Sun tanning is not a very good thing :tongue3 always use protection kids |

Maybe its because I'm Asian but for all my life I've never once had a sunburn and I'm out in the sun alot during the summer 12+ hours when I was a kid and never wore sunscreen, i just kinda bronze when I'm out for that long.
But yeah aloe vera or calimine lotion works well on sunburns. |

Dan use SPF 30 for very fair skin....
for three or four days...then once u develop a base u will tan and get a nice bronze shade to ur skin...try it...but plz do not sit in the sun without any protection....
as for remedies...Aloe is good but some ppl's skin doesn't agree with it...so u can also use coco butter very soothing and it smells OH SOO GOOD!!! |

Skin cancer is a horrendous thing, one of the hardest to decet, and one of the top killers in North America....so be careful!
Not to mention it ruins your skin so when you grow older you'll get all wrinkly and funny looking...like some of those girls that religiously go to tanning salons and tan too much :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: at 25 they look 35 :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: |

Vinegar takes away the itch, true.
You're talking to the man here who has been to the hospital TWICE for 2nd degree sunburns over my whole body... I torture myself for some reason.? I knew I was gonna get badly burnt too... damn, not fearing the sun is bad! :whip:
Im like you, Playa, I know I dont tan well, but, if I get a sunburn, then I mosturize it (I just use Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotion usually), ill not peel at all and it'll turn into a sickass tan [it's the ONLY way i am able to start tanning]. If you get burnt enough times, you get used to it :D. Hehe, unless im burnt on the back of my calves, sunburns dont worry me too much anymore, well, not from a pure pain factor, but I guess form a cancer factor they do.
Solarcain is BLISS with sunburns, smells so good and works WONDERFUL and cooling you off... but it tends to make you peel, which is something I want to avoid, so I tend to not use anything when I'm burnt, except for Vasaline Intensive Care... it'll take away alot of the itch and it somewhut cooling. Note, if its a bad body burn, SOlarcain will likely dry out your skin too much and make your itching worse. :(
Aloe sucks balls if you ask me. I HATE THAT . Im ALWAYS badly burnt 2-3 times in the summer and I'll NEVER use it. Uck!
I have some really good prescription stuff I've gotten from the hospital, it comes in a MASSIVE jar so you can slather it over yourself, but I dunno who you'll get your hands on that, short of going to the hospital... but unless you've managed to give yourself 2nd degree burns or really bad first degree ones, I dont know that you'll be able to get it prescribed.

I know this sounds weird but try slathering on yogurt! lol
Last summer i went to Croatia with friends and one of them has the exact same skin type as u. She had the worst burn ever so she put on plain yogurt on herself and she was fine the next day! Mind you, she looked and smelled like freak! lol but it worked! |
