What we realy need to be concerned about is all the standing around on
the ground without adequate protection.

Just right, Lorry
I have heard several Dermatologists say that the first 30 min of exposure
produces the most severe damage. After that, the outer, dead, layer of the
skin becomes more opaque to UV. A good argument for sunscreen before going
out in the sun.


A lot of sunscreens need applying 30 minutes or so before going in the
sun.
