How to avoid itchy sunburn
I love to be outdoors. I lay out, jog, swim, etc... I also love my tan. Last week I got another itchy sunburn, but the sunburn was not even that bad really (hardly even noticed it). The itching was almost unbearable at some points a day or two after getting the mild sunburn though. So, I slathered the sunburn in aloe vera gel and took antihistamines and it worked to calm the itching down, I also had to avoid the chlorinated pool and getting my back too sweaty from working out (dries up my skin causing it to itch much more).
Are there any tips I can get to avoid making my sunburn itch, other then the obvious wear sunblock? Because I do but sometimes mild sunburns just happen and the itching always comes with it.

The best thing to use is cocoa butter cream on your skin. Put this on then the coat of sunburn gel or lotion over top of it. Then in the itchy spots put more cocoa butter so it can clear it up. This way you protect your skin from the sun, you skin stays healthy, and you hardly get sunburned.
