So I spent all day in the sun yesterday with minimal sunscreen on, and all day today walking around Pompeii in the sun with no sunscreen at all on. I’m either barely sunburned, or not burned at all.
In Melbourne, underneath the northern edge of the hole in the ozone layer, I burn in a bit more than a minute. I’m not exaggerating, I’ve timed it. About 70-80 seconds after I’m in the sun my skin starts to get this tingling, prickling feeling. That’s my skin starting to burn. It’s pretty cool for the first time in my entire life to not be afraid of the sun (it will literally kill me), nor to have to plan all of my outside movements around where shade is located.
Yep, ozone. Big fan.
