The latter skin condition runs in my family (thankfully I have never really dealt with it except a couple of bouts when I was a child) and all those in my family that deal with it say the same thing. They go to the tropics and it's gone in a week. I spent a few years in a tropical country and never once got a sunburn. I paid no mind to sun and spent a ton of time outside. Moving back to the states, within 3 months I had gotten a bad sunburn. I don't know what is going on with this sunburn thing but I'm convinced it has more to do with just sun exposure. Maybe ozone, maybe an environmental factor that increases damage upon exposure, I don't know, but there's something there. As far as sun exposure now, I'll put sunscreen on when I'm going to spend more than an hour in direct sunlight at a time. I spend a lot of time outside and I don't really get burned anymore.
