r/Redhair

Hi all,

Weather for next week looks insane.

My son is ginger, and has the ginger skin. I know absolutely nothing about protecting ginger skin, my son being ginger came out of nowhere, mine and hubbys family is full of olive skinned brunettes.

Is there anything you do to keep on top of it? Last year I was too scared to have him out in the sun at all (he was coming up to 1) but he’s 2 now and he loves his garden.

We’ve got a marque up on the garden, I have factor 50, I’ve got hats with chin straps that have the flap bit down his neck.

How often do I put sun tan lotion on?

Is there anything else you do to protect them?

Hey everyone! Erin here. thank you to everyone who did my skincare survey! I truly appreciate it. I'm still working on the ideas and branding, but when we get closer to launch, I'm hoping to start using redheads you follow- and also some of you if you want to do a video talking about the products. You'd have to show your hands at least if you don't want to show your face.

If you want to email, you can go ahead and email me at skinroux@gmail.com .

Or just drop a comment with redheads you follow on social media across any platform so I can hit them up! I've followed a bunch, but haven't reached out to anyone directly yet.

Thank you in advance!

Working on getting the trademark, so the name might be Rouxe Skin (or Roux Skin depending). still working on all of that.. haha. I'll keep you posted when we launch to the people who asked. 😄

Also, if you are in the UK or another country, I will let you know when we are getting ready to launch there too if you're interested. Looking for any gender to help out.

I don't really know what is going on, but lately, there has been a rapid increase of men openly telling me (or my partner) how much they love my red hair (or redheads in general).

I mean most of the time, especially if it is just one small compliment or comment, I am perfectly fine with it and enjoy the positive attention.

Yet, if it is anything more, I can't help but think what they are likely thinking in their head, which grosses me out. Especially when they make a creepy, lustful face to go along with it. Ugh.

Today was especially bad. I was heading into a store with my partner, and this random, drunk guy started yelling, following us telling us how much he loves redheads. How great they are.... and then he started talking about sex with redheads... which is where my partner started to put distance between him and I. Eventually, he got bored and angry because he started leaving and then said how he hates redheads ??

I was already overwhelmed before that, and it sent me over the edge, and I broke down. My partner apologized, saying he wasn't sure what to do and was just shocked at it happening. I simply explained to him that most people who make it very apparent that they LOVE redheads are usually the ones who are also sexualizing/objectifying them.

I just felt like talking about this somewhere, and I'm sure many of you guys have similar stories...

I know there are formulas for black, natural blonde, and brown hair, but I've never heard of one for red hair

I hope this post is welcome even though I don't have red hair myself. But I gave birth to the most beautiful little baby boy a month ago, and his hair is red as fire. But nobody in either mine or my partners family have red hair. Not even a little. Not even in the entire extended family. Nothing. My first thought when he came out was "how is his hair red!?". It suits him, though, and he's just completely perfect. Do any of you red haired people also come from families with no red hair at all? Is this common?

It’s summer in the northern hemisphere and freckle season is upon us. I’d like to buy sunscreen in bulk, does anyone have any tips for how to do this?

Also thread for any tips on sunburn avoidance!
