do humans shed more skin when sunbathing?

Ahh, you have skinitis, be glad it's not boneitis.
Ahhh, I forgot to cure my crippling boneitis!
i just lost the game..
Your skin is constantly shedding. The dust you can find In a house is mostly dead skin. Applying sunscreen could make it stick instead of fall off. If it's dry it could also be dust and sand in the air.
Try scrubbing before going sunbathing to see if it still happens then.
It has not happened to me unless I was already burnt. My guess is maybe some skin was burnt from the previous day and is peeling off because of rubbing there?
It sounds like you just need to exfoliate when you bathe. You're wiping soap on your skin (presumably), but you need a coarser texture to remove the dead skin cells which build up.
That’s never happened to me unless I had maybe some dirt on my hands or on my body where I rubbed lotion on. Could that be what happened? Maybe some small dirt particles collected lotion and made little bits ?
Normal is a difficult thing to quantify.
That being said, if you've got enough loose dead skin to roll up into balls with a sunscreen, you aren't exfoliating well during your bathing.
You always have some dead skin that's going to come loose under friction and with the goop softening it up. But if you've got a bunch of it, you gotta scrub more.
You'd see the same thing with lotions.
No, I travel 1 hour on my bike in afternoon under full sun. It has only made my skin color changed from white to dark but only the part that was exposed to sun.
