i wasnt sure what category this should go in...
so i have fair skin and of course it would always burn if i ever spent a long time in the sun without sunscreen. well i went to greece a few weeks ago and got the worst sunburn in my life except only on my nose and hands. i used sunscreen but it did not help.
eventually it healed but then i went back out in the sun, wearing suncreen and now i always seem to get burned. i want to go to this beach party that is being held but my nose is already extremely burned and i dont want to make it worse. sunscreen is NOT helping at all. what should i do? i was told to wear a hat but all hats seen really dorky and i want to look cute.

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
Apply an oil free moisturizer with added SPF at night time and during the day even if your in the house only. It can be a small amount like 15, but they usually sell them saying "Daily Moisturizer with SPF protection" If you apply this daily it will make a HUGE difference to your skin. Once you have started doing that daily, you can add Nutragena SPF 70 (to be safe) or anything above 45-50. I think you will defintiely be pleased with results (my sister is a pale red head so she has the same exact problem.)

I have really fair skin as well. When I was a teenager I tried to tan one summer (I used sunscreen) and was sun-burnt so bad that my doctor said I had 'sun-poisoning.'
Part of the problem could be that the SPF of the sunscreen that you are using isn't high enough. Try a sunscreen with a SPF of 45 or higher, prefferrably waterproof otherwise you will have to re-apply. Once I started using a higher SPF... I haven't had a sunburn since.
