sunburn

how do i stop it from burrrninggg???








and what's the best sunscreen.??

meep!

hm, neutrogena has good sunblocks. try them!

and use a skin creme on it so maybe it would hurt as much...and wear sunscreen everytime you go out, and re-apply it every 30 min to an hour! :]

what kind of skin creme??

calamine lotion.
seriously. i got sunburnt on holiday: my ears, a bit patch on my forehead,just at my hairline, my nose and my upper lip, as well as the same area as you.
yeh it was kind of cloudy and i forgot my face and fell asleep on my side with my hair tied up. then i kept brushing it and burning it with straighteners >.<
do not let your ears burn...its so bad! and your moustache area. was ouchee. but fun when it peeled!

and my uncle's sister gave my calamine lotion and it was soooo good. my ear was like on fire but it calmed down soon after i put it on.
well it wasnt actually lotion...it was like calamine and glycerin or something and was like a hard, thick cream. it was sore to rub on (i dabbed it and it was good) but its meant for sunburn or windburn and stuff.

hm, something like this!

then again, cocoa butter may have the same effect if you just put it in the fridge for an hour. :]

and keeks is so right! calamine will save you. :]]]

hehe i feel your pain!
i had to choose between sleeping on my scaffold bar, which leaves it crusty and minging and isnt comfy, or sleeping on my sunburn >.<

meep. maybe elevating your sides on a squishy piller will help? :]

aww, I wouldn't have slept at all!!!


I alwaysalwaysalways freeaaakkk outtt when i get sunburns, I'm always afraid I got skin cancer!!

oh noes!

well

next time, try neutrogena's spray on cooling sunblock - cools the current sunburn and keeps it from getting worse! and you wont have to rub it in and cause more pain!

Thanks. : ]] I'll get some A-SAP.

wah i never burn but id forgotten to do my face for some reason. or i did it when i went out but then when i was lying there i forgot to reapply it.

im always so good >.<

I always use the Cancer Council sunscreen - but I think that's Aussie? It doesn't really matter what brand, as long as it's at least SPF 30. The only thing about the brand is say the consistency of the sunscreen. Personally, I like 'em thick

As for the sunburn, when I got burnt last summer, I got this cream from The Body Shop, and it's an aloe vera one. Brittni's 100% right. Aloe Vera does wonders, cools and heals the skin.

SO GO BUY SOME ALOE VERA CREAM PRONTO!

Oooh. SPF 50? I likey the sound of that. Is it thick?

haha, she meant if the formula itself was thick, but I doubt it, if its for babies.

I have the Banana Boat spf 50 and I loooove that stuff. mine isn't the baby kind though
It feels just like every other sunscreen I've used, so I wouldn't say it's thick.

mmmm i used to use banana boat stuff!
not the baby stuff but the kids stuff.
it was purple and smelled of grapes!
i dont care if its for wee kids, i loved it!

ALOE!!! you can get aloe gel at cvs or rite aide, any kind of pharmacy you've got!

and put it on QUICK! i feel the burn from here : (

it has been said before, but ALOE is the best thing ever for sunburn (and cheapo, if you have a GNC near you...it's only 99 cent)
if you put it on like every hour or so, it should get better quickly

I agree with evryone that says Aloe Vera! I burn so bad as im like overly pale lol but whenver i put aloe on it it feel much better!

Cool baths with epsom salts, and coat yourself with Aloe (refrigerate it for extra cooling).

I also use Banana Boat SPF 50, but the spray-on stuff. I love it!

I sent my dad to the store to get the cooling sunblock that puffy recommended! anddd to get Aloe. : ]]]



It suckeddd sleeping last night. hah.
