[King PSYZ]

try the vinegar thing, stand in the shower and pour a gallon of distilled vinegar over the burn areas, let it soak in a bit and then rinse clean

[Loppfessor]

I've only had one sunburn in my life....I usually just get dark quick

[icy manipulator]

Summer has nearly begun in England and my flat mate, who is from Botswana, reckons its cold over here and is wearing a jumper also.

Once it reaches about 17 degrees in England most English people have shorts and t-shirts on however. We are grateful for any bit of sun we can get (I am not implying that you aren't).

I love the English summer! :rolleyes:

[icy manipulator]

geez, well it's about 16 here, and as i've mentioned, i'm wearing 2 jumpers :p
chilly chilly

[Loppfessor]

So far the German "summer" hasn't impressed me much but at least I don't have to buy a bunch of new summer clothes.

[icy manipulator]

for some reason it still gets to about 28 during the day here, and about 6 at night~!

[Rancid_Beasties]

You've never been sunburnt into you've been sunburnt in Australia. The whole in the ozone layer is just above our entire country. Or so I've been told. Its like our claim to fame....come to sunny australia and you will go straight from pale to being one giant skin cancer mole :rolleyes:

You can get burnt on like 20 degree days here if theres no clouds.

[ScarySquirrel]

I also am sunburnt. I was at the Grand Rapids Festival for the Arts yesterday for an amazing nine hours without any suntan lotion or anything. Bummer.

[Lindsey_1535]

I never really burn. Just get a tan. OHH but in Mexico I got burnt.
And summer is good cause my birthday!!!

[monkey]

[monkey]

my sunburn (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/moonstar85/IMG_1229.jpg). nevermind what's going on in the picture. it's a joke.

[CiaoBellaXO]

I use SPF 30 on my face and 4 on my body.

[Lindsey_1535]

Yea ouch, next time use 30. (y)

[Nurse Pointon]

Nurse Pointon to the rescue!!!

That looks like some nasty sunburn you got there.

Heres what you should do:

A cold compress such as a tea towel soaked in cold water may be soothing over the burnt area.

Blisters will heal quicker if left to the fresh air. Even a small blister is best left uncovered to heal.

If the blister bursts, you can use a dry, non-adhesive, non-fluffy sterile dressing.

If it gets any worse or sore then go see your doctor.

Also - I recommend complete bedrest - ON YOUR OWN and not with your friend in the picture.

[YoungRemy]

even after being in Texas for a week, I came back to some hot and humid air...

my aprtment gets really hot and I couldnt take it, so i bought a 500BTU A/C unit from p.c Richards...


i got it on sale for $86...
put it on my skateboard and rolled it home, its blowing pure cool air right now :D

thank you!!!
some blisters did burst. i have really red areas where they burst. but they do not hurt.
and... yea im getting that bedrest alone. that friend in the picture plays for the other team.

[venusvenus123]

ouch!

i'm gonna get myself a wide-brimmed hat (http://www.handbag.com/graphics/library3/RitaHayworth.jpg) and keep the sun off my face at all times.

[cosmo105]

good lord, that's a hell of a sunburn! i know what you mean though, my skin's the same way. i'll burn once maybe every year or two and the rest of the summer i'm jamaican. the worst was on my friend that i went to BFD with last june. she wore a shirt with a HUGE cutout in the back - basically her entire back was exposed - and ended up with a giant red circle on her back. ouchie.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Good treatment for sunburn: after sunburn cream thats made out of cucumbers or something, i'm sure you'll be able to get some if you go to the local chemist. As far as home remedies, cold wet teabags are the go(seriously they sooth the burns better than anything for some reason). I would choose them over the tea towels any day.

the ozone problem is pretty bad here.
we don't even get a real summer where i live, but you can get seriously burnt year round.

I'm pretty sure i showed you my I.D when i met you guys, but if i didn't I am seriously burnt in the photo because it was taken the day after Big Day out. Isn't it a bit odd that like 3 days after big day out, where i got severely sunburnt, the most rain in one day in melbourne ever came down? Seriously I'm a little freaked by this years weather :(

[zippo]

i officially always start off the summer with a big sunburn that doesnt let me sleep for 3 nights...but its a great start to a perfect suntan!

...and a perfect cancer filled old age!

yea that was boring
sorry

[beastie fresh]

The people that are super tan I laugh at, because they going to get owned by cancer later on in life.

PALE FOR LIFE

[enree erzweglle]

For running, I just learned to train in the early morning and to go on trails. Trails are your friend in the blazing sun. I have a lot of different types of tan lines because of the different types of shorts & running shirts/bras that I wear.

My friend has the best farmer's tan. REALLY tan neck and forearms. Everything else is lily white. It's like he's got a shirt on when he doesn't. A really white shirt.

[adrockmelanie]

i just got my second sunburn [ever] the other day.

[monkey]

it seems like i update this every weekend, i dont mean to. but i get darker every weekend. this has to end.

Whoa...its like each tanline is a totally different colour, theres at least 3 or 4. Maybe you need to start wearing tops with the same cut (at least at the back) so you get a uniform sorta tanline. Or just put fake tan or something over the lighter areas. I dunno.

[monkey]

You three, hands up and face the wall!

hehehe. you're like the 10th person to make that joke.



at this point, i think im just never gonna go outside ever again.

im like a walking cancer mole waiting to happen.
