Hey im representing teenage cancer trust and its my job to make sure you don’t get burnt like Denise Van Outen in the papers the other day!! Not only is it embarrassing it can also make you develop skin cancer, which is not a good thing. I used to think that if I don’t wear sun cream then I wouldn’t tan but that is not the case.

Do NOT use calamine - this is used for weeping sores (i.e. poison ivy) and will dry your skin out more. Use aloe and a good lotion. I would recommend finding a tanning salon that carries a product called %26quot;Insurance%26quot; by California Tan, it is a blue gel that helps a sunburn heal so that your tan can appear quicker - and it actually works! Also, you can get a lotion called Hemp from the tanning salon or from Trade Secret that is very moisturizing and will feel really good. Try putting the Aloe in the freezer for about 15 minutes before putting it on. Also, NEVER put aloe on hot skin because it can trap the heat underneath and cause blisters. So you should cool your skin off first with cool compresses (not ice!) then apply the aloe and then the lotion. As long as you do not have liver disease, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain. Good luck!!! :) Pharmacy School! 0% 0 Votes
Sunburns typically go away entirely in a week. After a couple of days it shouldn%26#039;t sting as much.

Don%26#039;t use heavy moisturizers. Your skin won%26#039;t be able to breath.

Every time you think of it apply the aloe vera. You%26#039;re skin is dried out and thirsty, this will help your skin to feel soothed and moisturized.

Drink more water. You%26#039;ve dehydrated yourself by being in the sun too long.

Sleep more. Your body does most of it%26#039;s repair work while your are sleeping, including damaged skin.

Next time wear a sunscreen with atleast SPF 15. 0% 0 Votes

Unfortunately you are doing the best thing for your skin right now (the aloe), your skin should peel in a few days and go back to normal. 0% 0 Votes
