I am SO white, with freckles and moles and all kinds of splotches because evidently I was never meant to live in the high desert where the sun is like a laser beam.
Despite me best efforts, I pretty much get a little pink every time I have to be outside for more than 10 minutes (including driving). In the fall and winter it is easier because I just cover up but in summer it is hot, I don't want to wear long sleeves and I am not going to carry a tube of 45 spf around work to reapply every hour.
So now, I can't wear half my clothes because I have a total farmer's tan. I put on sunscreen twice a day, wear hats when appropriate, but even so my driver side arm is a completely different color than right, I have a 'ring' around my neck. and I just started getting age spot on my hands My legs are still white because apparently they reflect sun- blerg.
I have enough moles and scaly spots to know the sun is not my friend and I have to really start taking sun protection to the next level. Like I said, my skin is not porcelain...how am I ever going to embrace being so pale and splotchy?
