In the winter several of us get chapped hands.  The backs of our hands get red, the skin cracks and bleeds and they just hurt.  Of course, having them in water doesn’t help but I am not willing to tell the kids that they can’t do dishes any more (aww)

 
Four of my kids were away at church camp in Oklahoma last week..They had an absolute blast.  The came back exhausted.  And burnt to a proverbial crisp.
Sean and Nick had areas on them that were burnt so bad that they were peeling and raw.  OUCH! Thank God they have a habit of wearing hats and thier faces were protected.  Somewhat.
You know how you see something and it makes you actually hurt? Well it was that way looking at them.

This is me. I took the picture myself. It is not the best picture of me in the entire universe but it is pretty representative of how I look. It was taken last year.
I am 48. I have had eight kids. And lots of people tell me my skin is incredible. Eh. Maybe. So how do I take care of my skin?
