When spring break roles around and your body hasn't seen sunlight since last summer, you're feeling super pasty and in need of some sun. The problem is when you are irish, you tend to burn instead of tan...
1. First day of vacation you sit your butt in a chair and are desperate for some color.
I do not plan on moving...
2. By late afternoon on your first day of vacay your mom mentions you look a little blotchy and may want to reapply sunscreen.
but you're thinking eh the sun's almost gone anyways.
3. Mistake! When you get in the shower after the beach, the hot water stings your burns.
OWWWWW!
4. That night your body is on fire.
Your skin is literally hot to the touch.
5. And you avoid touching anything because it could hurt you.
Did your eyelids or lips get burnt? If they did they are definitely swollen.
6. Simple things like sitting in a chair are a struggle because your butt is also raw and red.
7. You ask your mom to rub some aloe on your back.
But she isn't gentle enough.
8. The next day you hide from the sun.
But since you're on vacation you still have to go to the beach.
9. You're hoping the sunburn is dying down but when you look in the mirror that night you look like this.
So rough.
10. After avoiding the sun for a couple days you begin to peel.
Like a freaking orange.
11. When vacation is over instead of having a nice bronzed glow you tend to just be uneven everywhere and discolored.
And every time you get sunburned you promise to yourself it will never happen again...but unfortunately it is inevitable.
