Hi Sanbar! I am an avid gardener so I can appreciate your dilemma! I usually try a few things. First, I rotate my outfits. On days I need to be on my knees a lot (insert joke here) I wear longer, but lightweight pants. No tan lines there. I wear a tank top or the top of a tankini and try to remember to move the straps around. If it's too chilly, I start with a tee and roll the sleeves up once I work up a little body heat. If it's really warm, I will wear shorter pants or shorts. No avoiding the tan lines. If I'm working in my backyard where no one can see me, I wear as little as possible!! The shoes are a bit more of a challenge. I have gardners shoes that I wear with socks, so I get the dreaded white feet. The belly is always whiter too. I have found that a good self tanner is an absolute must. I do not tan my face, so I use the self tanner there anyway. I use it on my feet and it works great. You can also use it on your belly. Just make sure you exfoliate really well before applying. Then, when I am ready to get out and soak up the sun for real, I don't feel like a piano! Good luck!
I have a horse farm and have to spend a bit of my day everyday outside. I just sunblock the heck out of myself since I don't like to have a tan anywhere any more.
