Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML

Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML

Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML

Today, I was really badly sunburnt, so I put on some after-sun. The only type we have has glitter in it, and now I look like a sparkling tomato. FML

Today, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. FML

Today, I got 2 creams for a skin condition. The one for my face says "Don't expose skin to sun after use of this product". The one for the rest of my body says "This product relies on exposure to the sun". In other words, I have to be outside as much as I can, naked and with a box on my head. FML

Today, I got sunburnt to a crisp on the first day of my holidays away. Only 5 more days to go now, spent inside, trying not to burn more. FML

Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. I was the only one who put on sunblock, and the only one who got a sunburn. FML

Today I got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML

do you have Albinism?? My daughter does and burns super easily!! 30 SPF or higher is highly recommended and if swimming you should reapply every 90 minutes. I've found neutrogena and blue lizard sunscreens work well!

ummm... this happened to me once... went to the dr and ge said it wasn't a sun burn at all... it turned out to be a chemical burn... as well as an allergic reaction to the brand of sunscreen. Try using Aveeno... it's the only thing I've found that works! :) Good luck!
