anyone have any tips to help it stop burning, or help the healing of it so it doesnt peel or dry out? right now Im living on aloe vera but it doesnt last long for taking away burning...

sunscreen...use as directed.

yeah well its a lil late for that

Aloe Vera Gel helps a lot to soothe it.

But for future refrence...sun screen...Also take damp towels and lay them on the affected area.

Ive used half a big bottle of aloe vera today and its done NOTHING

i HATE sunburn

same, my nose is starting to blister :S

ughhhh sunburn. that brings back bad memories. 3 weeks ago i went to soccer camp from 9-12 with no sunscreen and my shoulders got burned soooo bad. i had blisters on them and then after that went away the skin was all peeling and was brown & stuff ugh it was gross.

i know what to do,if its on your shoulders or legs and stuff, you fill a tub with warm water and you put tea in it it can be either tea bags or lipton ice tea packs (the stuff you buy to make your own ice tea) the tea bags work better, but if its just on your face then warm a mug of water place a couple of tea bags in the water (dont let all the tea run out) warm the bags up and put them on the affected ares for a few minutes, my sis did this the other ngiht, and she said the burning stopped and the sunburn became lighter and wasn't so red

I've never had sunburn before but I heard aloe vera helps, but I guess in you case it doesnt. :(

DONNNNNT USE WARM WATER. USE COLD WATER.

It'll burn like a mother fucker, but put vinager on it... It really helps. That and Noxema (i think that's what it's called)... anyways, yeah.

no cuz warm water heats up the tea and the toxins in the tea help it

youve never been sunburnt?? do u not go outside in summer

i've never tries it but i heard vitamin e helps to prevents sunburns and helps soothe the pain

DONNNNNT USE WARM WATER. USE COLD WATER.

actually your suppused to use room tempurature water, cold water shocks the sunburn and makes it worse

Ive been dying in pain for 3 dyas and my mom JUST decided to tell me she has noxema, so Ill live with that, thansk anyway!

whatever you do, don't put lotion on it to keep it from peeling! I made that mistake once, and it hurt sooo much worse. I told my mom and she was like "well duh, lotion traps the heat in from the burn"

haha..so don't be as dumb as me. I always use aloe vera gel and it works for me

Yeah i burn hell bad.
I know ive said it before, but i got 3rd degree burns from sunburn. Thats so pathetic. I mean, honestly, how many non-albino ppl get 3rd degree sunburn? eww
Lolerz, but yeah aloe vera helps, it just stings when u first put it on, coz it feels ice cold, even when it isnt... if that makes sense.... meh

I'm abnormally pale and I never tan, burn, or anything. I guess I'm just quietly getting skin cancer instead :/

Isn't this what After Sun creams are for, though?

well, use noxzema skin cleaner it works! and then take a bowl and fill it with cold water and ice and then take a cloth and put it on your back!

wear sunblock when your in the sun problem solved so more sunburn!

youve never been sunburnt?? do u not go outside in summer

No. My skin has never gotten burnt before. It always just tans.

ps. I live in California for godsake! i'm ALWAYS outside.

hmmmm well this isnt so much for a burn but once i spilt boiling water on my arm and i put flour mixed with room temp water and it stopped burning imediately.. good luck

I've got the same problem.

I've got skin peeling off my face like crazy as we speak. -_-

I had sunburn a few weeks ago.It helps to take a cold shower,allthough I didnt do it.When my skin is peeling I put a moisturiser on it,it helps

i got a sunburn yesterday! lol but what works better is if you have an aloe plant and you cut open one of the leaves or whatever they are and use the stuff inside it. it works like twice as good as the stuff you buy at the store

i had sun poison...hurt like hell .. i was blistered everywhere and used aloe vera it didnt help me either..i went to the hospital..they gave me tylonel 3's..workes like magic..lol...its a pain pill.. but stay indoors used aloe vera even if u think it isnt workin..and if still hurt after about a day or 2 go to the hospital anbd see what they say....
