Not so. Your skin is actually more than strong enough to prevent your blood from boiling. And without an atmosphere, radiative cooling is really slow. Exposure to vacuum (or just really low atmospheric pressure) kills you by anoxia after a couple of minutes; less than a minutes of exposure tends to do no lasting damage, unless you try to hold your breath and end up rupturing alveoli.
