Solarcaine has a new product that has lidocaine in it, this numbs your skin and there are other componants that help it heal. I also alternate using the solarcaine spray, this provides instant relief as well.
It will take about 2-3 weeks to heal, so you should be fine for school. Don't scratch and you will have no scars. Anything will aloe in it also speeds recovery.
orphans answered Sunday August 6 2006, 11:11 am: Hello,
A product I use that really works wonders for me is Solarcaine. Gently put it on your face, but don't put it on too much. Just once or twice a day. You could also use Neutrogena After Sun Treatment.
Most likely, your sunburn will be gone when school starts. I have gotten bad sunburn before, and it will take a good two weeks before it will fully heal.
If your sunburn itches, it just means that skin is growing back and do not itch your face! EVER!
I got burned bad once and I will never let it happen again! You are putting yourself up for sun poisoning and skin cancer when you get repeatedly burned like that!
