Okay so I got a really bad sunburn on my shoulder today spending an hour to walk to the nearest 7/11 and back. It's been the first day I haven't worn sunscreen all summer, because I didn't think I'd get sunburned.
Anyway, it's a pretty small spot, luckily and isn't hurting that much. However I'm still applying moisturiser to help but moisture back into my skin. My question is: How often should I apply the moisturiser on the sunburn?
Thanks in advance!

You could use aloe vera gel, when it's cold, it feels great on your sunburn. Also, I have heard an olds wives tale, and tried it on my friend, which said it helped, using slices of potatoes to draw out the heat from the sunburn. She had gone to a water park in the middle of the summer and keep back looking like a lobster. We had cut slices of a potato up and put it on her sunburn. She laid there for a little while, when she got up, she said she felt better. Good Luck! [ AngelofMercy's advice column | Ask AngelofMercy A Question ]
