Sunburn is the redness and soreness that results in itching, and often leaves a blistering effect. This is caused by excessive exposure to the sun. People, having very light skin are at a greater risk for sunburn.
Being in the sun near snow, sand, water, and cement increases your chance of getting burned. You can also get sunburns on cloudy days, because 80 percent of the sunrays actually penetrate through the clouds. Higher altitudes and winds also maximize the risk of sunburn.
Ultraviolet rays that come out from the sun are damaging to the skin. A long time of sun exposure may cause premature aging, wrinkles, roughness, “age” or “liver” spots, and widened blood vessels. It is also potential to increase the risk for skin cancer.
