As ever, I really enjoyed this. I'm one of those people who never burn, and this is due to me having the genetic condition, neurofibromatosis (type one) I don't understand why this is, but it is commonly the case with people who have it. We often are also vitamin D deficient too, from what I understand of it our skin cant absorb certain parts of the sunlight properly; resulting in the deficiency and the lack of sun burn. Neurofibromatosis type one is a mutation of chromosome 17. It can cause a host of problems, i'm long term disabled due to it; but the ability to tan well is a silver lining. Tho we do still have to be careful in the sun as the cancer risk is still there and slightly raised. So only a thin lining on that cloud. Anywhoo, great video :)

if you really want your sunburn to go away, add coconut oil on the parts that are burned. not only does it make your sunburn go away quicker, in relieves the pain also.

[@SoulSociety2021]

You shouldn't apply coconut oil to sunburn because it can trap heat on your skin and prolong painful inflammation. Coconut oil isn't an ideal moisturizer because it is too thick to penetrate the skin properly.

[@SpartanTaylor]

I whacked it down my left arm yesterday after being put for an hour and coming back in slightly red. Today, it’s fully brown and the skin on that arm both looks and feels a ton healthier and better moisturised than that on my right arm. Maybe all it did was moisturise the skin (mine is usually a little dry) but either way, I can’t complain.

Each year, even in areas that don't see the sun, I would see a new brown spot. Is it due to sun damage on the skin that these freckle-like spots are appearing? Or could it be something else?

So sites that, after a sun burn, became freckled is that a result of the melanin being altered and left higher than the counter parts?

[@Roll587]

I don't remember exactly, but I think freckles are caused by unequal distribution of melanin. Sun exposure activates it in the same way a tan does. I think because people who freckle tend to me very fair, they are still at a high risk of skin cancer regardless of the freckles.
