Ouch..

[Brandy Hunter]

I never was able to significantly tan or burn before. So this weekend I didn't take any precautions to use sunblock.

Biggest mistake


Worst part is, I didn't even sit out in the sun. I litterally went for 2 1-hour long walks which were partly inside (we were looking at other trailers by the lake) and took my dog to the beach twice for like 20 minutes each.




I hurt.

Ouch is right. I burnt this weekend too but not nearly as bad. Time to stock up on aloe vera cream.

[Brandy Hunter]

I can't put the cream on myself (Gah, I forgot the aloe at the cottage, so I used the tubes of olay I got free w/ coupon and it actually is refreshing) because I can't lift my arms because of it, so my mom did it and I was literally about to be sick it hurt so bad.

I find taking a cool bath helps also. Or yogurt as weird as that sounds.

Sorry to hear about your pain. That sun can be deceptive. Even on cloudy days, if the UV is high, it'll get ya.

Keep sipping cool water to keep hydrated too.

Feel better soon...

Yep, that looks ouchy for sure! I keep my aloe gel in the fridge, goes on so nice and cool.

[Brandy Hunter]

Yogurt on it or do I eat it? LOL.

Yes.. baths feel great, but it hurts at first.

I'm going to borrow it, ok?

When i was in Bermuda the locals told me vinegar works and boy it sure did and you smell funky too.

[Brandy Hunter]

Will I peel ?

Hehe i'll smell like a french fry ! (someone told me salt?)

[Miss_April]

Ohh I've been there! With blisters to

I'd say your going to peel for sure. I agree with Patty on vinegar, takes the heat right out and stops the burn. Just make sure to shower later

Yogurt on it. It cools - you do have to rinse off when your done.

I have never heard the vinegar one.

[rain4ever]

I use nivea on my sun burns. It cools it right away.

[Brandy Hunter]

I have a feeling I wont peel,

lets vote !

Someone said if I keep moisturizing like I do (almost every 2 hrs) i'll blister, but should't I be passed that point ?

Oh Ive been there and done that a few times! Ouch!
