sun burnt and glasses

One of the most annoying things about getting sunburnt is that you don’t necessarily know that you’re getting burnt until it’s too late.


Or do you?

Has anyone else ever noticed that if you look at your skin through some sunglasses you can tell if you’re already burnt because the skin looks much redder than if you look at your arms with the naked eye? Has anyone else ever noticed this or am I imagining it?


If it is real and it’s not just me, what could cause this? My guess would be that polarised light and the way the skin’s properties change once damaged.

i´ve noticed it too. My guiri skin can take so little sun it´s ridiculous. I´m still waiting for parasols to come back in style. So jealous of my husband that turns golden brown after 10 minutes in the sun while I turn into a lobster.
