Sunburn is such an interesting affliction.
You know how sunburn creates a layer of dead skin on top of your healthy skin right?
After half an hour of working the punching bag yesterday, I found out that perspiring while you're recovering from sunburn has interesting results.
Basically, your healthy skin perspires, but the moisture can't make it out of the dead skin, so guess what happens?
YOU FIND YOUR ENTIRE UPPER BODY COVERED IN LITTLE BUBBLES FILLED WITH SWEAT.
Fuck man I felt like I had become some kind of reptile. But it was quite fun! I popped a few of these bubbles to find that it was painless, and that most of the dead skin was ready to come off.
Now that, is where the fun of sunburn truly starts.
Highlight of the night: I managed to peel off a humungous piece the size of a $2 note! And several other less-impressive-but-still-not-to-be-scoffed-at specimens.
Try it! The challenge is in keeping it intact while peeling.
