I am often guilty of not following much of the advice and tips I share online, but in this instance, I am deliberate about applying either the lotion or sunscreen well in advance of dressing, giving it plenty of time to dry.

Just a few weeks ago, I had a run in with poison ivy, which surprised me because thanks to Gray and Boy Scouts, I am really good at identifying it.
