And you know what that means....taking a dip into the pool, heading to the beach. How many of you actually wear sunscreen EVERY time you go out? I know I was guilty of this skin sin. Skipping spf. And then one spring break, two years ago, I went to Disney World with two girlfriends and fell asleep outside in the sun. I spent the rest of my spring break in the hospital in Orlando.
I got sun poisoning, second degree burns on 40% of my body, was sick as a dog, could not move. It was excruciatingly painful.. It felt like my blood was boiling under my skin. I got suna blisters everywhere, my skin turned out permanently darker than it shouldve been. I looked like a monster. And the worst part was that the moles on my chest changed color and shape, and I thought I had skin cancer. Had to face that possibility for weeks until the doctors told me I got lucky.
Nowadays I wear a moisturizer with spf 30 every single day, and even more spf now that its so hot and sunny. However I have bumps and marks I have to live with for the rest of my life. Ladies, I really just want to stress the importance of wearing sunscreen. It will save your life! Pleeease don't skip it!
I love you all too much to hear that you guys got burned and sick for the sake of being tan!
