A simple, moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels to such an extent that it takes four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition.
NO Sunscreen is waterproof.
I was out snowboarding yesterday ( No Surprise) and I did not realize the power of the sun. I let my blonde locks flow in the air and wore only sunglasses and I was a changed person this morning when I woke up. First of all, I look like rocky the raccoon because my entire face was exposed to the sun, except my eyes which were covered by my shades. I though it was a brilliant idea all day, as I did not expect the suns rays to make it through the cloudy sky and onto my fair winter skin. Secondly, I look quite similar to an apple because my face is a vibrant red colour. I have been living in Aloe Vera the past day, and I'm trying to figure out a solution to my white eye problem. I would like to say a nice "Hello" to the wrinkles I expect to see in my older years. Burning you skin is a very dangerous thing to do. It doesn't only make you look funny for a couple days, but it also raises you risk of skin cancer and skin developments such as brown spots and wrinkles. Even if your not burning, but becoming tanned, without the protection from sunscreen, your skin is being damaged. Protect yourself from the sun, so you don't end up looking like me! - TB
Thank you for addressing this issue. Countless people are unaware of the harm the sun can do to you. The danger is tremendous, and I constantly preach the disadvantages of natural and artificial tanning, but I consitantly receive negative feedback.
ReplyDeleteAs Taylor has said, sunburns are serious.
