This Consumerist article on using sunscreen<\/a> reminds me of our own efforts down in sunny (when it wasn’t thunderstorming) Florida.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We diligently sunscreened before heading out of the hotel each day — currently using Neutrogena UltraSheer Body Mist Sunblock (there’s a mouthful), an SPF “dry” spray that, all hype aside, really didn’t feel like anything going on and staying on,<\/p>\n

It must have been effective, because (with one caveat) we came home pretty unburned, despite spending several hours in the open each day.<\/p>\n

Of course, I also wore a hat, which I always do outside, and which makes quite a difference.<\/p>\n

As to the caveat: on our last day out, we went to Blizzard Beach, a water park at Walt Disney World (and a very fun one, I must say). We didn’t, though, do a swimsuit-worthy job of sunblocking beforehand, nor did we update the load a few times. And, of course, I forgot I wouldn’t be wearing a hat, so I didn’t make sure my scalp was sprayed.<\/p>\n

The result, of course, was some mild sunburn for me on the head and shoulders, which I knew would be the case as I was standing in queues in the full sun for excessive periods of time (the one non-very-fun part of the visit).<\/p>\n

I’ll remember that next time. Regardless, sunscreen yourself. You’ll feel better in the short term, and you’ll definitely avoid some unpleasantness long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
