I've gone a great colour this year - combination of Aus, NZ and having a decent amount of sunshine here.

Oh great - the annual misplaced faith in sunscreen thread. What joy!
No! You are a total fucking div if you think sunburn has anything to do with skin cancer.
The uv frequencies that put you at risk of cancer are not the ones that burn you and are the least filtered by any screen short of a cape/roof.
Which is why the whole sunscreen thing is such a total fucking joke - the only way to minimise the risk of skin cancer is to stay out of the sun altogether or to stop using sunscreen - that way sunburn, your body's normal warning mechanism would kick-in long before any significant damage occurs.
Oh and has anyone mentioned that next to nobody applies their sunscreen in an effective manner or reapplies it often enough?
Or that many of the common screening agents are themselves a significant cancer/genetic damage risk?
Yeah, but everything you eat, drink, apply to your body, expose yourself to causes cancer anyway, so using a bit of sun lotion will probably kill you anyway, but at least it might slow down you getting burnt
or not?
You must not have noticed my tan at lunch or you wouldn't have wanted to know me.
To be fair after a childhood in the sun every day, I am usually very strict about putting on sunscreen. However, these days I only have time to do one of us so nagapie junior gets the sunscreen and I forget to grab my sun hat as I run out the door.
My skin looks like a piece of old leather anyway so there's no going back.

I'm impressed that that old thread has now been bumped twice. Double Zombie action!

Unless it's high tide and you're on some kind of peninsula, how is it possible to be 'stranded' on a beach?
Lo Siento.
Second As Farce
what beach has no shade? How are you stranded?

imo, most people who get sunburned, on some level want to.
You are soooo right. I like nothing better than looking like Rudolph for a week, and then peeling unattractively at the end of my nose and my chin. I positively seek it out in my desperate search to prove how uncool I really am

A beach that's only accessible by boat and the boat has gone, with the instruction to come back in 3 hours.
Was all fine until after an hour, hundreds and hundreds of jelly fish started appearing in the water, which meant we couldn't cool off
The taxi driver told us they were harmless though, by which time we'd stayed out of the water for two hours
PS: I was in my 30s and it was the first time I'd ever got burned.

and this beach had literally nothing that cast any kind of shadow? not a bar with some brollies? you'd brought nothing which could feasibly cover your body with?

No, trust me, I never think that. I don't tan - I get freckles, blisters, bright red skin, and maybe my hands go a slight tan shade, but that's it. Dunt happen

why don't you stay inside/under shade then? That's what humans are meant to do...

I didn't cover myself because I'd never ever got burned before. I'm not white, so it takes a lot for me to get burned.
I never realised I was being burned.
No, there were no bars with brollies.

oh aye anyone with fair skin should spend the entire day diving from one bit of shaded cover to the next...

I am very aware that I burn really easily and tend not to go out n the sun muc. When I do I cover up or try to stay in the shade. However I am in ridiculous pain today and look like a twat. I was at the Biggin Hill air show and despite wearing a shirt and staying under an umbrella for the majority of the day my arms aer highlighter pink and sore today. Literally a total of about 30 minutes in the sun ( standing up to watch the planes every now and then, walking for about 10 minutes to get something to eat) through a bloody shirt!
