So I went out on the boat on Sunday and got FRIED. I have such fair skin so I know I should've put my sunscreen on. Having too much fun made me forget to reapply :/

I'm in so much pain ALL over my body! Any home remedies other than aloe to reduce swelling and pain? Thanks girls.

Apply aloe vera gel on it! It helps moisturise and soothes the skin! Good luck! xx

Noxzema lotion is what my great grandma used to put on my bad sunburn. She said it would draw the heat out. Don't use the cream. Use the lotion. (:

Oh man :X try coconut oil or go to the store and buy something like this. It's good for burns and it really helps. Plus if you spray it on you don't have to touch the skin directly.

I use Zum Rub in Frankincence and Myrrh! I love this stuff. I put it on my face after laying out all day at the pool and my face got red. After I put it on my face I didn't peel or anything!! And the next day my face was brown!!

I also use it all over my body where ever I get burned and it smells amazing and my skin feels so good afterwards. It also has a ton of difference uses!! It can be used for chapped skin, cracked heels, cuticles, lips, healing scars, tattoos, poison ivy, SUNBURNS, make-up removal, bikini wax, and frizzies

Take a bath and add vinegar I know that sounds gross and weird but it draws the sting out.

Last year I got super sunburned and my friend had me rub coconut oil into my skin, wait for it to dry, add aloe Vera, and then honey and wear an old tshirt. I did this for three nights and it was completely gone after the third time.
