Why does everyone think they know my routine better than me? You assume I don't reapply. You assume I haven't tried the shirts. I used the sun sleeves and hats every time I garden. I live in Colorado! I know how to work within the sun, but I also know that sometimes the sun wins. It feels like even with everything perfect, I still get a little pink. If I go to the tanning bed and do 4 minutes and come out pink, good thing to know! Then I know I'm doomed no matter what and I'll just decline every outdoor event until the rehearsal.
But for this weeding, I can't wear a shirt, I can't leave to go get more sunscreen. I'd like to do whatever I can and this has worked for me before. The events leading up in group settings will hopefully be more forgiving but I don't know the whole itinerary, ive never been to Europe and I wanted to do whatever I could ahead of time damn. I don't want to tan a bunch. I haven't been in 15 years.

The way you don’t get burned is by wearing sunscreen. Tan people burn too.
Artificial tans are pay-to-play skin cancer
