if you are outside, wrenching, chessing, running, spelunking, pretty much anything ending in ing, and you Have short hair ( as you should unless you are an unwashed hippy. Damn hippies...) remember that a ball cap and sunglasses do NOT protect the back of your head. Unless you are a Yo. Then you should just grow your hair long so you are easier to spot, as you will be a hippy and smelly. Or turn your damn hat around.

Where was I? Oh yes. Wear sunscreen. I now have the usual burnt cheeks (hey eyes up here hippy) and the burnt chest v and neck because v neck tshirt. As a bonus, it has been determined I now have a burn line around the back of my head. It doesnt show in pictures or I would publish it.

TL:DR Damn hippies. Get a haircut. Yo, turn hat around and pull up pants. I think that is all.

Sadly, not at all. I've never had a sunburn. I tan dark and quick. Unfortunately that doesn't mean we're not immune. For most of my life I enjoyed my beautiful natural tans, always cracking jokes at the super white kids who had to use sunscreen at the slightest sign of daylight. Four years ago I had six spots removed and to this day have to keep an eye out for any more. Now I use sunscreen just to be proactive

lol. I'm neither unwashed nor a hippy and I have long hair. ;) that said if it's hot out it's usually up in a hat so my neck gets burnt anyways.

Always safer to err on the side of caution, my friend. Cancer is not fun.

sun screen doesn't help much. Skin has two shades. Pale and burnt.

Sigh. I've gotten sunburnt on rainy days, in cars. It's a given when I'm flying. So much fun wearing long sleeves in August.
