soakss up the sun
It refers to swallowing or gulping, in this context I'm assuming it's an idiomatic use, something along the lines of "For any type of skin that swallows the sun", or - in my words "For any type of skin that soaks up the sun"

Ingrid, too late now but...
I don't think you made the right choice.
Both "sun-drenched" and "sun-soaked" would have been better than "sun-crammed". Sounds really odd. You can "soak up the sun" and "be drenched in "sun light", but you can't "cram it". Your points should have gone to one of the last two replies.
