Sunburned... Red as lobster...

[oo_zy]

Gosh! I cannot sleep now. I think I've sunburned myself. Now my body is itchy and painful. And it feels very warm! :-( Anyone knows any remedy to cure/soothe this? I've tried applying lotion on to it, but it doesn't help. :-( How am I suppose to work tomorrow if I can't sleep tonight? :'( *cry cry* Arrghh!!! No more being vain... :-(

Sunburn remedies

[bamboo_forest]

Oh dear, if you're looking for a cure, I'm afriad there're no quick fixes. Hwever, you can reduce the discomfort and help the area to heal faster...

Get a big tube of aloe vera gel and apply generous amounts over the afected area 3 times a day. For the next few days, increase your intake of skin vitamins like Vit C, beta carotene, Vit E & zinc to promote faster skincells turnover.

Sunburns are caused by over exposure to ultra violet radiation. As in all forms of radiation, the effects are cumulative... You'd pay the price later on in future in the form of accelerated aging (wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation). In future, never spend time under the hot sun without a sunblock in hand ;p

Poor thing.. sayang... :)

Thanks for the tips/advice... I did put sunblock lotion before I go suntanning loh... But don't know why still sunburned... Perhaps spent too much time? But only an hour plus what... :-P

The skin will need time to heal so you can't rush that...

The key thing is to get to sleep despite the pain. Maybe watch a really boring show on tv or do some reading. Just get yourself really sleepy mentally and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Hmm...at least now you understand the physical and mental torture that some of the sick have to go through.

Yeah... I know it will takes time to heal... :-( Now no longer itchy... Its painful when touched... :'(
