Yes, you can experience sun damage without developing a tan. sunburn and other forms of skin damage, such as premature aging and increased risk of skin cancer, can occur even if your skin does not visibly darken. This is because UV radiation can harm skin cells regardless of pigmentation. It's important to use sunscreen and protective clothing to mitigate these risks, even if you don't tan.
