Vent: A client in her 70s told me she's never used sunscreen a day in her life
I was doing a basic facial for a regular in Phoenix, and when I reached for the SPF 50 to finish, she just laughed and said 'honey, I grew up putting baby oil on at the beach.' Her skin actually looked pretty good, which really threw me. Has anyone else had a client with perfect skin who totally broke all the rules we preach?

My grandma was the same way, and it's true what @sethh58 said about the sun just giving up on some people. Genetics play a huge role, so those old rules don't apply to everyone. I just tell clients she won the skin lottery and leave it at that.

Guess the sun just gave up on her, huh?

Yeah, like it saw the forecast and just called in sick for the week. Total no-show. You can almost picture it shrugging from behind a cloud bank. Makes you wonder if it's got a better gig somewhere else, leaving her with this permanent drizzle. Pretty rude, if you ask me.
