Bad mother--can I put foundation on my dd's cheeks--help!!!

[piratecat]

e spent two hrs onthe beach betwen 2-4 yesterday. Slapped lots of suncream on her, but as she was playing by the water the sun has caught her cheeks.[blussh]

She's not complaining of them hurting, but I am so embarrassed, so I am thinking foundation .

the rest of her is fine, just those little cheeks.

leave it TBH - she won't be the only child with pink cheeks today!

lots of aftersun or something moisturising will help calm it down

I wouldn't. Just after-sun. Anything else could irritate her skin. Don't worry, it will go quickly.

Just leave it I would say. Aftersun obv.

DS had bright red cheeks yesterday as I forgot to put suncream on him at all on Saturday and he was out all day.

I think foundation would make it look worse to be honest.

gawd!!

i think she got the majority of it on saturday rather than yesterday. We went to Torquay, shoe shopping for her, and tbh it wasn't that hot, and i didn't even think of suncream.

yesterday just heated/scorched what was already there.

I'l put the foundation away!!! heehee.

I have a red nose today. Spent the weekend out in the glorious sun and did apply sunscreen but applied it like moisturizer (i.e. not much in the T-zone) so now I look like rudolph. Send her over here we can be embarrassed together.

lol, @ Rudolph.

the sun is very deceptive. When we went to the beach, it was so hazy. I know that the uv's were there, but as I said, when it doesn't 'feel' hot you don't respect it enough.

Just to say, it is slapped cheek syndrome not sunburn!!!

Oh dear! Well at least you can stop feeling guilty now!

oh no!

oh dear. But definitely not your fault. Hope she gets well soon.
