Having watched my allotment neighbours turning into fried lobster today and yesterday on their plots I thought I should give my 'top tip' for the Easter weekend - suntan lotion. I know it's common sense in this day and age but from what I can see - lily white, semi naked beer bellied men of a certain age getting redder by the day - eww! No nipple piercings mercifully.....Also the sun is a killer for premature ageing and the 'saddle bag' or leather look. Nice....
So my tips - firstly - apply the highest factor suntan lotion possible and reapply frequently. Look for offers in the supermarkets ie BOGOF's. My lotion is 50+ for the more albino skinned like myself.
Try to avoid the midday sun and remember the nights are lighter so you can realistically avoid being fried alive.
Sip water often but don't guzzle.
Wear a hat and put some extra sunscreen on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. If you are fair skinned like me these are the first to go 'lobster'.
Finally if you take your dog/s with you make sure they have shade and provide them with water.
Happy Easter to all.
