Okay, I had a little too much fun in the sun today. I've taken a cool shower, and I've fully lathered in lotion. What else can I do?!?
Answer:
Try going to a drug store and getting a product that has an aloe vera gel and putting it in the refridgerator before you put it on. That usually works for me!
Alo Vera gell is magic
ALOE VERA
wear suntan lotion b4 going outside
actually i have found taking a shower in the hottest water you can stand is better and also get an aloevera plant if you cant get that get banana boat aloe it works well
solar cane
Solarcane- Aloe with Lidocane
Prevents peeling and relieves the pain, somewhat.
I'm fair skinned and I burn easily. Try something with aloe in it! :) Works like magic for me.
Go and buy some Aloe Vera Gel. It's the best thing for a sunburn. You wanna buy the stuff thats green. It's like a gel.
Just lather it on..Promise it will work!
get rid of that lotion, unless it's aloe. pure aloe.
Aloe gel!! Feel better soon!!
Aloe
it will burn at first but equal parts of vinegar and water have always worked wonders for me!
Aloe dude, always aloe and a lukewarm bath.
Milk will take the sting out of the sunburn. Apply it with a gauze pad, or just use a cloth. It really works!Feel better, I know sunburn sucks.EDIT: Aussie Nurse seems to think you were in a nuclear blast or something. Aussie, chill out, its sunburn dude.
cold water is the best first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. NEVER ice or vinegar or milk or butter or mustard or toothpaste or sunscreen or semen or vaseline or tomatoes or vanilla extract or yogurt or sour cream or egg white or lavender oil or cocoa butter or salt or tea or potato or shaving cream or olive oil- not until the skin is fully healed! ignore anyone who advises any of these!i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent)cover the burnt area in paraffin wax after cleaning and removing any burst blisters - these are just sites of infection and will take longer to heal. wash and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.cling wrap alone is ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it also acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt. - please note that cling wrap isn't always practical, like on your face.paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.(aqueous cream has a bunch of paraffin in it plus some moisturisers - look out for stuff that also contains sorbolene or glycerine as these help also). following this regime definitely will help your sunburn heal faster and peel less. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids- this is a function of healthy skin.so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top as long as there is no broken skin this works great. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.long term treatment to prevent scarring or loss of function due to contractures(as skin heals it can tighten reducing how much you can move - a skin graft is necessary to repair this). daily moisturiser, daily stretches - talk to a physio, pressure bandages like tubigrip, massaging the scar. this all reduce/flatten the scar and minimise the need for further treatment/surgery. http://www.doorone.com.au/xgs-aqueous_cr...http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-c...hope this helps - let me know how you go and what similar brands/alternatives are available in your area email if you still have questions - send photos feedingthedogcustard@hotmail.c...finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons.
Try witch hazel before you put lotion on. Keep drinking cool liquids to keep your body heat from the burn down. Sorry about your luck.
There are alot of commercial gels available with aloe vera that will provide some temporary relief. Take some ibuprofen and stay out of the sun until it heals.
you know what? I have actually heard prep. H helps. no joke try it
rub some plain yogurt on your skin let it sit for about 2 minutes then take a shower =] then just put some aloe vira on it
This is going to sound a little crazy, but I've done it and it works (and I'm about as pale as a ghost)!
Boil a lot of water, or just fill your sink up with the hottest water you can stand. Then put a lot of tea bags in it. Let it brew as much as you can, then soak a washcloth in it and lay the washcloth on the sunburn. I would recommend using a dark colored washcloth, since tea stains.
aloe vera gel is great! keep it in your fridge.
nice cool aloe vera!
Try getting aloe vera gel with lidocaine. You can get it at any drug store. Also, take aspirin for the swelling and pain.
aloe never worked for me
you have to put on Noxzema
rub it on and leave it or take a shower to wash it off
the relief usually lasts for about an hour
hope it helps
I would love to make you feel better
Aloe vera
Pour a quart of vinegar into a full (tepid) bath %26 soak yourself for about 45 minutes;
take Benadryl (it actually helps with sunburn pain -- really!);
slather Noxzema onto your skin;
put on very loose, very lightweight clothes and relax.
And, of course, DRINK A TON OF H2O for the next couple of days.
I'll come over and massage some aloe vera lotion all over your poor sunburnt body if you'd like. I know that'll help.
