I too have one of those funny brown patches, looks really silly but is VERY brown!
Just wish the rest of me was as brown, Arms, shoulders, ( strappy t shirt shape ) all brown, tummy, back, bottom all white, base of back brown, legs in between colours unless covered in mud lol

The bottoms of my moobs are still white! Just have to do a bit of upside down gardening to get an all over tan. Now when was the last time I did a handstand?????? Must have been about 30 years ago..................

My skin goes straight to red without going anywhere near brown which makes summer quite miserable even with factor 40/50 on. Makes it worse that my birthday is in mid August and I have to sit in the shade while everyone laps up those rays (inc my brother and parents - where did my fair hair and pale skin come from?)
OH is a red head with very white freckly skin which burns in the shade (honestly he burnt from the sun reflecting off the grass). On holiday in Ireland we discovered a product called Parasol - developed for Irish skins - we know it works because OH doesn't burn anymore! It's not cheap, but OH won't move from the house without it - it's completely changed his summers!
Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!
I had to wear a wider strapped t shirt today cos I got a bit burnt yesterday. It was supposed to be cooler but it was 82 in my shed in the shade with the door open.

To get sunshine, buy an umbrella, to get showers, buy sunscreen.....
