Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Well, I have to say I agree with that sunburns are an internal issue. I have light skin and tend to burn easily when in strong summer 10-2 sun with no sunscreen. If I'm out for hours, I sometimes burn a little even with sunscreen. The last few weeks I've been using 6-10 Tbsp. of coconut oil a day, and have been eating a steamer full of kale and two large sweet potatoes in a day for the last week or so, which are rich in carotenes. Granted, I'd also been tanning in a tanning bed for a few weeks last month, but when I went out Friday I wouldn't say I was " tan " compared to the average person. I spent over an hour in the noon sun, in hot, strong sun, with no sunscreen of any sort whatsoever. Then, the rest of the day I spent hours with my face and arms constantly exposed to what was rather blistering sun that day, again, with no sunscreen at all (and my face tends to burn more easily than anything). I didn't get even a hint of sunburn, but I got a great tan! I went to the lake again today for 45 minutes or so with no sunscreen and also didn't burn.
