Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML

You were probably just outside for TOO long. Everything has to be in moderation.

Sucks, especially in a place where you actually get sun in the summer... Try a higher factor suncream?

Ouch. I hate sunburns. I bet at least one person is going to be stupid and write "its winter, not summer!". Its not winter everywhere around the world, people.

Actually, the brilliant thing is that so far all people have done is predict that people will say that. I must admit, I was expecting as much ignorance as those predicting it... Damn, LoganBballin ruined that statement... :P

I must admit to thinking it was an old event posted as current as I read it, then I saw that it was Australia ^^

Zp, yep, but I felt like I might as well just complain about being post jumped rather than delete the whole comment. :P Dudeitsdanny, I did exactly the same thing.

Did you use a high SPF sunblock and reapply frequently? Even waterproof sunblocks have to be reapplied often because it isn't a permanent fix. If you went in the water, it needs to be reapplied even more frequently. Water doesn't block the sun and does break down the sunblock.

I feel your pain. I'm the same way - pasty white and can't tan, burn in under 20 minutes without sunscreen. I burn and blister and then return to pastiness. I don't know if it's available there, but Hawaiian Tropic's Ozone range of sunscreens works pretty well for me. I still have to reapply it every couple hours, and even more frequently if I'm swimming, but at least it keeps me mostly unfried!

That sucks. :( Tan in small increments every day until you get a little colour. Until then, stay out of the sun for long periods of time. Oh and get some Aloe, it really helps. :) In another note, I wish it was summer here. Canadian winters SUCK! :/

I feel you OP. Except I tend to get a mix of sun poisoning and heat rash before I burn. I get heat rash on exposed skin too, I don't get it. Bah.
