well...how bad is your sunburn

well spoken man · 30-05-2016 10:35PM #1

I'm lying here like a big stupid lobster....soooooo not a good look....when will I ever learn...don't forget the sunscreen out there kids...

Peregrine · 30-05-2016 10:36PM

No sunscreen and no sunburns

Stheno · 30-05-2016 10:36PM

SPF15 every day, topped up with higher on days like today

I am still pale and interesting, rather then radiation red

gifted · 30-05-2016 10:37PM

Covered in freckles...still hoping they all join together and then I'll have that bronzed look...oh yeah ...

bodice ripper · 30-05-2016 10:39PM

It's space borne, carcinogenic radiation. Why would you sit out in it?

30-05-2016 10:41PM

factor 50

Captain Chaos · 30-05-2016 10:44PM

Work in an office with no windows, haven't seen much of the sun never mind a chance to be out in it. Still Irish pasty white for the time being.

Rarely outside in sun. I'm really really really fair skinned (though my hair is crazy dark brown) so don't deal with the heat very well. No sunburn for me

Spanish Eyes · 30-05-2016 10:46PM

Can't stand full on sun. I love sunny days and the sunshine that brings out the best in us, but I don't like the sweaty feeling! Must be getting old.

I love sitting under a big umbrella, or in the shade. Just mad me I suppose!

Then ya get brittle bones apparently. We all need at least 15 minutes a day of full on sunshine without any factors to protect our hips and knees.

I don't like sitting in the sun, as in roasting on a spit, so I get my Vitamin D by walking around I reckon.

theteal · 30-05-2016 10:49PM

Was it that nice? Had a busy day, didn't really notice. Got a bit of colour on the noggin yesterday in croker alright

The Backwards Man · 30-05-2016 10:50PM

I'm a bronzed Adonis. Bog men don't burn

Same ..
Factor 40 today in the playground with the younger kids.. I'm burned.. was only out for 2 hours.. feckin Sun.
Little known fact.. vitamin D from sunshine needs at least 24 hours to absorb into your system... You lie out then shower.. it's gone... This is one way a cat absorbs vitamin D..they lick it in... So folks .. always lick yourself after sunbathing

Strumms · 30-05-2016 11:00PM

A dreaded sunny day..so I meet you at the cemetery gates..

actually I did had a pint or two outside the gravediggers yesterday, nose a bit sunburdned but a great afternoon.. beat being stuck in traffic thats for sure..

lc180 · 30-05-2016 11:05PM

Factor 50 they said....
Be grand they said....

Sciprio · 30-05-2016 11:10PM

I only want my dose of Vitamin D. The rest of the sun can shag off.

Work in a place with no windows too. I love the sun but I've been working all weekend till late every evening and have seen none of it

I'm off tomorrow so it better be as nice as today!

matchthis · 30-05-2016 11:13PM

Same every year. Back of my neck gets a great colour, everything else is like the stay puft marshmallow man.

Fr_Dougal · 30-05-2016 11:15PM

Was wearing my cardigan. Didn't burn.

Disgruntled Badger · 30-05-2016 11:30PM

Good rule of thumb. White on the outside, red on the inside. any reversal of this tends to spell a problem I find.

30-05-2016 11:32PM

I had factor 30 on and went for a long walk on the beach. I'm a golden colour now. I love it. Going back tomorrow for even more.

septictank · 30-05-2016 11:33PM

Pat spillane sun tan for me, I look like a ride.

well spoken man · 08-06-2016 06:54AM

I'm hitting a solid 8/9 today....lobstered...

MarkY91 · 08-06-2016 09:02AM

Got a nice tan going on from sunbathing since the sun arrived last week.

Haven't even bought sun lotion

Winterlong · 08-06-2016 09:06AM

I must admit that I have a slightly burned back. It does not look burned but feels dry and itchy. (No, its not dirty!).

Olishi4 · 08-06-2016 09:11AM

No sunburn here but I think I broke my baby toe wearing flip flops. Walked into a picnic table.

08-06-2016 09:15AM

Was at the beach over the weekend so got a good enough colour. Little bit sunburned alright on my shoulders even though I had factor 30 on but it's fine now.

Mars Bar · 08-06-2016 09:16AM

I work outdoors so this is glorious weather for me! Factor 20 does the job. Back of my shoulders are burnt because i couldn't reach them and no one else was around to put it on for me.

Ficheall · 08-06-2016 09:56AM

OP, aloe vera is great for sunburn. If you have some rubbed over your skin by a bikini-clad blonde lass, while eating ice-cream, you should feel much better.

Lackey · 08-06-2016 10:04AM

I heard on the radio that we only get 60 days of sunshine a year on average in Ireland we had already had 15 on that day so only 45 left.
I am a nice toasty brown and ready to punch anyone in the face that complains about the heat!
I was born in the wrong country

murpho999 · 08-06-2016 10:05AM

It seems to be only Irish people who seem to find it normal and acceptable to get sunburnt or to try and go brown. Really is wrong, especially where kids are concerned,

Sunburn is damaged skin and should be prevented at all costs.

well...how bad is your sunburn
