Sunburn

[Mandy.]

I know this cause I only have to LOOK at the sun to get burnt!?

Glad to know I'm not the only one

I?ve been burned many a time over the years. I?m sure I?ll die of skin cancer.

Treatment really depends on the type of skin you have and how bad the burn is. This is what works for me:

1. Take advil regularly.
2. Throughout the day, spray Solarcaine thoroughly on the burn, and let it dry on its own.
3. Put a good amount of baking soda in a bowl with warm water and a towel. Then hold the towel on the burn. The towel should be lukewarm when applying; as it cools put it back in the water and start over. Do this for several minutes.

#3 is key and it works for me big time. I?ve tried all the folk tales and this is the only one that has ever worked. the baking soda helps your skin retain water, and the slight warmth of the towel sucks the heat out of your skin.
 
Do NOT take a cold shower. It irritates the skin and will make it hurt more.

I burn pretty easily myself, but usually if I moisturize my skin before and after laying out, I just tan.? Hope ya feel better, baby? ?

I was pink on Sunday and Monday, now I look tanned (I think/hope).

Aloe Vera is the single greatest sunburn remedy on the planet.? I've had BAD burns, used Aloe, and not even peeled....

It's the greatest stuff on earth...it can also help in healing small cuts and such, and regular burns as well.

yep get the spray on aloe vera stuff that way u dont have to rub it on the burn

Wear your SPF 50 sunblock next time Evo!!

Sound advice right there. As Stoned will testify I stupidly neglected any kind of skin care on the? Friday of the Download Festival.

So did i but i'm fine, got a decent tan actually, get in!? Was a bit painful at the time but it's sorted itself out, you're first post seems to imply you've never had to deal with this before, you seriously never been sunburnt? (Until now...)

Never all that badly before!

man... sunburn can be scary.

a girl i work with was watching a football thingie (outside) wich lasted about 2H... well, her legs was burned so bad she couldnt walk propperly the next day and the 3 day she was in so much pain she stayed home from work...


aloe vera worked like a dream though!
