Any Tips???
Posted: 08-21-04 21:04pm

Completely off topic but I need some help* I got a tanning membership sence im so pale and I want to be tan when I start back at work (only 1 week! Shocked ) anyhow, I got soooo burnt! It kills and I look like a cherry. I really dont want to peel, normally I dont tho. But does anyone know any tips on what to do for sunburn? Besides aloe vera and coco-butter? Neither seems to be helping, it hurts!! Thanks!

Cold showers help the pain. But I am not to sure about the pealing though. Good luck though

Vitamin e oil works good...And you wanna keep your skin moist so lots of lotion. You peel becauz your skin drys up and dies...So you wanna keep it as moist as possible...And try not to rub up against anything hard cuz it might cause you to peel. Hope that helps

Instead of a cold water pounding on you, I always take a cold tub bath. That way you can ease down in and soak. Then I usually let about half of the cold out and fill it with warm. It may not help with the peeling, but it makes your skin feel so much better!

Love,

Blistex!!

Of course, its not feasible for large portions of the body, but I have found that on small burns, its the miracle cure!

I'm not sure where you're from, but here in the us they sell this stuff called lanacane (sp?) spray! Its awesome!! It takes the heat out of a sunburn, but leaves the color..... Its in an aerosol can, and only like $3/can! It does wonders!

Noxema... It works. My friend got sunburned and she was burnt, and she said it worked.

Wow and none of you think of the dangers.
Burning is sooo dangerous and can be your quick ticket to skin cancer.
I used to be a sun worshipper (especially bad cuz i'm blonde) until I got my first tattoo and got informed by my tattoo'ist not only what the sun could do to my tattoo but what it will do to my skin.
If you must tan please please use a protective lotion and an aftercare product and do try not to burn.
Also good idea to use an anti-aging product as well as it the uv rays cause wrinkling, breaking down the elastic fibres in the skin.

Aww huni I think if you are going to peel, it will happen. It's great pic of though and your skin will be all smooth underneath and tanned lol just loads of moistruiser I have hawian tropic cooling gel with aloe vera that works a treat. I gave it to chris because he got burnt in the sunbeds and could hardly sit for a week lol

Yeah, you'll still get tan through sunscreen, and it won't harm your skin nearly as much!! And none of that spf 4 sh|t. That doesn't count as sunscreen!!
