So I was at a protest yesterday and managed to get really burnt, through spf 50. I have been drinking a ton if water, applying aloe and cerave moisturizing cream. is there any other ways to ease the pain and make it feel less tight and dry, since I really don't want my face to Peel! the worse is on the back of my arms. so any help would be great!

You are doing basically everything that I would recommend! Continue with the drinking if water and aloe! There are after sun lotions you can buy and you may want to try one of those. Beyond that maybe take some Advil or other pain medication if it really starts bothering you pain wise.

Thank you, I'll pick up one of those lotions tomorrow. it's only bad when I try lifting my arm or when I tuck my Hair behind my ear, which I do unknowingly, since the are burnt too. thank you kendra

It sounds word but cucumber really work. You can put thin slices on your burn but bathing in warm not hot water with cucumber slices help sooo much. My family has been doing this for years, and every time I get a sunburn I use cucumbers and it helps soothe so much.

Apparently soaking teabags in water then placing them on the burn helps. I'd google it more because I can't remember exactly.

Earl grey tea. Boil the tea bags then place them over your sun burn after they've cooled off. :)

I third using tea. Any black tea will work; the tannins help remove the redness while the caffeine acts as an antiinflammatory.

My boyfriend turned himself into a tomato in the summer and nothing would work for him (he had a surgery that had to be delayed because the burn would compromise his healing) the nurses at the hospital recommended draping damp tshirts over the affected areas to draw out the heat an it worked sooooo well!

I have the same thing and I applied aloe vera (the plant) 4 times a day onto my burns and I would exfoliate with a scrubber in the shower and then apply lotion :3 and I'm finally peeling! So it's working (:

It hurts too much time scrub, I have really sensitive fair skin, I'll try the tea thing too!
