Have you ever scalded yourself with very hot water from the tap? Noticed how red the skin was? That's exactly what happens when you go into the sun without sunscreen - the sun burnsyour skin - and a burn is a burn. It is skin damage. You should always use sunscreen.

If you have less pigmentation and less protection for your DNA you are more likely to get skin cancer. This is why it is recommended that you should wear sunscreen.
