Sun Damage To My Skin



Hello Darlings,

It all started in one lovely Tuesday morning at around 11am. My sister invited me over her new house to relax and swim for a bit, sounds like fun huh?! Well it wasn’t until I got a really bad sunburn that I realized that this was going to be my worse “relaxing day” ever!!! 
At 11am my sister tells me she has to do a couple of things in her house and that we would not be able to get out to the pool until 12noon, so being that I wanted to get some sun and not linger around indoors I told her I would just go ahead and chill by the pool by myself until she gets out there. BAD! BAD IDEA! I got her pool float bed and laid in the pool for about 45 minutes. Of course I did NOT put sunscreen on because I thought “Hey! It’s not even that hot out here and my sister will be out in a few minutes so I will get out of the pool and put some sunscreen on when I lay out on the chair with her to actually get a little tan.”
I’m not even exagerating when I tell you this... I was only out there a few minutes! I got the worse sunburn of my life! The very same day I did not feel much pain, but the 2 to 4 days after was intense! I could barely sleep, bend down, move around, and most of all I was unable to do my favorite activity... Run and hike!
Watch my YouTube video for the rest of the story... And remember wear your sunscreen all over any exposed skin anytime you step outdoors when the sun is out!
Stay beautiful and take care of your gorgeous skin :)
