sunburn

I really sucks to be you! I hope you feel better and wear sunscreen next time.

don't use that spray bottle sunscreen.
you end up with blotchy spots of burned and unburned skin and look totally weird

Cold Sour Cream- it stinks but it sure does help.
Cools the skin and removes the redness, you just have to keep applying it 7x a day.

Sour cream??
I am puerto rican/italian...I always look tan, and rarely get burned. My whole family is like that. I do however use SPF all the time, due to the fact that the sun shines bright and hot all year round here!
Oh and a hat is a must in that type of climite

I got a sunburn this weeken when i went to the beach!

Sunburns are the worst. I've had five this summer from going to the beach. 😠

They sure are!!!!! But it is the only best way to get that beautiful natural tan....i tried the tanning lotion and that only left me with blotches all over my body!!! 😠

the key is to build a base. like diego says... if your dark you don't burn easy. to get a good dark tan mix 20 SPF with tan accelerator and rub in... to avoid blotches have someone rub it in for you.

hey thanx!!!!! i'll try that!

though I prefer sunscreen...

sunscreen is cool.....when you don't want to get tanned!! but I love looking tanned in the summer, i am in love with that bronze color.
But right now i just have a burn 😮

You still get tanned with sunscren.
Best tan is if you spend lots of time in the water. You start getting darker.

you can take a sunscreen that gives you bronze color 😉.There are on the market...

really awesome!!!!!!

there is this lancome one i use, it protects you from the sun and gives you a tan but i don't know if you would call it a sunscreen!

but i'll keep my eyes peeled for those type of sunscreens and i'll take your advise kes! thanks!

you're welcome 🙂

yup,u're welcome

thanks for the tips, my dad got some green cream that makes it feel better. worked sucked today cuz of it though, the itchy blockbuster shirt almost killed me. but i survived... and lucky for me i rarely go outdoors so i dont have to worry about skin cancer.

Green cream? 😛
