Can't recall ever having a goggle tan maybe because will pull off goggles at times riding up lifts so it evens out. My face has a good overall tan now because have been street walking sans hat often during this shelter in place order. Sunny tomorrow plan to visit an obscure coastal beach for the first time this year for some stone photography and likely with hotter weather coming, will get some full body sun afterwards. Note most of our publicly accessible coastal shores are closed now however there are non park locations for the map savvy.

No goggle tan for many years, due to severe damage when young, but I do take pride in my farmer's tan from gardening and dog walking/summer hiking - not something I would ever allow a photo of, however

When my son was young he was always a bit cold and wore a full face mask. Then one time at Crested Butte he took it off (hey, Colorado is warmer than Vermont -- go figure). I was so used to his habits that I didn't think about it and he got a horrible goggle sunburn. I got in big trouble when we got home. The dermatologist said "Yeah, it happens. Try not to do it again" and spent the rest of the visit talking to him about the skiing.

Ski season ended before the sun came out in Michigan.

We are pretty good with suntan lotions. Twice a day during the winter months. Usually we do not pick up much color to mid March. From mid-march onward, we usually apply suntan lotion four to six time per day. Still get pretty toasty. Spring skiing in April and May is hopeless.

Of the three of us, @A Grump picks up color most readily. Been like that since he was a kid.

This is him with his older cousins at Squaw when he was 6.

Couple seasons back in mid March.

3rd week in April at Chez Ziggy with @Rainbow Jenny . We were all pretty toasty skiing everyday. @A Grump even have a helmet from his hard ear helmet.

Nice goggle tan, but @David Chaus ... are those your roses and boxwoods? Did you plant them and do you prune them yourself?
Sorry, no. This was at Peninsula Park Rose Garden in Portland, not as famous or as expansive as the Rose Test Garden at Washington Park, but better landscaped as far as I'm concerned.

As noted, I haven't had a goggle tan for decades as will just pull up the goggles for a bit during solo lift rides while I relax closing my eyes and take a nap. At the moment have one of the deepest full face tans I've had in years from just walking streets for exercise during shelter in place. Will be head ready for beaches to open up in a couple weeks. Would post a pic were it not off topic.
