Sweet Jesus, This Sucks
Dear skin:
Please stop itching like crazy for no apparent reason. You cannot possibly be developing an allergic reaction to my sunscreen, a brand which I have used for years without incident. Yes, I know they say high SPF, which is the only kind I use, can cause skin irritation, but I've used high-SPF sunscreens ever since they were in widespread use and I've never had ill effects from them before, and I'm damn sure not going to stop now. (For those of you just joining the long-running, if not terribly popular, Wang Xi-feng Show, I'm very fair-skinned and there's a history of skin cancer in my family, so I'm very careful about the sunscreen. 55 is the absolute lowest SPF I feel safe with, and I prefer the higher ranges; Neutrogena makes SPF 110 now.)
Moreover, I see no evidence of bites or irritation--just itchiness. I guess it could be body hair in that awkward, prickly growing-back-in stage, but it doesn't usually itch like this. (I also guess it could be contact dermatitis from the hotel sheets in Ohio, but that's really something that happens to the lolmom, not me.)
Whatever your problem is, get over it or I will take matters into my own hands. This, I assure you, you will not like.
No love whatsoever,
