Physiology & Medicine / How do sunburns work?
« on: 21/10/2017 03:03:39 »
So I know that the average light skinned person will burn in about 30 min at UV index 6 what I don't understand is how that timing works. If I stayed in the sun for 30 minutes at UV 6 would I get burnt the same as if I went in the sun for 15 minutes, went inside for 15 minutes then went back outside for 15 minutes? How does sun damage build up is basically what I'm asking, what sort of breaks do you have to take from being out in the sun to avoid skin damage?
