Can you get a sunburn through clear tape?

Probably not, but I certainly wouldn't recommend using tape. If you are under the sun for a prolonged period of time, the plastic and adhesive could melt into your body - making it painful and difficult to remove it afterward. Save yourself the trouble and a trip to the emergency room by not using this unusual method.





I am one of those people who are fair skinned enough to where I burn badly. Use a 35 or higher SPF sunblock, or use an after-sun cream. Burt's Bees makes lotion that relieves sunburn, and it's sold in Supermarkets, department stores, and online.Can you get a sunburn through clear tape?
No-direct contact with the sun is needed in order to get sunburnt.


you can do this experiment:take a clear sheet of paper and cover parts or lines of it with transparent tape.take the paper outdoors and leave it in the sun for a few hours.you can notice discoloration only in the uncovered parts-they will have turned yellowish,wherever tape has been it will be as white as new-this of course does not mean sun rays will not pass through the tape you still would technically run the risk of skin cancer-just without the flaky skin.

Yes. Tape does not provide UV ray protection.
