Nah, it could be Bell's Paulsy but then Dr. D would know better.

Actually it is a side effect of detox.

You mean the prickly feeling is a side effect of detox? Wheres the logic? Or should I post this question in the "ask a question" post??

do u get a rash following the sensation? its usual to get that feeling if you are not used to extreme temperature changes.

If you do get a rash its excessive histamine secretions which follow exposure to sun.

try applying a good sunblock, and before sleeping at night put on thinly cut slices of cucumber. Aloe vera can help as well.

ITs just the hot n humid weather outside..humidity.. thats it.

Great suggestion, although I did apply the sun block before I went out. And its from the skin specialist!!

I forgot about cucumber. I used to goto sleep with them on my face.

by the way, is it true that the maximum coverage for a sun block is SPF 30. Anything beyond that actually doesnt give further protection.

I don't know if it's true but I've often heard the same thing.

sunblocks do not offer 100% protection, it just minimises the damage. the best way is to put it on and avoid sun. drink loads of water, and eat fruits high on water content(watermelon), and cucumber and aloe vera help:) i guess nothing would go wrong after that.

Believe it or not. I once used SPF 90 for diving under extreme weather condition. I wasnt even burnt !! So I guess the higher the SPF does help? !!

Typoical problems of fair skinned folks..

Its either - Dont go out n get roasted in the hot sun or go n enjoy if u feel good abt it for me.. oh n I dont remember getting a sun burn .. thanks for that extra melanin.
