Learning to like Wisconsin less and less. This sunburn I got there this weekend is starting to turn into many small blisters.

are you sweaty at all? After getting a burn, if I workout, it makes little blisters. Unless you actually blistered, in which case, use sunscreen the next time you visit this tropical paradise!

Hopefully that's it. I was scooping the very bottom of an old bin so I was soaked for a bit. I didn't blister until today and we did the water rides on the 3rd so I thought I would have blistered sooner. I did cake down with a spf 50 lotion and use spf 30 sprays 2-3 times through out the day. My daughter thought it was funny that I had a farmers tan. I just asked her what my job was again.

If they are pretty little, that's probably what it is. The one or two times I've actually blistered, it's done so within a day or so and was a painful burn.

I think they call them water blisters or something, sweat gets trapped under the now-dead skin. Doesn't have to be a bad burn either, in my experience. I got them my first workout back from Jamaica in a couple spots that got some sun but not like really burned. We have stopped using the spray because we didn't find it as effective. Easier, but I think we tend to way underestimate how much we need. This time was first time we just used lotion throughout the day instead of starting with lotion then spraying during day and neither of us had any bad burns. Couple spots like my top straps that rubbed off more easily, but overall pretty good.
 
I think most people don't realize that you still have to rub the spray stuff on/in. Spraying it on isn't enough because it will just evaporate with the propellant.
