Okay, let me start off by saying I NEVER burn. I usually just get darker.
This past Thursday I left for vacation and I waxed first thing that morning so I wouldn't have to for the rest of the time but dumb me forgot that you're supposed to wait 24hrs before sun exposure 😭 so now I have sun poisoning on my upper lip and around my eyebrows lol has this ever happened to anyone else? I've been putting aloe Vera gel on it but is there anything else I can do?

I agree with aloe Vera ice cubes
And if it doesn't go away soon maybe see a doctor of dermatologist

DO NOT DO ICE.

I cannot exagerate it enough. It will basically shock your skin and cause the layers of skin to seperate, making the sunburn/poisoning worse. Aloe vera and an anti inflammatory medicine are best such as tylenol or aleve.

Take a benedryl if you have any. I have to everytime I wax bc I get super red & sometimes get hives. but only take 1!! & maybe at night bc it makes you sleepy. :) it'll help!

Benadryl is best for allergic reactions such as hives, it blocks histamines.

I've had sun poisoning 3x 😭😭 and aloe Vera will definitely help and stay out of the sun! Don't let your skin get in it! Only makes the poisoning worse!
