There is no particular number. However, some who have skin cancer--melanoma in particular-- remember one very extreme burn. If you have very fair skin, you should definitely always use sun screen and cover up. Even if you tend to tan without a burn, the sun damage can occur. Often the sun damage doesn't show up until you are in middle age. Then, it is a constant issue to have pre-cancerous spots removed. Face, ears, neck and arms/hands are the most exposed areas.
