How do i prepare for holiday?

How to prepare my skin for my holiday?

• ok so i live in ireland and generally its not warm....at all. so i have a very low tolerance for sun. my skin is extremely sensitive and burns in 10 degree weather even with factor 50 sunscreen. im going to orlando soon and am terrified my skin will ruin my trip as im sure itll burn. is there anything i can do to prepare my skin for the HUGE climate change? thanks :)

• Answer:

  From a Florida gal, all i can say is bring sunscreen. I have a pale complexion myself and I burn easily in the Florida sun. Here is what I do: I always wear sunscreen (make sure it is waterproof/sweat-proof because Florida is humid). Get a wide brim hat to shade you, however since you are going to Orlando, you are probably going to a theme park, not the beach. The hat in a theme park will do you no good because you will be constantly taking it off to go on rides etc. I would invest in a large family-size sunscreen like No-Ad at spf 55 and reapply often. Typically it is less cloudy in Orlando, so the clouds won't reflect the sun. Go into the shade as often as possible and drink lots of water. If you don't mind a farmers' tan, I would advise you to wear a t-shirt instead of a tank top/tube top etc. because that will save you from the painful shoulder burns and back burns. I hope I helped you a little. I know that burns hurt a lot and I am sure you are well versed in the ways of aloe vera, so i am not going to tell you how to treat it. have fun on your vacation!
