I've heard that if you get a sunburn, and you put sunscreen on wherever you got sunburned, it makes your sunburn turn into a tan. I've tried that before and it never worked.
My question is: is there any way to make a sunburn turn into a tan? Are there any special things to use? How long does it take to work?

kristen22 answered Sunday June 25 2006, 12:21 am: Next time your out in the sun, be it your backyard or at the beach spray on a bottle of Ocean Potion EXTREME Amplifier Oil SPF4 I absolutley swear by it. I'm somewhat fair skin or shall I say used to be. You spray it on then of course, I turn somewhat red and in less than 2 days the redness is all gone and I'm tanned really dark. I love it!!

It helps you feel less burned, and turns the burn to a tan.
Basketball3846 answered Saturday June 24 2006, 11:52 pm: Well if you do get burnt, put on Aloe Vera. It isn't healthy to burn just to tan but if you do get burnt, it could range from a day to a week for it to turn. For me, it's about a day but I am also a dark complextion. It really verys. But just watch out because you could get skin cancer or sun poisoning. [ Basketball3846's advice column | Ask Basketball3846 A Question ]
babiigirl answered Saturday June 24 2006, 11:29 pm: Well i use Aloe Vera. Its sold at just about any drug store. Its with the sunblock and its green.
You really shouldnt lay out in the sun and get sunburnt just to see if you can tan because if you get burnt to bad you can get sun poisoning.
JackiexMarie answered Saturday June 24 2006, 10:26 pm: If you get a sunburn, it will eventually turn into a tan with a few days by itself. I know because it happens to me and everyone else. This is because since your skin has been severly damaged by the initial burn, and it is working to protect against another sunburn. So yeah, it's not good to burn yourself just to get tan.
