Right. I have two hours to a date I've been looking forward to all week! I bought new clothes for it especially and now cant even wear the shirt as it's mostly white!!

Had the day off work so thought I'd catch some rays to get some sort of tan before tonight. Well seeing as I was up late last night I managed to fall asleep for a few hours with my sunglasses on...

Now I've just had a shower and gone to do my hair and was horrified at what was looking back!! Bright red face, white eyes and dry fluffy hair that refuses to be styled no matter what I do to it :( I've now finished shouting at the mirror and my stupidity but it still doesnt put off the fact I'm meeting a hot lady in less than 2 hours and look like a walking tomato with white eyes and scary hair.

I'm tempted to shave my hair as have clippers and just wear a black top - but how do I make the red face look less without resorting to makeup?!!

HELP!! I look stupid :(
 
Yeah it wouldnt bother me if a bloke turned up for a date sunburnt, am typing this from Barcelona and am rather burnt myself today!
Just make a joke about it or something, if she brings it up, I wouldnt worry too much.
 
was kinda pointless anyway.. you cant get a tan straight away it takes something like 48 hours for the first melanin/pigmented-skin to come though to the top

surly that can't be true. I look a lot browner when I come home from work. If it's been a very sunny day.

lol i got sunburned on saturday, its still there now on my nose...

Not much you can do, either reschedule or just go with it.
 
Not sure whether these will work but i'd try

Cold Shower.
Moisturising. (with Aloe Vera)
Allergy tablets can help get rid of any itching it causes (I think)

As for the hair, just wash and condition it?

Don't use makeup, she'll notice. Just tell her what a plank you've been, it won't be offputting.
 
Dont wear white clothes otherwise you will look like a SWAN VESTA..

Thats a brand of a box of matches if nobodys know what I mean..
