How to Soothe Your Sunburn

now when i was young and ignorant (redundant) i did get some bad sunburns, being fair skinned, etc. so a couple of basic practices took care of it afterwards. i still get them accidentally at times so i do the same, they still go pretty well.

• cool down with a nice cold shower, cold towel etc. give it a good hose down/wipe etc. NO SOAP-- you can get an allergic skin reaction as i got once.
• then apply liberally a nice thick coat of lotion. preferably with aloe in it.
• do that periodically, when you need to, when you feel warm etc.

it'll turn into a nice tan actually, usually. of course i think sun bathing for a tan etc is one of those idiot youth get it while you can when you';re a young hot chick so you can snag a man and be taken care of deals, because there's nothing that ages your skin worse than the Sun.

there' also stuff that you can use that i've read: pat your skin with a tea bag, yogurt, apple cider vinegar etc. but the main point of water and cool, then lotion to keep hydrated, goes very well.
