Sunlight can brighten your mood and help you feel healthier. But getting too much of the ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight or from indoor tanning can harm your skin. It can cause problems right away as well as problems that may develop years later.</p> <p fingerprint="ac7c0572" fingerprint-exact="a468c537">A sunburn is skin damage from the sun's ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B (UVA and UVB) rays.

People with white or freckled skin, blond or red hair, and blue eyes usually sunburn easily.</p> <p fingerprint="bfa919bd" fingerprint-exact="bb6d2da2">People with darker skin don't sunburn as easily. But they can still get skin cancer. So it's important to use sun protection, no matter what your skin color is.</p> <p fingerprint="6de8bfa7" fingerprint-exact="099dc5bd">Your age also affects how your skin reacts to the sun. Children's skin is more sensitive to sunlight.</p> <p fingerprint="5e9a3c1b" fingerprint-exact="4c15542e">You may get a more severe sunburn depending on:</p> <ul fingerprint="42fc64ec" fingerprint-exact="0ef42268"> <li>The time of day. You are more likely to get a sunburn between 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, when the sun's rays are the strongest. You might think the chance of getting a sunburn on cloudy days is less, but the sun's damaging UV light can pass through clouds.</li> <li>Whether you are near reflective surfaces, such as water, white sand, concrete, snow, or ice. All of these reflect the sun's rays and can increase your risk of getting a sunburn.</li> <li>The season of the year. The position of the sun on summer days can cause a more severe sunburn.</li> <li>Altitude. It's easy to get sunburned at higher altitudes. That's because there's less of the earth's atmosphere to block the sunlight. UV exposure increases in elevation. </li> <li>How close you are to the equator (latitude). The closer you are to the equator, the more direct sunlight passes through the atmosphere. For example, the southern United States gets more sunlight than the northern United States. </li> <li>The <a class="HwLinkDefinition" data-hw-type="Definition" data-hw-document-href="stu3205"

treatment are usually all that's needed to prevent or treat a sunburn.</p> <ul fingerprint="dd66f48d" fingerprint-exact="e3a9c63a"> <li>Protect your skin from the sun.</li> <li>Don't stay in the sun too long.</li> <li>Use sunscreen, and wear clothing that covers your skin.</li> </ul> <p fingerprint="27471b1e" fingerprint-exact="6b539020">If you have any health risks such as having diabetes or
