I'm Getting Tanned!

When the BFF saw me that day, she was like, "FWAAAH, why are you so tanned?" I am?!!! I know I got a little more tanned from runs and walking the dog, but it couldn't be that bad? She started laughing. She's the one who dives regularly, and the moment the government permitted us to do so, she zipped out to dive at Pulau Hantu, and has been doing that every week.

I put out an arm. Erm... my shoulders and arms are like three shades darker than hers. While I'm careful about my face (I spent a lot of money and time on lightening the solar lentigines okay), and now religiously slather sunblock and wear a huge hat without fail, and even carry brollies under the sun, I've neglected every other patches of skin. Hahaha. Realized that my legs are super pale. Ugh. This needs to be rectified. 

I don't swim in sunshine anymore. I do early morning swims when the sun doesn't hit this side of the pool, or night swims. Gotta tan those legs, so I'll have to be in shorts to do so. I can't wear shorts while running. The itch on the thighs get to me within ten minutes. And I never bother running when the sun is high and intense. So I've been wearing shorts when walking the dog in the mornings. I don't think that helps very much.

I gleefully reported back to the BFF about how I'm attempting to even out the skin shades. She shot back, "DID YOU PUT ON SUNSCREEN?" Ermmm... how about no? I keep forgetting and I really don't bother. Putting sunscreen on such a large swathe of skin feels like a waste of time. I'm not baking myself in the sun. It's just getting some UV rays through the trees and for a short time at the parks and beachs. I'm in a bit a hurry to get the legs a little darker anyway. Heh. "Go get a bottle of body moisturizer with SPF 30 lah." Hmmm. We'll see.
