>>2223596I am half native Hawai'ian, so despite being white in appearance I do not burn! It takes longer to tan, which can be a frustrating!, but when my skin gets to a point where it is red I just wait two days and it turns into a moderate tan.
An emergency tip for sun protection is to rub dirt, or mud if you're able to, over your body to reduce exposure and possible retain water (?).
A good amount of sun time a day is healthy, keeps the superficial levels of fat at bay. Your body uses those layers to allow for tanning, so that is why tan and tone often go together. Just don't bronze or hurt yourself!
