BAD SUNBURN
I have a really bad sunburn...what should I do?
I'm very fair complected. Alot of it is on my arms and face. I've tried the mustard, vinager, and other crap that people say will bring the heat out of it but it has done nothing but irritate it, and make it look even redder. Help!

Put aloe vera gel on it, or cocoa butter lotion.
Aloe Vera works VERY WELL!

Take a warm shower to draw out the heat of your sunburn. The warm water will increase circulation to the area while hydrating it, thereby speeding the healing process. Be sure to moisturize afterward as the water will dry your skin.
Aspirin kills the pain and reduces inflammation and redness of a sunburn. It short-circuits the whole sunburn process. It must be taken within 24 hours of getting sunburned.
For a severe sunburn, keep the area moist at all times with aloe vera. Aloe is very effective in relieving pain and inflammation.
Caution! You may have sun poisoning if you experience chills, fever, or get blisters or a rash. See your physician!

Hey, yeah sunburn kills but it is a bad thing too! Especially when there are blisters on it or smal bumps thats sun poising. Remember to wear sun screen and not just tanning oil or nothing at all. SO go to a stor and you can get like jell stuff there are several kinds of it. I like the kind that is the brand hawiian Topic/ Cucumber Melon soothing aloe vera it has vitamins A,Band E and it soothes, cools, and moisturises thats what the front of it says. It also is in a clear bottle and the gel itself it a green type of color. Hope this helps. Good luck in the future.

Go to wal-mart and look for a blue aloe solution called Ocean Potion. Put it in the refrigerator until it gets cold, then put it on the sunburn. It's kind of a shock at first because it's so cold, but it works awesomely. It gets rid of some of the heat from the burn and doesn't irritate it.
Hope i helped!
