I went surfing and my sunscreen wore off and I got a burn again. anyone have some good remedies for helping my skin heal. Any special oils and such?
No idea. Wish I was sunburnt as well though it's freezing here in the UK this morning. Where abouts do you live?
If you don’t have anything, pour a yoghurt on your skin. It’s first aid, until you get something better.
Cool the burn. Sponge the burn with moistened cloths or take a cool bath or shower. Do not use ice cold, but cool water. Do not use bath salts, oil or bubble bath. Do not scrub your skin or shave your skin. Use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry. Rest in a comfortable position, in a cool, quiet room. Stay out of the sun. Drink plenty of water.
Drink some coffee, you don't wanna fall asleep. You'll wake up in the middle of the night screaming from pain. Ok, seriously - as someone already suggested, yogurt/aloe is great, but I'm guessing you got sunburns all over your body. Best bet would be going to a pharmacy and asking there. About showering, use some hydrating creams.
Real Aloe Vera. Buy it at nurseries or plant shops and grow it in a window. Get the real thing not these lotions and creams. Real Aloe Vera on a sunburn is nothing short of a miracle.
Beside of Aloe Vera, you might want to try these following methods: 1. First, you have to chill a spray bottle of vinegar in the refrigerator, and then spray it on your sunburn wound. 2. Try to puree a peeled cucumber and rub it on the sunburn.
If your sunscreen is wearing off during surfing i think you should wear a full sleeve T-shirt while surfing.
Any feedback ? What I'd like to ask is, did you stay from morning to dusk or is the sun really strong ?
Aloe Vera gel might help you. But if your skin is too sensitive to sun you should consult with a doctor. You should go for some Herbal product to be cured which are easily available in the market.
