IN!


OUCH

7/5/2009 10:56:13 PM

nope

i use that coppertone continuous spray.

no rubbing and it lasts all day for me

7/5/2009 10:57:19 PM

Well I assumed that since I had a pretty nice tan going on already that I could spend the day out on the boat with SPF-6


Yeah, you know what happens when you assume

7/5/2009 10:59:40 PM

white people

7/5/2009 11:01:59 PM

black people

7/5/2009 11:02:25 PM

polacks in the heezy

7/5/2009 11:02:25 PM

i like you, dj. don't take this the wrong way.

that is one of the dumbest assumptions i've ever heard

7/5/2009 11:02:38 PM

red people

7/5/2009 11:02:50 PM

Yeah I know. I should have known better, and I typically do. So I deserve this agony.

This is the first sunburn I have had in years.


Does anyone else get headaches with sunburn?

7/5/2009 11:04:53 PM

with sunburn, nay. with sun poisoning maybe.

7/5/2009 11:06:09 PM

room temperature aloe feels like ice... i will never know how.

7/5/2009 11:07:17 PM

get you some solarcaine

[Edited on July 5, 2009 at 11:08 PM. Reason : the kind in the aerosol can]

7/5/2009 11:08:25 PM

i managed to tan 1/4th of my face...guess it was the ride home with the sunroof open

other than that i used sunscreen

7/5/2009 11:31:29 PM

Me and my wife are both present

7/6/2009 12:09:22 AM

Headaches and dizziness definitely with sun poisening. Hydrate and make sure you aloe a ton. Use the solarcane mentioned above. Works awesome and you don't have to touch the skin.

And yes, I'm present too.

7/6/2009 12:15:01 AM

i'm peeling

7/6/2009 12:18:55 AM

Put on some aloe with lanacane before bed last night. feels great today.

7/6/2009 8:46:41 AM

Next time you're burnt, take a papertowel or 3 and soak them in white vinegar, and gently rub the area you're sunburned. Let the vinegar kinda soak into your body. It will take the heat right out. It's an old home remedy that always worked when I was a kid. Of course you smell like vinegar for a day, but it's better than 3 or 4 days of agony.

And I totally got burnt Friday afternoon at the pool. Just my shoulders. Of course I was the one who insisted a few hours wouldn't hurt nobody, so I'm the only one to blame.

7/6/2009 8:56:51 AM

back when i had bacne real bad they wanted to try this antibiotic that went to your skin before they just put me on accutane. i didn't read the warnings that come with the medicine and warn you to stay out of the sun. i went rock fishing up in jamesville in march and didn't worry about sunscreen because i was in jeans and a t-shirt.

my neck got blistered and i couldn't turn my head for 2 days. it seriously blistered up in these watery bump things that would burst when you touched them. it sucked. my entire face, my ears, and my forearms were the same way

7/6/2009 8:59:05 AM

OMG EDIT THAT PLS

i'm gagging over here...that is disgusting

7/6/2009 9:00:04 AM

i was pitiful

i sat on the couch for 2 days straight. couldn't even lean back because the couch back would touch my neck.

and then, as it started to heal, came the itching.

7/6/2009 9:01:55 AM

SUN SON

7/6/2009 9:02:25 AM

7/6/2009 9:04:00 AM

I have never had a sunburn in my life.

I get darker and darker until I become aboriginal.

7/6/2009 9:42:31 AM

I have never had a tan in my life.

I get redder and redder until I peel and am white again.

7/6/2009 9:53:02 AM

i have only realized recently that there is sun screen above spf 50, and i can't imagine how much more it would be beneficial than spf 50.

diminishing returns have to exist, yes? 100 isn't 2x as good as 50, is it?

it has also recently come to my attention that you must wait 30 minutes before applying sun screen and that reapplication every 2 - 3 hours is necessary for it to remain effective.

basically the 25 years of my life up to now were worthless in regards to sun screen application.

7/6/2009 10:15:57 AM

^ we were actually talking about that on the boat yesterday. I don't think it gets much more beneficial above 30, and definitely not above 50

7/6/2009 10:30:23 AM

snopes link incoming...

7/6/2009 10:30:56 AM

so what's the general consensus about the spray-on versus the lotion? i much prefer the spray-on cuz that way your hands don't get all icky. is it just as effective?

7/6/2009 10:31:13 AM

I usually rub it on even with the spray stuff.

7/6/2009 10:35:41 AM

i hate having icky hands

maybe this is why i got burnt on friday

7/6/2009 10:36:52 AM

Haha, yeah if you don't actually rub in the spray stuff you probably end up with a bunch of pale spots and burned spots.

7/6/2009 10:37:31 AM

not really, the spray tends to cover all areas. i would think with the lotion you're more likely to have spots cuz you might miss a spot

7/6/2009 10:38:08 AM

Maybe I'm thinking of different spray?

What is this spray you use called my son?


The spray I've used still ends up pretty much like lotion once it hits the skin son, so I end up having to rub it in anyway.

7/6/2009 10:38:49 AM

it's up there in the picture sir grimx posted

it's just a spray-on instead of a lotion. sunblock spray son!

7/6/2009 10:39:26 AM

Clear ultramist son!

Damn son, maybe I will try that shyte.

7/6/2009 10:40:39 AM

i use coppertone sport continuous spray and it works wonderfully

7/6/2009 10:45:41 AM

Continuous spray son?!

Damn son, dat's like full auto son.

7/6/2009 10:46:16 AM

yeah son

aerosol son

you're supposed to spray it in your hand and then apply it to the face, but i just close my eyes and hold my breath son.

7/6/2009 10:46:58 AM

i use the lotion for my face

just on the fingertips though son

if 30 filters out 97% of the sun's rays, I would say that anything higher than 50 would pretty much be a waste.

and furthermore:

Isn't it key to look for "full spectrum" sunblock that takes care of the UVA and UVB rays?

I mean I just get darker and darker, but I still try to apply the stuff.

I do peel though, so I guess I have gotten a sunburn and just didn't feel the pain.

7/6/2009 11:09:08 AM

^ Yeah, that is definitely better IMO.

7/6/2009 11:10:37 AM

yeah, sun screen doesn't prevent people from tanning, does it?

7/6/2009 11:16:23 AM

face is peeling now


dammit

7/7/2009 10:59:35 AM

I can stay out all day without burning once I have a base tan, but my mom and my neighbor at Lake Gaston have both had Melanoma and that's some nasty stuff. It's one of the fastest spreading cancers and it can eat up your organs in no-time once it gets in your bloodstream. With a family history of it and several bad sunburns earlier in life I don't really mess around with sun exposure much now.

I hate the Coppertone continuous spray. After a couple coats that stuff will start to cake up. You can rub it off and it feels nasty.



Banana Boat pump spray goes on pretty good and doesn't leave any nasty residue like the Coppertone stuff. I like it.



This stuff is good. I have SPF100 and SPF55. It's about $11 for 3 ounces (versus $7.50 for 8 ounces of Coppertone) so I just use it on my face and ears. I think the ears are the most common spot for skin cancer to appear, so don't forget to cover them.



I use Coppertone Sport SPF50 on my arms and legs and I wear a rash guard to cover my chest, back, and shoulders all day. I still have a really good tan just from the little bit of exposure I get, but I'm not as dark as I have been in previous years.

^^^sunblock will definitely slow down the rate at which you get tanned. if you use that spf 50+ stuff, you would go all summer and only be marginally dark.

it's not like sunblock lets through the sun that only tans you and only blocks out the part that burns you or something

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 11:21 AM. Reason : .l]

[Edited on July 7, 2009 at 11:23 AM. Reason : ^yeah, the coppertone cont spray sucks if you're getting in the water. i just use it fishing.]

7/7/2009 11:21:19 AM

My face is the only issue right now. My shoulders and arms are turning a nice dark brown with no peeling.

that's usually how I roll

7/7/2009 11:23:13 AM

^^ i hear you.

but i still tan when i put on sun screen, and tan a lot.

the only difference is i don't get a burn.

7/7/2009 11:49:15 AM

SET 'EM UP
