"It’s impossible to avoid the Aussie sun entirely, but Australians are well
aware of the dangers of too much exposure. Some 40 years of Slip Slop Slap (and
more recently added, Seek and Slide) campaigns have reinforced this, not to
mention the unpleasant experience of a sunburn most of us have encountered at
some point.

Skin does repair itself, but how long does that take? If you hit the beach
for half an hour, then retreat to the shade for a while, then go back out, will
the damage have gone back to baseline? Or are you accumulating it?

Like most things, it’s complicated."
