This isn't what dermatologists stay. You should be applying sunblock
15-20 minutes before exposure. Tanning in intense sun can take place in
much less than 15 minutes and no tanning is good. Where you get this
stuff, I have no idea.

I got it originally from a dermatologist on the Today SHow... but just
in case you don't know how to Google, put benefits of 15 minutes in the
sun into your search and see what happens..or read this to start:

Why you aren't more well read is beyond me....

To confuse the matter more, there have been some recent studies showing that sun block does prevent
sunburns, but might also increase the chances of skin cancers.
