So,who got sunburnt today?

sunflower27

Was outside a while ago and saw some serious sunburnt skin. Ouch!

Tip: Cut a tomato in half and put it on the burn - the tomato takes the heat and sting out. It holds the heat, much the same way the tomato is always the hottest part of a toasted sandwich.

Celly Smunt

aaah, a chance to share and some good advice...unless you somehow have a previously undiscovered tomato allergy!

I have a farmer's tan since February.:cool:

I would have assumed cheese is the hottest part. Always burning my mouth on it.

Nice, I cure my sunburn and get a cooked tomato too! Win win!

Nope, it is the tomato. I grew up in a very hot climate and my mum, a nurse, always used tomato on our sunburnt skin. It takes that real sting out. After you have used the tomato, wipe down the skin and lather the skin in aloe vera as often as possible. Best way to stop peeling

You forgot you have to eat the tomato.

In one go, yeah. Sorry, forgot that bit.

A small patch on my neck but nothing major. Today was the first time since 2010 that i put on sun cream.

Was out golfing.

Sun burn - negative

Ring burn - affirmative

There's a Christmas movie on True Movies if you want to take you're mind off the sunburn.

I don't get sunburn, just extra freckles all over my shoulders.

Sounds like a pretty feeble excuse if you ask me.

I was working on a roof all day - burnt like an ass as were the rest of the lads working alongside. The sun was very strong for Ireland. A cool Bud is taking the heat out of it right now. Back again tomorrow. Hmm.,

Sunblock dude.

It's pissing to the high heavens in Toronto today.

I stupidly left the house without an umbrella and have had to sit at my desk in rain-soaked clothes all day, see-through t-shirt, water-clogged shoes, drowned-rat hair...and that was just from walking the four minutes from my apartment to the subway station.

I hate you all.

bnt

Used SPF15 lotion, so only a very mild burn on my arms. No burn on head or neck, thanks to my cricket hat.

More folks should be wearing a hat - and I don't mean a baseball cap, which is worse than useless since it leaves your neck exposed. Unless you wear it backwards, in which case you're going to get cancer of the face and deserve it. :cool:

I'm a grown-up, so I wear sun cream. That means I don't have to rub tomato on myself.

I'm living with my parents, who watch TV shows like "A Place in the Sun", which exposes me to the aesthetic reality of people from our climate who enjoy the sun too much. Stemming from that, I have a horrible fear of becoming like those oul' English wans with those creases all down their bewbs and neck, so I slather the factor 50 on like there's no tomorrow. I'd rather not have a chest that looks like Gordon Ramsey's face, thank you very much.

Never been sunburnt in your adult life? I don't believe you.

Baseball cap and long sleeved shirt is top of the "stuff you'll bring to work tomorrow Nucking you muppet" list. Sunblock won't really work...ghey and all that. Real men sit around all evening complaining about how sore they are and then get skin conditions.. or so I'm told by all the real men I work with..

I do get that sun burn is a common and often faultless issue, I was just having a laugh. But nope, never as an adult. I did get sunburnt as a small child a couple times.

I wasn't poo-pooing your tomato thing though. It makes sense.

April O Neill

Nope. :cool:

Got badly sunburned in hols last year. Never again.

Especially as I really don't care about getting a colour.

Tanned skin = sun damage = premature aging + increased skin cancer risk.
No thanks, I love the feel of the warmth on my skin but through a layer of sunscreen.

Celly Smunt wrote: »

Still indicative of sun damage!

It isn't the nicest thing on your skin, but seriously, it works great for taking the sting out, especially on kids. I remember when sunscreen only went as high as factor 15 and wasn't waterproof - and that was no fun in Sydney. We went through a lot of tomatoes!!

Once sunburn is at a certain level, there's no avoiding peeling.

You'll prob still get a much better summer than us overall.

Me too, yuck. It looks sooo bad. It's precisely the reason I don't do tanning.

michellie

I don't burn, I tan.

Hate seeing burnt people. Be careful for crying out loud!!

Once again, tanning is a sign of sun damage too.

I'm gonna leave this thread before I start pissing people off. Prob too late! :pac:

Or im my case, an Italian grandfather. But even though I've a very high sun tolerance and dark skin I wouldn't not put on suntan lotion. I'm outside 8hours a day and would be burnt to a crisp without some

Never heard of that. How long should one rub the tomato on the skin for ?

Mr Benevolent

I was inside getting very bored and being paid for it. Get in!

You don't rub it so much as just hold it on it and the heat from the burn is absorbed into the tomato, a minute or so should do it and then move to a different spot. You will feel the heat in the tomato.

I'v a Farmers tan and not a farmer :cool:
usually don't burn except my ears and fecking shoulders

You'd have a darker starting skintone to begin with, I'm sure, but any tanning on top of that is sun damage.

Ilyana 2.0

I went a bit pink when we had the first really warm spell a few weeks ago, which is now a nice tan (thank heavens for French ancestry). I've great plans for tomorrow involving sun, the garden, a book and a few beers :cool:


...And suncream

Brown vinegar is supposed to help. Said to quicken tanning process.

Ok, so no rubbing in or anything like that.

How many 1 minute times would you get out of 1 tomato.

And would you go for a shower after dong the tomato thing ?

I'm trying to figure out if a tomato would be sticky or not when applied to the skin.

Cold tea works as well to cool the sunburn down.

aloe vera works great for sunburn BTW.

It does?
