A NURSE has been spilling the tea on her skin-saving secrets.
Her approach may seem outlandish to some, but it’s a pragmatic reaction to life in a hot climate.
In the long term, she will protect herself from damage and premature signs of aging.
Maddy (@skinovateclinic) says there’s no shame in the anti-aging game.
And anyway, she’s proud to be giving “rich auntie energy.”
She is a skin nurse and has seen firsthand the dangers posed by exposure to the sun.
The issue has been exacerbated for her because of her medication, which makes her intolerant to UVF rays.
It makes the need to protect her skin even more pressing.
Still, her full UVF protection gear in the car is a bit of a surprise to see for how unusual it is.
“My SPF driving secrets,” she said in her post.
“I’m going to start a revolution. There is no shame in my SPF game,” she added.
She was wearing a dark, tinted visor that completely shielded her face.
“I got mine off Blue Stone Shields in America. $70. The only company online that I could find with guarantees it would have SPF protection,” she wrote.
She also wore protection for her hands.
“These are just from Amazon, they’re cheap one-time cotton gloves,” she said.
“They are fantastic for driving. But I like the cotton ones because my hands can breathe,” she said.
“Hot rich aunty forever. Get on it,” she said.
Maddy’s attempts to protect her skin are not mere eccentricity.
The Cancer Council of Australia sells driving gloves for the very reason Maddy points out.
Commenters could understand what she was doing.
“So basically works like sunglasses and a sun shield. I love it,” said one person.
“I love this. My skin is so sensitive to the sun. I’m like porcelain,” said another person.
“I worked in air traffic control and everyone thought I was metal reapplying sunscreen every hour and wearing gloves in all weather,” recalled one viewer.
“I don’t care how people think about me when I go outside with full sun protection because sun damage is real,” reminded another person.
“My grandma always drove her car with white gloves and a scarf covering her neck. She had amazing skin till she passed,” remembered a fan.
