  • Sunburn

    I literally have had fewer tha ten sunburns in my life but my face has had mild burns the last two Saturdays with only moderate exposure. I didn't think so much of it when I was on the riverfront - most of the times I've burned have been near water. But today I can feel a slight burn and I didn't go out THAT much.

    Can you become more sensitive as you age?

      Yeah, you can. Pretty much any sensitivity can change for a variety of reasons. A more extreme example would be the time my RSD caused me to be unable to go out in sunlight because it was literally painful when it hit my skin. I had to wear a thick paste just to go outside.

        Ouch!

        Guess I'll be investing in sunscreen...

          Yeah, fortunately I'm not sensitive to sunlight in that manner anymore.

            My way of dealing with sunburn is to sit in the shade and look out at the sun. Work can wait until a cloudy day.
            Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

              Yes, your skin dries out and is less resilient.

                The worst sunburn I ever got was a warm spring day in Colorado on the ski slopes. Didn't realize how much sun the snow was reflecting. My face looked like a greasy cheese pizza.

                    You can burn on a cloudy day, too.

                    Fortunately, I'm not that sensitive yet.


                    I'm debating - does a sunburn that lasts only a few hours even count? If so, I'm one shy of 10 for my lifetime average...

                      I usually burn pretty bad at the beginning of the summer, then I have a "farmer's tan" the rest of the summer. (Which, in Texas, is not November - February)

                          No sunburn is a good burn. All are bad. Use sunscreen!

                            I would always use sunscreen. My Favorite is Neutrogena. If you have sensitive skin they make one for that, or use the baby kind. They both work. You're supposed to use roughly one shot glass full for your body and reapply every 3-4 hours if you aren't in the water.
