Sunburn in the Summer

[Wallicker]

Zinc sunscreen will blot out the sun. Probably not much relevant help here as getting experience with sun would require logging off and stepping outside.

Is Baler a woman from Adobe?

Probably not!

He can improvise tho.

Wide brim hat, big loose hanky or scarf? Giant mullet? The possibilities are endless. Wonder if he has some ultima wizard robes he could turn into an IRL tunic.

When I went out to do yardwork I just did the big beach hat, and big glasses look, worked good, I also mowed at around 8-10am or 6pm my time.

Anyone have any products or remedies they swear by for sunburn?

Remedies: None. Don't need any, it goes away on its own.

Products? I do outdoor work in normal clothes: shirt with a full collar, full length trousers, and a wide brim hat. Decent hats are hard to find these days; I have to have mine sized and made to order at a local hat shop. You want the full brim to protect the ears and back of the neck. If you go that route buy fur felt; cotton or wool hats leak and don't last. Works for me, haven't had any undue sunburn-related problems in years.

I was babysitting yesterday and talking to this cute goth mom at the park about sunblock and she was like I don't really use that on him because he tans. She's every bit as pale as me and her kid isn't much darker. That made me sad, because I've heard sun burns as a child do worse damage than they do later on in life and I told her that, but I don't know enough about having melanin or UV damage to really judge her parenting.

Haha wavelengths, ABC. UVC is the stuff Tromp wanted to shine in our lungs. It's closer to a gamma ray than a radio wave. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Being outside in the sun sans sunscreen is good you just have to ease into it

As a pale person who has on many occasions walked rode or ran down various streets and places completely naked (proof on my youtube) I know my sun protection. I find creams work better then sprays, SPF means absolutely nothing, and if you already have a burn, there isn't much you can do. Aloe is the best option but its still not a good option compared to not having been burned in the first place (you already had your cells burst open from the radiation damage so you just have to basically heal it). If you grow your own aloe you fillet it like a fish. I like this guy's video:

except I don't like the concept of eating it.

Just make sure to slather yourself in sunblock whenever you will be in the sun and don't forget to do that.

Also, if you cover your whole body in sunblock when you go outside naked it gives you that slightly shiny appearance that bodybuilders try to get. That's another cool perk.
