…and proud of it!
Redheads have a bad name in England and are often seen as spawns of the antichrist. But all that aside, the worst part about being a redhead [and I know, because I am one] is that when the sun comes out, I go inside. My country of birth and home for 40 years [Australia] was hot and tested my skin to the extreme. I spent months in hospital in my childhood days as a result of days spent too long in the sun and even as an adult could never escape the clutches of annual sunburn.
So it is great to read in ‘Skins Prone to Sunburn May Be Capable of a Normal Tan‘
…new research from the University of Bradford has found that redheads are just as capable of making the melanin needed for a tan as the olive skinned locals.
Reading through the whole article it would seem that it is still very early days, but I am hopeful for redheads in general that there may be a answer as to why we burn so easily, and more significantly, that from these findings, they may be able to find a cure that will help redheads to tan naturally too.
Do you have any advice for people who burn so easily Claudine?
