That is a very smart woman. I put sun block 50 on this morning just to work in the yard for 2.5 hours shovelling gravel and my skin still feels upset about it.hedge wrote:Women of a certain class of the generation previous to my mother's were very careful to stay out of the sun. Tanned skin was associated with outdoor work, particularly field work. They sat indoors all day and played bridge and drank tea (or vodka). I remember old Mrs Woodard, her skin was white as Casper the ghost. Always wore a big ass hat and gloves. She lived to be about 90, though. Looked pretty good for her age...
Stay out of the sun. Live long.
