The Cream Slip-Up

Embarking on a solo sunny adventure, our hero valiantly attempted to apply sunscreen to his back, but alas, even the most flexible contortions couldn’t reach every nook and cranny. The result shows a comically sunburned strip down the middle, reminiscent of a reverse tan line.

It is true that sunscreen protects the skin it’s directly applied to, but it may not fully shield adjacent areas due to the way it’s absorbed and spread. So, while our intrepid traveler may have missed a spot, he inadvertently stumbled upon a quirky reminder that even the best-laid plans can leave a little room for sunburnt surprises.
