    Hot weather + naked flesh + falling asleep = extreme pain!!!

    Anyone else fall into the trap of napping in the sun? :D

    Started to feel the burn yesterday alright... for some reason my kinda-pasty flesh stayed its original colour. I guess i got lucky.

    Didn't get to enjoy the sun properly 'cause of work this weekend so no, didn't get burnt. Have fallen asleep in the sun before though and it's horrible, especially if it gets your back or chest, very sore to sleep on and even worse when it comes to showering.

    I never burn, Last year in Venice it was 40 Degrees and I wandered around in short shirt etc with no sun cream and I didn't burn.

    My tan got nicely topped up (have a nice base cause I was in Spain last month) but my right arm got burnt after driving from Limerick to Cork yesterday - so I look kinda funny! Not too badly burnt though, still brown with a slight pink twinge......

    Got Aloe Vera Dave?

    Got sun-burned down half my body yesterday so i know exactly what you mean. Go out and buy some Aloe Vera Gel (more manly... GRRRRR!) and put it in the fridge.

    Then apply... cools you right down and eases the itching!

    If you've touched it already, you're too late.

    I burn very easily, last year I was in Macedonia and burnt consistantly for a month, even through factor 20. I also got a nice red coating at the weekend.

    The solution to sunburn is simple, ignore it. Don't touch it at all, just have a cool shower (warm water will only inflame it more)

    The worst thing you can do is expose it to the sun (double sunburn ****ing hurts) so make sure you cover up (suncream won't do).
    And the second worst thing you can do is itch. So DON'T TOUCH IT!
