Hello! I was just referred to this community by someone (not sure if they're a member or not), and I have to say, it's very nice to see other people as pale or paler than I am! I've always been self-conscious of how pale I am, but I've realized that I'm stuck with it, so I better learn to love it!
I was referred after asking a question--so I'd like to ask the same here. I recently went to the beach and a waterpark. I live in Texas, so it was probably 105F and the sun was as bright as it could be. I slathered on sunscreen--I did everything you were supposed to. I put it on 20 or 30 minutes before I was in the sun to let it absorb, I reapplied 4 times in 6 hours. I tried to be in the shade any chance I got. Not to mention, the sunscreen was 100 SPF.
...And I still got burned. So, what gives? Is anyone else like this? What do you do?! I can't keep getting burned every time I step outside.
And since everyone else has posted pics of themselves, ( here's a few of me. )
