A-peelin'

I do not have an over abundance of melanin in my skin – well, more accurately I have both an abundance, freckles, and lack of defensive melanin against the harmful UV rays, sunburns. While my parents and grandparents skin would tan, my brother and I remain fair and burn easily.

I am currently sloughing off the results of a weekend of sun exposure. I both enjoy and dislike peeling – I like it because it’s neat to see an epithelial layer but it’s annoying as all get out to shed yourself everywhere you go. I still can’t help but pick at it.
