The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I'm not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.
@[email protected] If you sit at a magnesium fire, it burns at 3300K, which is hot enough to produce sizeable ultraviolet rays. So you can get your sunburn from that, damaging the DNA in whatever of your remaining cells have not been melted away by heat.

My excuse is that the weather was predicted as "cloudy" when we left in the morning. When we were on the trip, though, the sun was burning down to extinct humanity instead.
You should be putting sunscreen on regardless, and reapplying every 3 hours.

WTF are those prices. I'd start looking into importing from abroad ...
Here in the Netherlands it’s expensive as well. Like a small bottle of name-brand sunscreen is €30.

In the US it's cheap but unregulated and full of shit that's terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that's better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen... meant for my face.

It’s the exact opposite actually.
US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.
As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.

Cost of living in the UK is up 25% since Brexit happened in 2021.

We're a population of morons who will still blame anything but ourselves for the position we're in.
The British are the Americans of Europe, so that makes sense.

Actually the UV creams have shown to be themselves carcinogenic
And vaccines cause autism \s
@Railcar8095 With respect to vaccines and autism, there is a correlation but as the old saying goes casuality is not causality until it is. In my view it warrants research. And I've got no doubt that the number of vaccines they are giving toddlers and children these days is overloading their immune systems. -
You choose new Zeeland over Australia due to the lack of venomous animals, but forgot to check for unprotected astronomical nuclear reactor in the sky
Melanoma is the New Zealand flavor of poison damage

I would mock you, but nothing I saw would make you look more foolish than your own words.
Please go back to Twitter.

Read again my previous comment, then turn of the phone/computer and go hiking. Just disconnect for a bit.

My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.
Not me. There is no "tan" for me. It's either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it's cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

I'm not sure I'd call US sunscreens way worse (they are still very effective at blocking UVB, just not UVA as effectively), but there are definitely better options abroad. There definitely aren't many options; that's part of why Hawaii banning two common sunscreen ingredients for marine toxicity reasons was such a big deal.
