A woman has lamented the perils of being ginger when she revealed she got burnt in just 30 minutes of sunshine.

The general rule of any fair-skinned individual is to apply lashings of sunscreen before making any dalliances with daylight during the summer months.

She also added the hashtags ginger problems and sunburn fail to the video.
Explaining her predicament she said: “I do autocross as a hobby, and we had an event today.
“It was 90 degrees, I was a good little ginger and I put on my sunscreen.
“In the 30 to 45 minutes it took to run my heat of the event I got a sunburn from where my helmet rubbed my sunscreen off my face.”
