Everyone tans. I’m tan-colored normally. I get darker in summer, of course, but I don’t sit outside and bake myself. I have burned, blistered and peeled on several occasions – and in the Northern Hemisphere at that. It happened whenever I was so focused on doing something that I didn’t think that perhaps I should get out of the sun for a while. It was terribly painful the last time, so now I get myself sun protection lotion every summer and try to stay out of the sun during the peak times of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Everyone should be carefu because anyone can get sun poisoning.
