Unfortunate Sunburn Fails That Put the Bummer in Summer

Ah, sun tans! They’re the easiest way to let everyone know that we had some fun in the sun this summer. It’s also a great way to get some vitamin D while you have a good old fashioned day at the beach.

But there are a lot of reasons why putting on SPF 30 (at least!) is a good idea. Aside from protecting the skin from UV rays that can cause premature aging and cancer, it’s the best way to avoid some serious sunburn fails that will put the bummer in summer.

Don’t Sun Stick and Sunbathe

Sun sticks are like a lipstick for your face. But while they’re super easy to apply on your neck, arms, and ears, they don’t really work that great when applying to the back and chest areas.

The Last Airbender

Not sure if this guy intended to make an arrow that looks just like the one in “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” but that’s exactly what he got on the top of his bald head when he got tanned. Fortunately, it makes a great selfie for social media.

They Have Matching Feet

This guy wore his socks on when he went to the beach. Aside from this being a major fashion faux pas, he ended up with his feet matching the super white shade of his dog’s paws.

His Skin Matches His Hair Color

This red head forgot to bring his SPF to the beach and ended up with pink skin all over his body. And now his skin matches the color of his hair. Hey, at least his tan is even unlike most of the folks on this list.
