skin cream, body lotion

Yesterday for the first time in months I was able to spend time outdoors gardening. I was so excited to be able to spend some time in my garden that I forgot to put on any protective skin cream. I had used body lotion when I got out of the shower but that was as just to sooth my dry skin. I needed my favorite protective skin care to keep my face, neck and shoulders from being damaged by the sun. I was wrapped up in my gardening and enjoying the fresh air when my phone rang. I had brought the phone out to the patio when I started working outside earlier and was surprised to find my sister on the other end as we had just spent all day together the previous day. Almost the first thing she asked was if I was using my skin cream. It was only then that I remembered I had not used my protective skin cream on my face. Apparently when my sister was enjoying here morning coffee she remembered me mentioning the previous day that I was looking forward to gardening. She also remembered what happened last year where I had forgotten to wear the proper skin cream and had suffered for days afterwords so she thought she would give me a call as a little reminder and I am so glad she did.
