Ladies, i need your help!

goodoldtex Posts: 564 Joined: 2004/01/25	2004/04/20, 03:11 PM Okay, i have a couple of questions..and i thought it would be best to ask women these questions. First) Shaving is a PAIN in the arse. Do women use electric razors, or regular razors, or a combination of both (electric for a quick shave, regular to get the fine tuning). (i shave my arms and legs every other day just about) Second) I am possibly the whitest shade of white i've seen on a person yet (understatement, heres better way of putting it: turn off the lights, and i glow :) gotta love being scottish/irish ). How should i go about changing this since i know women like a man with some color. Third) I got ROYALLY sunburned yesterday at the Boston Marathon...how should i go about treating this so i don't peel like a mug...and whats a good lotion to use cause this ish hurts. i know i have more, but i lost them in the process of writing the others....but thanks for any help in advance

Try one of the spraybooth tanning slons and avoid the burning and cancer risk, or have a gal friend help you get a smooth coat of coppertone tanning or similar product. Irish/Scotish boys are handsome because their hair is such a contrast from their fair skin. Not all girls like darker toned skin. And second on the aloe aloe aloe, there are even some sunburn specific formulas that have a little topical anagelsic in them. While you are at the drugstore stocking up on cream, lotions, razors, etc, buy some decent sunscreen and a baseball cap with a brim on it to protect your beautiful irish/Scottish skin! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

Umm, I'm not sure what part of your body this relates to, but I use this on legs and underarms, waxing for the more important stuff. As far as tanning, I am also very fair. You need to start slow, early in the spring when it is warm but not hot. You risk burning easily and the spring sun is just going to be easier on you. Not more than an hour a day and inside by 1pm. I did this last summer and I got a beautiful tan. Moisturizers for post tan and everyday, I use Neutrogena body lotion with sesame oil. It feels great and it's not greasy. I also use Neutrogena body oil after my showers. You can't be too soft. Okay, I can't be too soft. You must not allow yourself to burn. The aloe really is your best bet and you are probably going to peel anyway. -------------- Anni ******* Freud was WRONG!
princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/04/20, 04:28 PM got to disagree with the sun tan advice. Either use bronzer or don't bother. Personally I love the pale skin/dark hair combo but if you must get a tan be careful. I won't bore you all with the story about my brother's cured melanoma or my friend who died from it aged 28, just think about what you're doing first I hate to sound like a school teacher but that goes for you too anni313!
goodoldtex Posts: 564 Joined: 2004/01/25	2004/04/20, 05:09 PM haha yeah...the boston marathon was a mistake, im normally all over the sunscreen (esp on the tattoos bc i don't want them fading (bullfrog SPF70 <nicknamed ozone> keeps the tattoos safe)) We were gonna go play ball and frisbee for one hour so i grabbed a tank top and ran.....yeah...mistake...they decided they wanted to watch the marathon for 6 hrs. So i'm sitting here with a burn that makes me look like im constantly wearing my white tank top with the exception of the tattoos. My face looks fine, had a ballcap on the entire time. Welp, thanks again for the advice...i just may go for the fair skin/dark hair look...seems easiest ;) :big_smile: must.....find......ALOE

(SPF 4) 2. moderate SPF everytime you are in the sun. 3. mix vineager and cool water, soak a rag in this and place on the burn..do not go close to others until you have showered...and follow with aloe vera, pure from the plant if you can get it that way. Asimmer....wax your arms, doesn't hurt that much, lasts much longer and no stubble as the hair will grow back in it's normal state!

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/04/21, 12:00 PM i agree with asimmer on the no safe tan thing. it makes me glad i have olive skin and don't have to worry about it:) waxing on the other hand...it's really not that bad. i've been doing my legs for more than a year now, and i can hardly even feel it anymore. you should try it a couple of times, you'd be surprised. same goes for you tex - it's much easier than shaving! -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.
