Had a friend that got burned badly on the face and hands once in a gasoline explosion. The skin was falling off his face and he looked terrible. We all thought he was going to be scared for life. He said he got a look at himself in the truck mirror on the way to the hospital and thought the same thing. They flew him to a burn center and all the way there he was bemoaning how bad he was going to look for the rest of his life.

The doctor was waiting for him when he arrived at the burn center. The doctor was looking him over real good when my friend asked him, "How bad is it Doc?" He said the doctor told him, "Women pay me 3-4,000 dollars to do that to their face with chemicals. Your bill will be a little higher but you'll leave here looking at least 10 to 20 years younger." My friend said he quit worrying so much at that point. :-)

The bill was higher and he did leave there looking a lot younger.

Fair skinned people ( Northern European heritage) tend to  burn more easily and get skin cancer more easily.

Yes.

I don't tend to "burn more easily," but that's probably because I take rigorous precautions.

Of course, I take those precautions because melanoma is no fun.....not to mention expensive.

What I find exasperating is that just as I think I've gotten it beat, ooops, it pops up again.

This skin, genetically, was made to be caressed by the North Sea, softened by the Baltic Sea, not burned by the Sandhills sun.

For me, I always thought the "perfect" climes for this skin are the Highlands of Scotland in January.....the problem there being it's January only once a year in the Highlands of Scotland.

Our colleague John is right, though; surgeons do a good job, a great job.

My face is peeling, dry and pink. The parts I can peel off look great. For a few days after I stopped the carac it looked worse, then over the past couple of days it has gotten increasingly better. The part that has peeled is totally clear and smooth. Also my pores appear a lot smaller, almost non existent.  My face still itches and is very tight. Hopefully in the next week my face will have totally peeled. I don't mind the pink color as after I put my makeup on I just look like I spent a couple hours in the sun.
