Sunburns

One of the things Natasha has commented on is how in Russia she would NEVER get a sunburn. Here in Omaha, we were outside riding bikes for about 2 hours, and she got a pretty good one on her arms and legs. Any similar experiences? Theories on the cause?

No theories... but aloe vera is very soothing and prevents peeling a bit.

Yeah, I suggested that already but Natasha has so far preferred the traditional Russian remedy - sour cream. If only I liked sour cream, it would be more tolerable when I apply it for her, but then again.......

it's just a guess, but i would think omaha is more southern located, what would make the sunlight more direct (and stronger). (guess that depends from where in russia she is, but i think almost all of russia is more northern than omaha...)

That seems reasonable to me, Marash.

You know, we are having the same problem here in Florida.

My wife now use Neutragena SPF 85.

My Alla generally gets darker in Russia in the summer. She has only complained of a sunburn when at rest on the Black Sea a few years back. No experiences yet of how the sun will affect her here.

Svetlana is a beautiful Russian snow maiden.

But I can't wait to see her as a sun-kissed South Floridian, also.

We live in Pennsylvannia and Mariya has been sun burned before. We went to the pool about a week ago and two days after she was sunburned and her skin started peeling she was shocked and said it never happened to her before so now we use sunblock
