Consider yourself fortunate. Some folks tan, some folks burn. I'm firmly in the burn camp. If I'm going to be outside (a lot), I use SPF 50...always. You won't get skin cancer tomorrow from sun exposure yesterday. Skin cancers are typically an accumulation of damage over time. But, it literally takes less than a minute to apply sunscreen, and avoiding sunburn (for me) is always a good thing.
It's also good to remember that just because a person may have dark skin, and tan easily, does not mean they cannot develop skin cancer. Bob Marley died of melanoma.
