Sun Burnt!!!!!!

[elusiverunner]

I have tried sliced tomato on sunburn and it does work a treat - takes the sting out and helps the skin repair itself. If not tomato then try vitamin A.

All the best and hope your sunburn clears up soon.

Aloe vera is the bomb, works great.
When I burn I get blisters, bad. Moisturiser makes the blisters swell, and becomes extreemly painful.
Warm shower, some Aloe Vera, an keep reapplying it, will work wonders.

Omg i wish i read this 6 hours ago!! My missus told me to use this moisturiser from "Garnier", called "garnier body summer" - Not knowing anything about how to heal sun burn, i trusted her and applied the cream in heaps! Didn't seem to do anything...however, 5 minutes later i have never felt such a strong burning pain in all my life!!!

I immediately rang her asking "what the F*#K* is this stuff?" - she then started to burst out laughing..i had no idea what was going on at this stage, so asked her and she then proceeded to tell me that she gave me the wrong cream on purpose, knowing full well that it will sting, to teach me a lesson for not wearing sun cream!! I swear she is the devil sometimes.. :

So anyone who gets sun burnt over the next few weeks, DO NOT apply this stuff!

There is some stuff called 'Nice and icey' it has alcohol in it which sucks the heat out only thing is you can't use on your face, Another thing i do is put a wet face washer in the freezer until solid (about ten minutes) then put on face and just keep doing it this will take the radient heat out
