Title: still tan from this summer
Post by: texasmom on October 31, 2007, 11:42:42 AM
:) My son still has his suntan from swimming in August.  He'll peel next month.

Why will he peel?

My kids are all still pretty dark too (despite all the sunscreen put on them) but they just fade after a while.  Peeling only occurs if they get burned.

I don't know why he peels when he tans.  I do too. I peeled last week from my tan from August.  His always lasts a little bit more than mine, then he peels.  But there's no burn.  We both think it's disgusting.

Probably a humidity thing...it is humid here all the time, maybe that is why my kids don't peel.

I was just on a trip to Europe and looked in the mirror before going out to dinner one night and my face looked like a lizard half-way through changing its skin.  

I had to use my wife's moisturiser...very embarrasing.

Sun=Radiation
Radiation= Melanoma
Melonoma, if detected in its later stages, = Death.

So, IMO, prolonged exposure to the sun=Death.

Sunscreen yourself or go through months of Chemo like my brother-in-law just has at age 40. He's still not out of the proverbial woods yet.

Actually, that's something to ponder on.  I don't know why we peel. Two of my kids are white (well, they take after their dad... and have ghost white skin), so they don't even tan ~ they immediately burn if they're not slathered with sunscreen.  Then right away they peel.  In fact, one blisters. He usually doesn't go outside in the summer without a hat (he's the redhead below).

I guess the other son & I just take longer? I don't know why. We're freaks of nature I guess?

Judging by that last picture the son on the left REALLY tans.  Even puts my daughter to shame and she is half asian.
