Sunburns

[Reverie]

Do you tend to get sunburnt? How do you help your sunburns? Do you put Aloe on it? Do you try other remedies?

It honestly depends. My neck will get sunburnt pretty badly, but my arms, not so much.

I've only gotten sunburns a few times, and both times it's always aloe and long showers with cold, cold water. Ice packs on my forhead as well, otherwise I probably couldn't sleep.

I don't tend to burn but when I have it's been my nose and face. I normally use Aloe gel and I have this oatmeal powder that helps soothe and prevents peeling. I think the powder is by Neutrogena- you basically make a compress out of it and apply it when needed then wash off thoroughly or if you're burnt on your arms/legs then you can pour it into bath water. Makes a big mess though due to whole pieces of oats.

Sunburns are awful! I haven't gotten one in a while though. I generally try to avoid long exposure to sunlight, since I don't like the heat much either. I wear baseball caps a lot too.
