Anyone else sunburnt?

[Dreadi]

Currently into my second day of sunburn and its a frustrating agony!

Went camping over the weekend down the gower with the misses and some friends and took a swim in the sea on the saturday afternoon then sat about at the beach for a bit before heading back to camp then a few hours later i turned a nice shade of pink. Legs aren't to bad but from just above the elbows to my waist line its still horribly pink and stingy and itchy and cold showers dont help much

Apply Mustard to affected areas

Luckily because of my genetics (a mix of Italian and Eastern european) It takes a hell of a long time for me to burn!

I wonna stop the pain, not look like bigfoot!

I managed to burn the top of one of my lady bumps in cyprus last week, and now I have a horrible blister.....am grateful not to have to be taking my clothes off in front of anyone right now thats for sure.

Doesn't stop you getting skin cancer like anyone else though, be careful

Went to the harbour festival in brizzle on Saturday expecting rain, but ended up drinking mango ale in the glorious sunshine.

I've not got a very sore neck and my nose is very red.

Happily I'm not sunburnt because I a) remembered to apply suncream and b) it started absolutely chucking it down after about half an hour on the beach yesterday. So now I can report that running in the rain is quite fun and that suncream is not tasty when it gets washed off your face and into your mouth.

I dont really suffer when I get sunburnt.
Was burnt in Thailand this summer but wasn't in any pain.

I look like a complete plonker. My arms and face are brown after spending last couple of days in the garden, while the rest of my body is white.

Caught too much sun a the motorshow and went a little red as applied no suncream. Thank god Id just come back from france so had some protection and colour.

No, ever since I got incredibly burnt a few years back I seem to have developed an immunity to it, even if I have still got some after effects of the original burning.

Aftersun with alovera > sunburn especially if you put the aftersun in the fridge first

[JBuk]

I had sunburn really badly on my shoulders, doctor gave me a stem of aloe vera from a plant he had in his office, worked well.

Then why not take some sun block?! I'm truely amazed at the amount of people I know that go out all day in the sun without it! I always have some in the car and golf bag... If I was going on holiday to somewhere hot like Tunisia, I'd definatly be taking some. and none of this stupid factor 8 that people think is stong enough, I'd take some proper factor 30.
