Suunburn- lots of lines!!

forestfruits

I got sunburned on wednesday, I rarely leave the house without factor 15-30 on me as im pasty to say the least. Anyhow I got caught out without a pick of suncream on and got my face, arms, little bit of my back and chest roasted! So I look like Im a red person wearing a white t-shirt:(

Ive been lashing on the e45 cream and nivea body moisturiser, my face has started to peel today its like a snow storm! (I have rosacea so it was doubly stupid to get my face burned I know)

Any clever tips to help me get rid of the redness??

Strange Loop

Try rubbing in some aloe vera juice.

It will definitely help the burnt skin and may turn it to tan.

The Lovely Muffin

Get some Soltan Aftersun Cooling Gel with Aloe Vera - absolutely brilliant stuff.

The Aloe Vera in it with help with the peeling and the sunburn.

EDIT:

Just saw this:

Soltan Face Aftersun Balm. I've never used this, but it might be some help.

Hydrogel, red bottle, sprays on, works miracles

If you put the creams on while your skin is still damp from the shower you will absorb more. Also, sunburn is incredibly dehydrating so make sure that you are drinking enough water
