Wonderful summer day, and like an idiot I got a sunburn on my face. I decided to end it with a very summery shave.

May I recommend a SPF 50+ face fluid? Great for hot, sunny summer days. Or when you go skiing in the mountains on sunny days. I personally combine it with a mattifying moisturizer, as sunscreens tend to add quite a glow/shine to your skin.

I'm usually quite good about putting on sunscreen when I'm out playing with Djunior (trying to be a good example and all), but simply forgot that time. 🤷‍♂️

Happens to the best of us, DJ. As a bald dude I have to be rather meticulous about sun protection, I usually prefer sprays but these new face fluids in bottles with a pump mechanism (similar to artisan aftershave balms) are great for the scalp, face and neck. For sunburn recovery, Aloe Vera gel and cold packs work very well. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thanks! Yeah, my trusty aloe vera après soleil soothed me 😊

Firefighter++;

Love that soap!

[–] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Indeed! And it didn't get enough attention this summer

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It didn't get much attention from me either. I have a number of warm weather soaps, like Firefighter, that I want to use. I think it is time to move away from Sample September for a while. :)

Yeah, I skipped the sample part of Sample Straightember this year. I missed to many of my soaps😊
