Suncream and bugs don't mix - Fact!

Where are my stabilisers?
edited June 2009 in Women
Anyone else experienced this?

Nice hot day today, so I plastered the suncream on before my ride, by the time I got back I was covered in bugs :lol:

Think I put too much on and didn't rub it in properly or something - at least I didn't burn though!!

Had a bit of a nightmare the other day with fake tan too - Went riding with my knee pads on, when I took them off my fake tan had gone all patchy :shock: - It was fine before I went, must have got a bit warm!!

The joy's of summer :D

    Yep, happened at the weekend. It was like a scene out of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Slathered myself with coconut scented sun lotion and went out to walk the dog. At the end, Mr said, "you have a bug in your hair" and stopped me to pick it out. Afterwards, as I turned away from him, he just said, "oh god" and started brushing my back down like I was on fire :lol:

  • Fake tan - cycling. Why? I'm clearly not a *proper* girl.

    But I do have gloves with a pink bit on them (oh the SHAME!!!)

    Meh, I never read that far into someone's post. I prefer to get the jist of an idea, then leap to entirely the wrong conclusion. Life is more interesting that way, I find
