Windburn is a common term for sunburn that has been accelerated by the effects of wind removing the UV-filtering thin layer of perspiration from the skin. Although colloquially named '"wind"burn, scientists discovered that the condition is, in fact, the result of sun exposure, and not simply the result of exposure to wind.
