#Sun Protection

[marzipanandminutiae]

kind of hate that western society jumped from "dark skin is coarse and common and also ugly, whether natural or acquired from sun exposure" to "no actually tanning is The Beauty Standard (if you have naturally light skin) (still going to be racist about it) and anything bad that the entire medical establishment has to say about it is either fake or will Definitely Never Happen To You, Personally. also pale skin makes you look sick :/"

I feel as if we should have tried harder to find a more nuanced stance there, guys

I am so happy I am off today. It's gonna be HOT in the valley! So, extra sunscreen for pool time! Be safe whatever you're doing today!🖤💦

With the intense heat going on at the moment, we thought it would be good to post a little heat protection check list!

We know these concerts are very intense and we all want to be close and have a good spot, but it’s really important to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun in this weather 🏳️‍🌈🧡🫶

I work with kids so they require me outside for their break time because they want them playing outside. It is giving me a tan which im rlly insecure abt bcs i am pale so i just look orange when i tan and i think it makes me look like trump :( Would spf 100 sunscreen help?

I wish I had more Lupus friends bc since I’ve been taking sun protection measures I haven’t had a tummy ache or car sickness. I was literally taking three Tagamet 2-3 times a day for months and I’ve had motion sickness every car ride for my entire life and now it’s just gone?

It’s only been a few days but if any Lupus buddies could tell me if cutting out UV exposure can have immediate affects like that I would be really grateful 🥲

I’ve also recently started Plaquinel but this wasn’t a gradual improvement. It completely went away as soon as I started doing the whole sunscreen/UPF clothing routine. But idk if it’s just a coincidence, placebo effect or if the sun really was making me that sick all the time.

Sunscreen Recommendations

Sunscreen – As Recommended By Neurodivergent Folks It is very common for folk with sensory processing issues to struggle with sunscreen. The smell and feel of it can be overwhelming and really horrible. A lot of us also struggle with the heat and brightness of summer so adding extra sensory challenges can make summer a total nightmare. I have a dog and a garden I love so I am outside a lot…

Definitely enjoying my day off early today.

Gonna take a swim and use a new tanning foam :D I haven't actually used a foam self tanner in a good minute... it's an express one, so hopefully, I don't look crazy🤨😐🤨 I usually use the gradual lotions/drops...
