SunBurn
shyslyguy:
Happened to me too a few days back. I usually wear a baseball cap but having been inspired by some of the guys here who say they never or rarely wear hats out I decided to go without for a while - I went over to Calais for the day & really didn't notice that I was getting burnt until we got back & a friend mentioned that my head was quite red. That night I kept feeling my head & it felt really hot to the touch. Sure enough a couple of days later I had one really really badly peeling head .... t'wasn't a pretty site .... I looked like I had some particularly unsightly disease until it had all peeled.
Guess I learnt the hard way .....
x1 SBG - 1 hat = p0@^
x1 SBG - 1 hat + suncream = O:O

Thanks for this thread...believe it is a reminder from a higher power as I am going to spend the most time in the sun, since going SLY, today with the family at Six Flags Great America. Think I'll try to keep the hat off, but on reserve in the car while utilizing some HeadShade Sunscreen. I have others, but am thinking the small bottle is perfect for my travels of the day. Question to you is, will the SPF 15 be enough? :-\

Arnie, I use the SPF 15 for the face and head. I have a small bottle that I can carry in my pocket. I just try to be concious of whether my dome is getting a little red and reapply as needed.
I also have quite a few extra Royals baseball caps. Would be glad to send you one if you would like. Several colors to choose from. My favorite is "Royal Blue"!! J/K :*))
PBurke:
hey slyinkc. ya think ya could send me two of those ROYAL blue ball caps? so i can crap in one and cover it with the other. :*)) >:D
Paul:
Great thread slyinkc and a great reminder that even when you don't think so, the sun can cause skin damage. I do not have fair skin and darken very quickly but this does not mean to go out without protection. Even with a heavy tan you are at risk of burn and damage, maybe more so because it is not as readily visible.
