So, this weekend my family went to the lake. Gorgeous, sunny, breezy weather all day. The perfect temp to sit outside in a bathing suit aaaaallllll day. That first weekend in the sun always feels so good and I always get burned, b/c I'm always saying, 'I've only been out here for half an hour," "I'll put on sunscreen in a little while."
I think I spent 5 straight hours on the pier in the sun. I read most of a novel. I am paying for it today. Face, arms, knees and the tops of my feet.
Oh wow. I put on sun screen when I go to water aerobics. I know I'll be in the sun for an hour so lather it on. Any time I think I'm going to be in the sun I lather up.
Ophelia, soak a washcloth or dishcloth in vinegar then lay it on the burnt areas. It soothes and I'd swear on actual money it also helps reduce the burn itself.
