benefit from DH's much darker complextion & don't have to suffer from them like I did Alivoo01 on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155637 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:16:53 +0000 Alivoo01 155637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not too many, most were due to tennis matches in middle school. chopsuey on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155634 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:16:30 +0000 chopsuey 155634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think I've ever had a bad sunburn. I did go to the beach once and sat in the sun without a hat for a while. The skin on my scalp peeled and it was pretty nasty :P Rubies on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155619 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:10:39 +0000 Rubies 155619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ *GROSS ALERT* I had one terrible sunburn when I was in high school. It was during a weekend of dragonboat competition and I had my hair sectioned off into two braids, down the middle. My scalp (and shoulders/neck/back) burned so badly that it peeled for days and in large chunks...This is where my typophobia began. As the large pieces of scalp peeled off, the holes of each individual strand of hair/follicle showed and I kept screaming and crying every time a piece peeled. Since then I stay out of the sun.

I always forgot to re-apply my sunscreen and would end up with a burn. I'm much more diligent about it now, I found out my grandpa had skin cancer and I don't want that!

My parents never gave me SPF so that is not so good though. mediagirl on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155567 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:54:59 +0000 mediagirl 155567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Too many to count, as well! I would normally get one bad burn a summer and then tan over it. I peeled like a maniac for the month of June but after that, all was good. We spent our summers at the pool or beach so, we were always in the sun.

I also have the palest skin ever. If I don't reapply SPF 30 every half hour in the summer, I get lobster red. Needless to say, I've been seriously burnt multiple times over the years. I spend most of the summer at least a little burnt. It's just part of life for me. We've been praying that our son will end up with my husband's nice dark skin because it's really hard being as pale as I am where we live.

I was an outdoor kid/pool rat and was there from open to close so no matter how much my parents warned me about putting sunblock on I usually just ignored them! Luckily I don't burn too easily. mrbee on "How many sunburns did you get growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sunburns-did-you-get-growing-up#post-155534 Fri, 11 May 2012 09:43:17 +0000 mrbee 155534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I remember getting one really bad sunburn... mostly though, I just practiced the piano and violin inside.
