Yuk, I'm peeling!
I don't know if you noticed in the photos, but on the first day at the beach I got sunburnt.
I know I should know better after all these years.
I should have remembered that you get worse sunburn on cloudy days.
The races were exciting...
and so by the time we went back to the unit I looked like a
TOMATO!
So now I'm itchy....
and my back and my legs are peeling
UGH!
By the way don't you love the finish line?
Cheers.
PS. Looked up peeling and found this.
Why do you peel after a sunburn?
Peeling after sunburn is your body’s way of getting rid of damaged cells. This is necessary because cells damaged by the sun are at risk of "losing control" and becoming cancer. Due to this danger, all damaged cells are instructed to commit suicide by repair mechanisms within these cells. This mass suicide of cells results in whole layers of damaged skin peeling off, to be replaced by other cells underneath those layers.
I told you it was yuk !
My Husband is Irish, so I know all about sun burn!I thought you would have got your ladies maid to rub you down with something :D

When you peel, you get nice smooth tanned skin underneath (.... eventually).

"commit suicide" - love it. Whoever wrote it has a wonderful sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, do we always forget on cloudy days. Cause I do the same thing. And I get a "Rudolph" nose very, very, very easily
Well I'm looking forward to the smooth, tanned skin that Foody has promised..... even if it is on my back !!!!
