Sunburn (Page 1 of 2)

When I was a kid I tanned. Now that I spend all my time in-doors I burn. I'm very, very white. I wear 75spf and I have 100 but have yet to try it out. The sun makes me cranky and gives me a headache.

i have my mom's tanning genes. My dad burns SOOO easily tho.

i burn, but it turns into tan as well.

I don't burn that bad, but I hate enough to not ever ever want it again.

I got a redhead's skin, so I don't tan, I burn. Once I even burnt so bad, that my face looked like The Thing in Fantastic Four.

Ok, not as bad, but nearly, lol. I've always put on sun protection lotion in my little face since, lol, better.

Red heads burn EASY!

It isn't that great

Tans look good on some people as long as they're not too dark, dark tans look awful, but my usual standard of perfection (for myself) is a creamy pale. Oh, and I don't mean to say that people with naturally tan skin look awful in fact my husband is naturally somewhat tan, I mean that people who get themselves tanned to that point have bad skin eventually. I don't want to look down at my arms when I'm 50 and see that it looks more like leather than skin.

Its almost like you want to ask them if they need some butter to spread over themselves.

lol Karson. yeah it's almost that.

ugh, Miba. Yeah that's with tanning lotion. My eldest daughter tried one a few weeks ago. Just a small area on her arm as a test. And indeed it turned orange. She's glad she didn't spread THAT all over, and now wears bracelets to hide the orange stain for the time it'll stay.

That would be a nice alternate.

I ain't planning on dressing up any time soon
