We each got a light sunburn on the back of our necks Sunday. Mine still stings and is still pinkish.

I don't have the red hair, but I do have the green eyes, and judging by my complexion I can blame some group of Nordic ancestors that saw the sun for ten minutes once a year. (Their descendants really should have better thought through resettling in the Gulf Coast and Arizona.) I've experienced several ordeals where I applied "normal" sunscreen diligently and still had to shed my entire crisped top layer of skin a week later.<BR/><BR/>I can't get most of the products mentioned here- lousy mountain stores have the selection of a Soviet-era Moscow department store- but I'll second the recommendation for Bullfrog products; when I can actually lay my hands on it, it's the champ at managing to stick to my skin even when I'm marinating in 100% humidity without making me feel like I'm wearing clown makeup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-8559963083139763692008-04-22T12:08:00.000-05:002008-04-22T12:08:00.000-05:00'Dog,My nephew is exactly the same way and he's on...'Dog,<BR/><BR/>My nephew is exactly the same way and he's only 8.

That stuff totally kicks ass, and you CAN spray it directly on your face [the can tells you to spray it on your hands to apply to the face (which would defeat the purpose of the spray, i.e. not getting your hands mucky), but that's because the manufacturer is worried about morons spraying it into their eyes].<BR/><BR/>I'm very pale, but thanks to having married someone just as pale as I, our kids are truly ghost-like.

Their inclusion is the only reason I can call myself fair and not actively CLEAR) I'm a bit of a fair skinned lass myself.<BR/><BR/>Luckily I don't really burn - I bleach like a skull in the desert sun.<BR/><BR/>Three options that may help a tiny bit. There are several light weight long sleeve shirt options out there that have built in SPF. Not enough to make it on that alone, but they do help bump up the protection. Also, you can always give what my cousins (lily butts all) do. Buy yourself 1-3 minute increments at the local tanning parlor for the next few months. Somehow it seems to set a base line for their bodies and helps keep them from burning.<BR/><BR/>Lastly? Ever tried night fishing?
