Many people consider sunscreen to be a summertime necessity, especially after spending the day in the sun. But what happens if someone doesn’t remember to bring it?
A recent event at a nearby zoo emphasizes the value of accountability and open communication, particularly with regard to skincare. OP had organized a fun-filled day to the zoo with her father and older sister.
Aware of the high UV index and the bright sun, OP told her 23-year-old sister to remember to wear sunscreen. She had no idea that this warning would lead to a dispute about sunscreen later in the day.
OP sensed trouble was coming and offered her sister some of her sunscreen, but her sister declined, saying she didn’t need it. She even refused to consider including sunblock in her suitcase.
Her sister didn’t wear a tank top and didn’t pack any sunscreen, even after OP warned her not to, when she arrived to the zoo. OP had packed along only face sunscreen because she had taken precautions herself, such as wearing long sleeves.
Halfway through the day, her sister started to feel the burn and went to OP for support. But unlike ordinary body sunscreen, OP’s sunscreen was specifically imported from Korea and meant for the face.
Her sister was insistent despite OP’s attempts to find a solution, such as offering her flannel to cover up. Her sister ended up with a nasty sunburn as a result.
Tensions increased following the incident as her sister singled out OP for responsibility. Refusing to share, she said that OP had sunblock.
However, OP thought her sister was at blame for disobeying the advice, turning down the sunscreen that was supplied, and rejecting other options. Furthermore, this was not the first time her sister had misplaced something and looked to OP for assistance.
Because of the high UV index, OP suggested to her sister that she pack sunscreen for their planned trip to the zoo with her dad and sibling.
She refused to accept the sunscreen that OP had offered, saying she didn’t need it and wouldn’t even carry it.
She was tanned and asked for sunscreen, to which OP replied that the sunscreen she had was more expensive than standard body sunscreen because it was made especially for the face and came from Korea.
She had previously forgotten things and expected OP to take care of them.
OP’s sister showed a lack of responsibility by refusing to use sunscreen in spite of options and reminders.
She was informed of the repercussions.
She was careless, and it caused the harm.
OP suggests taking a bath with Lipton tea to relax and think back on what you did.
It’s imperative to wear sunscreen; nobody ever regrets doing so.
As an adult, she is accountable to herself and must now deal with the fallout.
Rather of placing blame elsewhere, she ought to own up to her mistakes and deal with the possible sun damage and early aging that may result from them.
She had no intention of becoming sunburned.
She was given opportunities and options by OP, but she turned them down.
The sister of OP demonstrates to us the significance of looking after oneself, particularly in the sun. It wasn’t very responsible of her to choose not to wear sunscreen despite having options and reminders to do so. Despite knowing the potential consequences of not shielding her skin from the sun, she chose to ignore it.
She may now have to cope with sun damage and appearing older than she actually is. She must take responsibility for her choices as an adult and handle the fallout without placing the blame elsewhere.
Rather than offering justifications, she ought to consider the alternatives. Using sunscreen helps to maintain the long-term health of our skin, not only prevent sunburn.
