eyelids
2002-01-08

There are certain details that have been glossed over during this last month, and it is imperative that they are discussed.

When I was in Puerto Rico, the only part of me that got burned was my eyelids. This was the result of one carefree (and careless) morning of hot-tubbing, where Coppertone SPF 40 waterproof/sweatproof sunblock was applied to every conceivable part of me EXCEPT my eyelids. They became dry and peely and I couldn't apply eyemakeup or foundation in any aesthetically pleasing manner on them for weeks. Now they are OK again.
