How long can you be out in the sun before you start to burn? I'm at the 10-15 minute point and I can't wear normal sunscreen, I can only use the mineral kind with zinc oxide that makes you pasty white and it's really gooey and stinks.

It takes me awhile to burn, unless I am in a humid environment. Last time I was out in the sun for awhile, it took most of the day before I got a sunburn.
I'm not even in the sun long enough 
But I have a story that I'm not going to type five hours of words about 😛
The long story too short: Young who did not understand, in the back garden with a swimming pool, having fun getting wet for hours on a hot sunny day. Hours later found out that my back was red as a paperback book, spent all night sleeping face down and my back full of wet paper towel and did not sleep. The next day Doctors said I had to do this and that for the next three days and soon part of the skin just came away.
SInce then I never got into that again.

Except when I was young, only time did I get sunburn was in March a couple of years back when we had higher than normal temps. I was outside longer than I usually am so wasn't able to get accustomed to it gradually. As long as I take my time to adjust, I can be out in it & be fine.
