While some of us are blessed with the ability to tan, others of us are not as lucky. For some of us, sunburns are a daily occurrence and we swear by aloe vera gel. Personally, being someone that does not tan at all, ever, I have grown accustom to many different situations, some more humorous than others. Here are five things only my fellow pasty people can relate to.
1. You CAN NOT forget to use sunblock!
When you have a pasty white complexion, one of the worst things you can do is forget to wear sunblock! You will burn before you get out your door!
2. Those beautiful burn lines.
Like the people above, you are prone to sunburn lines, not tan lines, but burn lines. Once again, the number one rule is wear sunblock at all times.
3. YOU DON'T TAN, ALL YOU DO IS BURN!
To be honest, there has never been anything but sunburns in your past, there are nothing but sunburns in your present and there will never be anything but burns in your future.
4. Raccoon eyes are nothing new.
Raccoon eyes are no laughing matter. It is one of the reasons why you avoid going outside in the first place! You obviously don't want to be blinded by the sun, but you also don't want to be punished by the sun for doing so.
5. That constant shade of pink over the summer.
No one fully understands why you have a constant pink undertone. While people say that getting dome color is good for you, they rarely mean pink.
We pasty people really have to remember sunblock, but it's something everyone should remember to use! Melanoma effects more than just those who burn. Make sure you use sunblock this summer, regardless of whether or not you burn! And if you still burn, even with sunscreen, just rock your new lobster look.
