I got sunburnt!
The boys had to run to town yesterday so I thought I would be nice and start mowing. I really do like to mow most of the time, but decided I do more than my share around her so it is now their job to do.
Anyway..it was really nice and sunny, but it didn't really feel uncomfortably hot or anything. I ended up mowing the whole yard (an acre) and then the boys did the trimming when they got home. I didn't notice it until yesterday afternoon, but then by last night I was really red on my face, arms (I wore a tank top) back of my neck and chest and above my knees. The burn is not sore, but when I took the doggies outside and I sat in the swing..that sun was starting to make it hurt. So...I guess that means I can't stay in the sun long today.

I saw on the news today that yogurt, mixed with ??? (look on CBS' website) is good for a sunburn.
They also said that tannic acid (a tea bath) really helps take the red down and stops any pain. I'm peeling (my face) the first time in years. I laid out for about 3 hours at the beach this week. That sun is strong this year. I also never lay out for that long until I build up a tan. You have to remember your sunscreen Missy!

It doesn't take long if you're not building up to it gradually!
I use sunscreen and try to stay out of the sun because of my allergy to it, and I still seem to have to mess up at least once every year and pay for it. lol

Well, I'm not sore now, but it itches some. I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow. I use to lay in the sun for hours and have even used Crisco oil, but that's been awhile. I'm trying to be nicer to my skin the last couple of years, but I'm just not use to using sunscreen and it never even crosses my mind. Hopefully it will the next time....yeah right!!!....LOL

Janet, I got some sunscreen you might like. It's made for little kids, so has a high screening factor... 40 I think? But it sprays on... so I close my eyes, suck my lips in and exhale through my nose while I spray my face and arms lol... Quite a show, but it works good and it doesn't feel heavy or icky on the skin. I know keep it near the door so I will remember to apply it before I go out.
