In this episode, you’re going to learn what is actually going on in your skin when you get a sunburn, as well as why it often takes so long after you “burn” for the pain to start or your skin to become inflamed.  You’re also going to learn the real meaning of “SPF” in terms of protection (and if you’re like most people, you probably have the wrong idea about it.) Finally, you’re going to learn how sunscreen actually protects your body from these sorts of harmful rays. [TRANSCRIPT]
