In all my 30 something years i've never had a tan (apart from the bottled variety) i'm naturally red haired, have really pale skin with freckles so usually burn and then go white again.

All of a sudden my skin has decided to tan, I even have tan lines , I wonder if I'm some kind of medical phenomenon

I've heard that hormones after having a baby can affect your skin - but then I thought it was that it became more sensitive



OR maybe you are a medical phenomenom

I think pregnancy has a lot to answer for, and it could well be related. My scalp has become mega sensitive where as before Amelia I could have washed it in fairy liquid and it would've been fine.

hmmmmm! thats peculiar, i have 30gazillion freckles this year some of which are new (i got a weird patch on my chest?! never had that before) but yeah my skin and hair are still knackered from elijah so lucky you i think it normally works the other way round?!

we shall sell you to the highest bidder for medical research!!

ive noticed this too actually. everyone comments on how tanned I look after a day at the park I used to burn so badly.

mmm maybe it is pregnancy? wonder if having another baby would make me tan even more?

its so strange, I suppose before I was stuck behind a desk all day whereas now I'm pretty much outside all the time. I'm not having another baby to test it mind Steph, I'll leave that up to you
