Yesterday was the first nice day out and also despite wearing and reapplying sunscreen, my first burn of the seasonš¤¦š¼āāļø it has been a struggle friends! I noticed last year that despite using MD grade sunscreens they werenāt lasting and I was still getting burned. Last July, I even ended up blistering on my face. I never made the connection that my autoimmunes could be the culprit and that with age it all gets worse until I read an article my doctorās office sent out. It made sense, especially after having people constantly tell me I need to wear sunscreen or I am not wearing the right sunscreen. No. I am. My body just eats it up in fifteen to thirty minutes and I end up burned. It is frustrating, especially as someone who loves the beach and sun and summer is literally my happy time. Finding this out was definitely a bummer, but it also gives me the tools I need to better protect myself. I wonāt stop beachinā and havenāt stopped living especially after my diagnoses, but Iāll definitely take better pecautions because no one wants to look like a lobsterš„°š¦ thanks for coming to my ted talk!𤪠stay safe out there friends and enjoy the sun, but remember sunscreen!
