geng garing!
during this trip, no one escaped the sunburn
i suspect the guys couldn't care less if they get burned during this upcoming trip however, their more self conscious counterparts would. since i had so much time to kill last night due to the tv being conquered by the guys at home, i start google-ing things to avoid sunburn and found out it's actually very dangerous.
after kicking in into vacation mood, besides my new ipanemas and cap, i also bought sunblock and i'm bringing my other type of sunblocks as well for this trip. here's a list of tips which i've simplified, and i think all should pay attention to:
- limit outdoor activities between 10am-3pm (time tu la kita p snorkeling kan??)
- beware of cloudy days - u can still get burn during this time!
- wear a good pair of sun glasses and some protection on your head (a brim hat is good)
- use sunblock greater than spf 15 - apply 30mins before jumping into the sun and reapply after a dip in the sea/perspiring
- use sunblock with higher PFs (protection factor) on areas like tip of nose, ears, top of feet and shoulders
- sand and water reflect UV rays so even when u're under a tree or an umbrella, ure not totally covered
for the full list, go here. i'm actually extra cautious because i burn easily and my skin doesnt peel after that which means i'll remain "garing" for a very long time. not that i dont like dark skin, i just dont like looking like lobsters.
so girls (and guys as well), it's time to hit the mall to get a good hat and a super effective sunblock like sunplay's with 130spf!
