Albinos have a lack of melanin, which offers little to no natural protection against UV radiation. As a result, they can typically only stay in the sun for a very short period, often around 10 to 15 minutes, before experiencing the risk of sunburn. It is crucial for individuals with albinism to use sunscreen with a high SPF, wear protective clothing, and seek shade to minimize sun exposure.

Why is sunscreen good for you?
Sunscreen in itself is not necessarily good for you- I mean, if you put it on and then stay inside all day, it won't do you any good. But if you're out in the sun a lot, sunscreen is a really good idea. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's UV rays which may be very harmful to your skin. The sun is very hot, and may give you a sunburn, heat rash, or even skin cancer if you are out too much without sunscreen. Sunscreen doesn't guarantee you WON'T get any of these, but it will help lesser the chances. Tip: ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!

How is SPF rated?
The SPF system was developed in 1962 by Franz Greiter to measure the capacity of a sunscreen to block UVB radiation. The rating of the system was determined based upon how long it took skin to redden or burn without sunscreen. An example is it takes approximately 20 minutes without sunscreen for your skin to turn red. With an SPF-15 cream, it would ideally take 15 times longer for the skin to turn red.
