I had a bad experience as a young lady, I forgot to put the lotion on, well didnt really forget, was desperate to get a decent tan. After a day in Disney I came back to the hotel feeling tingly and looking brown. I awoke during the night, skin RED and I felt COLD! – Sunstroke, nasty nasty stuff. People make sure you put your lotion on!

I know its sticky and horrible, you’ll grow to adore the stickyness

earlier this year shortly after my 14th birthday i went to the beach and came back with a sunburn, it was so painful and couldnt sit up or sleep. It was all red and came up with massive blisters, i went to the doctors and they said it was first degree burns but i searched it up on google and it said that first degree burns only produce redness and pain, but 2nd degree produce 2nd degree.

was the doctors wrong, do you think??

Even though it is a huge problem, some sun exposure can be very good for you! Just don’t over do it!

That’s actually one of the most common mistakes that others do… forget to reapply sunblock or sun protecting lotion every once in a while. People seem to get the impression that once it’s there, it’s always there for the day.

Yes it does protect from rays from the sun, but you need to re-apply it every couple of hours. And keep in mind that anything SPF 100 or more usually has the same effect as SPF 50 or so. You don’t always need such a high SPF, you just need to keep re-applying it.

I wonder if sunblock cream is really safe to skin? What’s your opinion on this?

I liked how you tied in the article to relate to the theme of your blog. Vitamin D is important for one’s body but we should all be careful when exposed to the sun for too long. The types of burns are unpleasant to say the least.

You make a very good point about dropping weight and wanting to show off. I’m dark, but the sun still effects us too, although not as severe. The worst I’ve had was peeling skin.

It may be hard to believe, but my grandmother is Caucasian, European from Austria. She used to drag me and my cousins to Atlantic City every summer weekend and she’d bake on the beach for 6-8 hours, so I’ve witnessed firsthand the damage it can cause. She’s 86 now and her skin seems to be more wrinkly than other people her age.

You are right on that one! Lucky for me I live in Florida, so I get sun on a regular basis. But I do wear hats to keep the face looking younger. Sunscreen is important, but is a real pain in the ass on the face, hence the wide brimmed hat… My ponytail keeps my neck safe also.

The hat is the best thing, though. It also helps the eyes a bit.

I suffered a 2nd degree sunburn once, and have never let that happen to me again. Not fun.
